Supposedly troubled kids and steelpan. Why troubled kids? Why are they troubled in the first place?



We as a society should investigate these allegations before summing up these opinions. Kids are always a result of their environment. When they grow up in an environment that's really difficult, it does not mean that they would turn out society's ills, but definitly would need the help and support of their parents first and then the rest ( meaning teachers, responsible friends, youth organizations etc.) to better themselves. We really compliment each other, when you really think about it....



This is what happens when alot of these kids try to overcome their misfortunes ( like being called society's ills ) . But I would really suggest please to the people that we are always each other's guardians and not the always famous " each one for themselves ". Kids that grew up in troubled areas and did not receive the support necessary still need help emotionally and psychologically. Because this is their way to help their self esteem in these moments. Do not leave them to tackle this on their own, I know what I am saying, my brother went through the same scenario. Help them, because as you can see, they are giving their all!!! So the steelpan organization in alot of cases have helped these children cope with their realities and alot of them lead great lives as responsable citizens. Would really like your opinions on this and other issues like this. Thanks to www.pantrinbago.com for the photos.
