For so many years, it is said that “the youth is the hope of the future” (Jose Rizal) and that the “children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” (John Fitzgerald Kennedy). For this generation and the generations that are about to come, the youth, particularly the child contains the most potential. But even with the presence of this realization, children had been one of the abused deprived, discriminated, and neglected members of the society. They had been the extensions of anger, bitterness, depression and even lust. They almost can’t do anything about it–probably because they are too innocent to understand how life works, too fragile to fight against these oppression and too young to even realize they have something to do. Where is hope when the child, in his early age, had been deprived of great foundations of the future, when they had developed fear to almost every people because the very persons they think would care for them had shattered their sense of security and traumatized them? How many of us know what can be done? How many of us know the rights a child has? How many of us will do something about it? I chose this topic because I think that it is a need -a pressing issue. We need to be advocates of child’s rights and I believe that the first step is awareness, thus, the content of this portfolio.

Lessons Learned:

I have learned during the discussion at E27 that even countries become one in their advocacy on the rights of the child. The rights of a child provided by the United Nations Children Fund, I can say, are greatly founded. It encompasses every problem a child could encounter in his life and it provides for the active participation of individuals, families, communities and the government in achieving its goal. I have learned in my readings that these rights are founded on principles and provisions. These principles are (a) non-discrimination, (b) best interest of the child, (c) survival, development and protection and (d) participation. These were the bases of the created rights because these are the usual causes of their lagging of development and growth and which are, unfortunately, usually caused by other people.

I have understood every right form first right to the forty-second. It made sense. I realized and even said to myself, “Yeah, they really need that”. Every right is meant to be enjoyed, expressed and protected. Each of these, even from the simple definition of who the child is, to the role of the parents, the government, the other nations and to so whoever wants to help, every right is important. Levels of importance, however is relative and different to every individual. If you ask persons to choose what two or three are rights are more important, you would get different answers from the person who values the family more, or who prioritizes education or probably even to a person who had a past of sexual harassment. Subjective to every person shall be the rights, but its level of importance to a child is all equal in its vitality. Let us protect these rights.

If all of us have rights, that means all of us have the responsibilities to respect it. They have boundaries on us, but we have boundaries on them too. They will help us, but let us help ourselves too and in turn, help them too in the future. They would give their efforts and time in giving to us the most habitable environment, then we too should do our responsibility not to destroy nature. These are examples of responsibilities bestowed on us. In doing our part, we become the hope the world thought was lost.

Reflection:

It is fascinating to discover about these kinds of rights and responsibilities created in the convention. However, with this fascination comes the other side of the coin—a feeling of sorrow from the reason for its existence. As we speak, probably more than thousands of children are already being abused and neglected. Some of them are probably being lain a hand on, sexually and psychologically abused, bullied and so on. As Neil Postman, a sociologist wrote in his thesis Disappearance of a Child, that “children should be sheltered from adult secrets, particularly sexual ones. Certain facets of life - its mysteries, contradictions, tragedies, violence - are not considered suitable for children to know” because if we do this “children are being robbed of their innocence, their naiveté, their ability to even be a child.” Such cruelty and apathy should not be experienced by any child. It is inhumane. For even a little amount of this experience could traumatize them for the rest of their life. And for every child traumatize, one hope of the world is being lost.

We must let them know their rights and promulgate it even to more people –young or old. This rights are like our name. If we don’t know it, then we don’t know who we are and what we have.

I have made my eyes open of the rights of the child and with it is empathy, not only to the oppressed but also for the happy and contented.

To the children, who are happy for having their parents or because they are provided for, I hope you would grow up to the very person the world wants you to be and to be the person who would help other people who is not as fortunate as you.

To the children who felt that they had been abused, do not lose hope and always remember that the physical pain you feel will heal and your well-being as a person lies in you decision to move on.

To the deprived and discriminated, nobody knows the true person inside of you. It is you who knows yourself. You must not be put down by labels and discrimination for they are ones who are inferior. Prove to them your worth, if they didn’t see it, it is them who is unworthy.

To the neglected, there people who can love you back and give you the life you are dreaming. Learn to say goodbye to the things that hold you back but never forget to forgive.

Let us protect these rights. Let us all be advocates to the rights of a child.

It started out as an extra subject. I felt so “vacant” with my 21-unit semester that I looked for courses that involve social sciences or social studies for that matter which are not included in my checklist. I had always wanted to enter a social studies class feeling that it can be a help to better understand my major Psychology. Then I saw “Building Bridges in the Social Studies Discipline” Code 514 Time MWF 8:30-9:30 Teacher Domer Macanang. I asked Sir Herbert if I could handle it, if I would have a disadvantage since I have not taken up any social studies courses in the previous semesters – he said I can do it. So I made one of my greatest decisions in the School year 2012-2013 of my Second semester: I enrolled it. I know what I did but I honestly never knew what is going to come. I didn’t know what’s behind that door, what was waiting, who were the people inside, what am I going to go through. Then I realized, “it’s not on what’s going to happen that is going to give me hell, it’s on what I’m willing to do and give to that mystery that’s going to make it one”. I decided this, so I’d better stand for it.And so I waited ‘till that day –November 5, 2012

psychjournalism:

Ever heard the phrase “take the backseat for a while” when people talk about getting things done? Well here’s a couple more car positions of that nature.

The back seat right window:

You’re the curious one who has taken it upon yourself to follow the steps of your mentor, the driver. You clearly see the facial expressions and decision making of the one controlling the vehicle, however you get distracted by the window next to you, often forgetting that you are trying to reach a certain destination.

The left window seat:

You’re the guy that doesn’t care about drive. You have only a slight idea of where you’re going, and until you get there you’re going to sleep. With your mouth open.

The middle backseat:

You’re the unfortunate soul who gets squished between hairy-legged-day-dreamer on the right, and overweight actual dreamer on the left. You’re anxious to get to the destination. You’re trying to point out directions for the driver but the air conditioner is making it hard to be heard. You secretly hate the person in the passengers seat. You’re ready to have more control of the route but you unfortunately just can’t during this drive.

The passenger:

You called shotgun before everyone even got within 100 feet of the car. You aren’t 100 percent clear on the directions for the road trip, but you know sitting in that seat makes it seem like you’re practically co-captain. You’re extremely excited about where you’re going, but even more so, you’re enjoying the drive and how it feels to be the one who gets a full view of the ride but puts in mediocre work.

The driver:

You’re the multi-tasker. In most situations, like this, you put yourself to all the work. You knew if you didn’t drive, the five of you would all end up in a different state, dead, or both. You keep yourself alert with not only the traffic, but with planning what you have to do when you reach the destination. You consider yourself the only captain of the ride. You do this resiliently.
