Sesame Street Tackles Addiction

It’s interesting for me to see clips of “Sesame Street” now in 2019 because I have so much context and general life experience, but I often wonder how I would have grasped ideas like this as a kid. Watching this clip now, they graze over the idea of “drug addiction” without actually saying it. Is it because it’s just enough information that viewers will discuss it with their parents afterwards? This leads me to become even more fascinated by the producers and those that create the content of the show. Regardless, these are important things to discuss. Growing up, I did have peers that faced difficult home lives and obviously they weren’t discussed often, but there were subtle clues that you didn’t know how to ask about or you did and had to tread those waters when you got there.

Sesame Street are no strangers to tackling sensitive issues that are typically beyond their usual target audience, albeit in a typically subtle manner. Anybody that’s ever suffered from addiction, whether directly or indirectly, will know how damaging it can be on people’s lives. Finding a rehabilitation facility similar to The Ohana is often the best way to treat addiction however many people struggle to seek help and admit their problem to loved ones. If you have been fighting addiction alone, it’s a good idea to reach out to someone for help because it will be the most challenging journey of your life. Plus, there are now more resources available to addicts than ever before. For example, if you have an opioid addiction, this company in Ohio can get you the suboxone you need to help fight the addiction and improve your chances of going sober.

Being around an addict can turn into a burden for people, especially when it is somebody that they love deeply. Of course, sometimes, addiction can become a large part of people’s relationships, which is especially sad when it comes to romantic relationships where genuine feelings were once shared. But, when addiction takes over, these feelings can be hard to make sense of. In these cases, the best place for addicts may be somewhere like couples rehab. Here, partners can tackle their addiction together, helping one another to grow and, ultimately, help them get their relationship back on track. This may be advisable to any couple in your life that could benefit from something like this, and you may wish to guide them to places like this helpful site to get their journey to recovery started. Who knew that Sesame Street could draw such strong reactions from their stories?

This isn’t the first time I’ve shared “Karli’s” story on Yow Yow! but even through a tough upbringing, she’s such a positive light. I’m loving her story line and appreciate how much it is resonating with viewers.

Sesame Street Parodies “The Walking Dead”

Okay, we’re having a moment this evening with these posts, but how ADORABLE is this? I was actually a little bit scared to press play when I first saw this because I didn’t know how graphic this was going to get for a kid’s show, but they did a good job. In fact, it’s such a good job that it reminds me a lot of the original series that I love and it’s hilarious. By the way, did anyone watch the season premiere on Sunday?! Where are my Walking Dead fans out here?

Sesame Street: Mannequin Challenge

Tommy has been trying to convince me for the last week that the Mannequin Challenges are really cool. I’ve watched more than several by now, but this is probably my favorite so far and even then I’m not blown away by it. I just think there was so much work that went into that made it awesome plus – who doesn’t love Sesame Street?

Cover of the Day

“It’s amazing to witness how attitudes on gay rights have evolved in my lifetime,” said Jack Hunter, the artist behind next week’s cover, “Moment of Joy.” Hunter, who originally submitted his image, unsolicited, to a Tumblr, continued, “This is great for our kids, a moment we can all celebrate.”

This is the sweetest cover I have seen in a long time. What a way to warm my heart on a Friday morning…

If this isn’t the most adorable way to end Christmas, then I don’t know what is.

This won’t be my life, but if I ever had the chance to become a celebrity…being on Sesame Street would be at the top of the list!
