why?

I may end up answering this as i type this but its just really effecting me alot in my heart.
I see these kids come to camp everyweek, most from broken homes. and their youth pastors will sometimes give us a specifics to pray for. or maybe we get a chance to counsel one and the kid themselves share with us what is going on. but they straight up break my heart.
What in the world goes on in the minds of the parents of these youth?
i mean seriously! Do they not realize how much they are HURTING their CHILDREN with their decisions and actions, and the things that they say to them? Its like parents these days are really selfish. never thinking of the effect that what they do will have on their children! their own flesh and blood are being torn apart by the people that are supposed to be there for them. that are supposed to love them and show them your love and guard them.
How do you reach the parents!?!?!? Adults are such FOOLS sometimes!!! I wish that i could go home with the kids and smack the parents across the face and just say "WAKE UP!!!"
i know that its usually due to a cycle of "well my parents hurt me, so im gonna hurt my kids and i dont care cause i had to go through it so they do to" GET OVER YOURSELF!!!! END THE CYCLE!!! How did it feel when they hurt you?!?! when will it end!!!
it just makes me so aware of how much they too, meaning the parents, need Jesus! need to hear HIM calling THEIR names!
i sat at alter call and listened to this young girl just cry as she was sharing with me what is going on with her family, the way they treat her just SICKENS me! and these kids, they have to go home to that! they have to go home to their parents fighting, or telling them they are worthless, or smacking them around, or ignoring them.
They say that they love their children, but what about how they treat their kids actually shows the kids that they love them?!?

Lord, I ask that you would reach down into these parents hearts, that you would CONVICT them of what they are doing! that they would fall to their knees, to their FACES before you and beg for your forgiveness. These kids need you. they need to feel your love, and their parents need you to smack them across the face and turn their lives over to you so that they can show their children YOU!
Lord, i pray that each individual that makes decisions at camp to follow you, i pray that they would look to you for the love that they are not recieving from their parents. i pray that they would look to you to help them overcome it all. i pray to You asking that they would not give up! and that the cycle would end with them! so that the next generation wont have to see this pain, wont have to feel this hurt.

I realize i must sound really harsh, but if you only knew some of their stories, or saw the hurt in their eyes, you would understand. i know i cant go home with them, so all i can do right now where i am at is pray for them. Pray that they would look to God to help them OVERCOME everything that has been tearing them down
