Walk Through the Woods

This story is an attempt to touch the pulse of todays boys and girls. They spend countless hours in front of their many different games.Preteens match their skills against the latest games and machines. They use gigabytes to compete in 3-D and virtual media.They attend public, private, parochial, and religious schools where they are required to be inside most of the day. They return home to their games and begin to play.Again they are inside, defeating their games in stride. It makes you wonder if they ever go outside.Children spend so much time inside. How can they feel alive? How do they get in touch with nature other side?Todays parents dont want their children out of reach. A ten-year-old boy walking through the woods would be a security breach.I wrote this story to get parents to think. I wrote this story for preteen boys and girls to virtually link.
