I am 22 years old and was raised using the Scientology technology. My parents applied it exactly, and I never got into trouble like a lot of teens out there end up in. I am ethical and happy, all the things you should see in a Scientologist. And I'm so happy that my parents applied Scientology as well as they did, in raising me. I know that if they didn't I probably would have ended up like most teens do, getting into drugs, trying to be like everyone else, etc.
I am part of my family's Scientology Field Practice, and one of things we do is handle teens that have gotten into trouble and need to be put back on track in life. I see so many teens that have taken the wrong path, it's pretty sad. Also, an interesting thing is that all of the teens we've gotten, their parents were always divorced. This is a big reason that teens get into trouble like they do, a lot of time they start getting into trouble so that the parents will have to work together to get the kid back on track (this is like a way for the teen to get their parents back together).
Now, I am a new Mom! I have a 4 month old beautiful, happy little girl. I am very proud! She's such a happy baby and barely cries, before she cries she'll start talking in her little frustrated talk, letting me know she needs something and I usually know what she wants before she has to cry! It's very cute when she starts talking! It's not English though;) I know that being raised as a Scientologist will help me in raising my daughter, and applying Scientology like my parents did. I read Child Dianetics when I was pregnant, and I really want to make sure that I raise her using this technology. I am also studying the basic books of Scientology right now, as extension courses (home study courses). The basic books will help a lot in raising her as well, because they have all the data you need! There seems to be little tidbits in the books on children, like in Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and in one the Science of Survival lectures.
I believe it's really important that parents do at least two things:
ONE: Stick together! Don't get divorced! I know it can be real hard, especially when you have a newborn, but you have to try and stick with it, get through it no matter what. You have to remember that a marriage must continually be created, so that it stays there and you stay in love with your spouse! Go out once a week, have some ice cream, talk a walk in the park, make a nice meal for your wife or husband, whatever you do, you got to remember to keep creating the marriage. Not only for yourselves, but for your kid/s as well. They need the two of you, more than you think.
TWO: Apply Scientology technology! Read the basic Scientology books, read Child Dianetics.
L. Ron Hubbard said, "A good, stable adult with love and tolerance in his heart is about the best therapy a child can have."
So, there you have it, that is my success story for you:) I hope you have enjoyed reading this and I hope it helps in whatever trouble you may be having or may have in the future.
