To the youth of our society.
Dear Readers,
The competition in the present generation is making life a struggle. But most of the youth
do not seem one bit alarmed or even aware of this serious condition.
The position of elders, teachers or even their own parents in their eyes is declining and nowadays it is not surprising if you see a child rebuking his or her parents or teachers.
I would like to give an example. The children of my school who travel with me everyday by the school bus often jeer at the pedestrians for no reason and take much joy in throwing paper balls at them and when they are questioned by the bus driver, they throw mocking comments to him with a lot of disrespect. We find no feeling of gratitude in the present generation children at all. They do not realize the efforts the driver takes to ensure that they reach home safely. We can also find them hurling abusive comments at people who raise a voice against them and children of the present generation do not show even a trace of dignity.
If we, being the future of the human race show such immaturity, the day is not far when the society will be full of anti social elements only.
Let us just look around ourselves, we will find that almost all teenagers have mobile phones in their hand. They sit with their noses buried in their devices and are not aware of the world around. Physical exercise is completely lacking. And of all I wonder if these devices are really so essential in our lives. Isn't technology taking over our own ability to think and reason?
Children should be jumping around and frolicking. Their place is not on a living room couch.
Arrogance is another prominent phenomenon among screengers[ a teenager who spends most of his or her time in front of a screen]. They are least bothered about their tumbling down grades and considered themselves as 'cool kids'and want to chill all their lives. Well, shouldn't enjoyment and hard work be balanced in one's life? Wanting to enjoy all the time and living carelessly and being a spendthrift will only lead to the person ending up destitute.
So what is the solution? Unfortunately the solution to this problem cannot be a forced one. The teens should themselves realize the importance of humility, respect and responsibility in life and must change soon. This is a serious issue and and deserves immediate attention and the teens must realize that we are slowly heading towards destruction.
