One of the saddest things that can be done…
Ron Says…
“Have you ever had a child on your lap sitting there enjoying himself, just talking about something or eating candy or something of the sort, and then wrap your arms around the child lightly—you’re not hurting the child, but just wrap your arms around him in a closed loop? That child wants to be gone right there.
“One of the saddest things that can be done to life is to imprison and constrain it against its own will. That is why we have invented the prison, because it breaks men; it finishes them! The same thing with a child, so you just carry over the period of natural attention span with this child and the child is immediately going to start getting restive, and you’re going to have to put on constraint.
“And how is that child going to act to constraint? He’s going to be out of contact with you the next time because you’re just like every other grown-up: you try to pen him up.”
L. Ron Hubbard

A child is a little bit like a blank slate
Ron Says…
“A child is a little bit like a blank slate. If you write the wrong things on it, it will say the wrong things. But, unlike a slate, a child can begin to do the writing: the child tends to write what has been written already. The problem is complicated by the fact that, while most children are capable of great decency, a few are born insane and, today, some are even born as drug addicts: but such cases are an unusual few.”

Schoolkids have been having a rough time…
Ron Says…
“Gee whiz, it’s—here is all these schoolkids and these schoolkids have been having a rough time and all of these kids packed into rooms, lousy curriculum, master just in horrible shape. Why? He’s got too many students, he’s got too many bosses, he— these kids come from homes that are all upset and backwards, and so forth. It’s a big problem. Big problem.
“Well, one of the solutions to this has to do with the fact that if you were to take the present time age bracket between six and twelve and straighten it out, Scientology would have won, hands down, in about fifteen years. You see, that’s—it all becomes a very easy thing, doesn’t it?”

Papa, Mama – they’re no good anymore…
Ron Says…
“Continually in this society, you’ll find a sixteen-, seventeen-, eighteen-year-old kid is in a high state of revolt.’Papa, Mama—they’re no good anymore; they’re old-fashioned. They can’t understand. They wouldn’t be able to understand a woman of the world.’ Or a man of the world, as the case may be.’They don’t have a person’s best interests…’
“All the kid is trying to do there in his teens is simply break this ‘You’re helping me, you’re helping me, you’re helping me. I’ve got to do something about it because I’m getting owned, owned, owned. And I don’t own myself anymore. And I’m getting worried about it, so I’ve got to protest, and I’ll find anything to protest against.’ And the kid at that stage will have the doggonedest things wrong with his parents. Oh, he has just terrific numbers of things. The parents have done this and done that and done this and done that to him. And actually, what he can’t face is the fact that his mother fed him every day.”
L. Ron Hubbard
