In Case if you have not notice but children is getting out of control with music....if you really want to know what i am talking about then read the rest of my essay because there is more information that you would need to know about your child. Before we get into the essay i dont want to just leave you without knowing what the essay is about, well let me tell you, this essay is going to open your mind to music, but not all get easily influenced by these things, sometimes they have to be convinced to actually turn bad, either from someone at school or a relative. Not all people should stop listening to music, because of the simple fact that some people need guidance throughout the day to make them happy instead of sad, if you are a person that easily get influence by anything then you need to at least listen to non-violent music for your sake and your cities sake.

Well like i said music can possibly effect your childs mind by going to their learning system in their head which to cause them to react badly to themselves and to others.Over 25% of students dropped out of schools because of the music they listen to, the music doesn't nessecarly tells you to drop out(of corse) but some of the music out here now-a-days tells people to smoke drink and or fornicate with a man or a women whenever he or she wants......and even though it doesnt go to the children exactly kids still want to listen to their favorite artist music and since their parents are listening to that kind of violent music they think its ok because parents are role models to their children. Music effect kids by messing with their attitudes and behavior, for example even though its only a little percentage of students that got expelled over the past Year but over 5% of students got expelled for either fighting or cursing at a teacher or principal and still 20% actually faild finals,regents, or just practice exams in one year because of the music they listen to, for anothe when one of young moneys songs came like (bed rock) a lot of students where singing to the lyrics but never remembered what their lesson was in school thats how some music can mess with your mind.

Now all these parents say that their child would never smoke,drink or commit suicide but when they guess wrong they had wished that they payed more attention to what their children when they saw it coming or when they had the chance. Either your child by now has been exposed to drugs or drinking by now or worse suicidal things or just things that can hurt themselves, its not only rap music that get some of these kids violent its punk music too, either they say something like i cut myself to feel happy and relieved or i feel like dieing because it can take me away from bullies or other bad things in life but either or they will still do it because their favorite Singer or rapper said to do it or have done it before. The reason why i say watch what kids or your child say is because when some kids have problems in life they attend to say things like ( I want to die) or (i wish i was never on this earth) they attend to actually make thoes dreams to come true on their own, but everytime i hear someone say that they either end up in critical condition or worse dead, but thats only because when they say that parents think that their child is going through a faze. Last the reason why i say watch what they do and say to others is because there have been murders on a child taking something into his or her hand when they are being bullied.

i have went around with a survey for this project and have ask students these questions. 1.do you remember anything you have learned in school from yesterday 2.do you remember the lyrics to Nikki Minaj's "stupid ho" some of them actually did remember what they have remembered what they have learned in school from the day before....but i was really disappointed about what some other kids said to me...some of them really didn't remember what they have learned the day before except for a fight that happened or what they said to a teacher and when i asked them about the lyrics of Nikki minaj's stupid hoe they actually remembered, so right there music can be a good thing but it can also be a bad thing. what i mean by that is, if music can influence kids in a negative way then it can also influence kids in a positive way without the drugs,sex,and or cursing.I have also walked around and ask some parents if their child have a Facebook,(Of course) all of them said yes and when i asked how many times a day do they get on and they said at least 6-8 hours a day.. but my thing is (How can music affect students on Facebook) and the answer is that it can affect kids on fb by putting up adds and actually putting videos of concerts of any kind, some of the parents said that they had to take away their child's Facebook because of the simple fact of how they use it for stupid things.

You should always watch what your child does/say and watch out for the language in and out of school, it takes a real parent to actually watch their kids and what they are doing most of the time..... i am not saying that all people are going to turn bad because of music because if so then that means the whole world is completely outrageous, i am just saying that we should watch what we do when we want to be like our idols because someday your favorite artist will say and do something wrong and then when you go follow in his/her footsteps then you are going to end up just like your artist either in jail or worse dead, and if your are in either one of those categories then you will be wishing that you have never done that, you cant always follow behind someones footsteps except for your parents and if they do the wrong thing then you go with what you think about life but you cant always live your life by the sound and words of music.
