You're listening to One-on-One with D.P. Brought to by Canopy Street Market on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Final segment before we handed it over to Caricker and Bach for the hour and then Bach in the Black shirt from 1 to 3. From the text, I willie says this is what up, DP. My daughter was at the party and thank the Lord. She's a smart kid. We talked a couple hours about how to handle different scenarios of that type of situation. And I read it over and over that she absolutely did the right thing.

Long story. but she and her friends got out of there quickly and safely. Thanks for the discussion. Retro, South Lake says, amen, parents need to parent. Retro, you're right. Texas says this, DP, thanks. I thank you and applaud you. These conversations that need to be had 100%.

It is the thing, right, that as a parent, give your child that information. We have a lot of blank, empty kind of popcorn conversations. they fill up space and they're tasty, but they don't really have any nutritional value for the mind, soul, and body of our young people. It is important to have those conversations. What do you want them to do in that situation?

What do you want them to do in that situation? Do you want them to call you first? Do you want them to call 911 first? You want them to call the ambulance first? Do you want them to call police first? Do you want them to call you first? Have those rules. Have that conversation.

You need to have that. that conversation with them. How do you want this handled? Fights at school. And sadly, we have to have the discussion, hopefully as parents and as educators, as teachers, that if you're a teacher that you've had these conversations with your young people under your watch, that this is the protocol, that in a day and age where people go through, okay, that people attack schools with weapons, you better have that conversation. As a matter of fact, as parents, you should probably have a conversation with the administrators from the school, from the school system, and the teachers.

You know what? If you've got eight teachers that could be in that situation with your young people, how do you want them to respond and how will they tell you they're going to respond? What is the standard and protocol? These conversations are important and they're vital. I've been in those buildings. I've been in those buildings. And as I mentor and do these speaking engagements around the city,

you find out more about the young people in those spaces. And I can tell you, you know, the pressures of being a teenager now are, man, it's massive. It's massive. It's so much information and so much access and so much pressure to be compared to the person next to you. Are you tall enough? Are you smart enough? Are you attractive enough? Are you good enough athlete?

Are you a good enough student? Do you have enough money? Do you dress as cool as you want and need to? And that whole talent and skill set of dealing with those comparisons. is the most vital thing you can give to a young person. Give them a sounding board. Give them permission to tell you truth about how they feel about it, where they stand in their circle.

You should probably know, and you should probably know their circle. Invite their friends on. Talk to their teachers. Talk to the people in the space. I mean, listen, the conversations that are truth-based heal. They provide wellness. they provide security, they provide comfort, they provide guideline and a GPS that when chaos happens,

and it will that your young people have a plane. The GPS in their heads should tell them, one, where am I? Am I in a good place or a bad place? If I'm in a bad place, do you want to recalculate? Do you want to reroute? Give your child that power.

If it says, we said, where are you going to be? The GPS will tell you, is that a place that you should want to end up? It appears that you are at a fight. Recalculate. It appears you're at a place where your parents don't know where you are. Recalculate. It appears that you're heading away from home. Are you sure?

Because this says this is not where you should be. are you where you say you should be because the GPS will tell the truth. Is this where you're supposed to be? Is this who you're supposed to be with? Parents, give yourself the freedom. There's no perfection in parenting. There's no perfection in being a teenager. We never always get it right.

But we can make plans. We can put things in play. Love and truth are the two things that will carry you through if you have those conversations honestly and with love to the people you care about that's it for me at a paraker up next here on the ticket he's run a little bit late so bach and i'll hang out talk a little bit about what's happening in husker lane so character gets here we'll do that because we love you that much y'all be truthful y'all be loving because
