Teen Problems First Aid

Children today are blessed with peace and harmony of the society. Not very much of violence and wars. Technology and science are so advanced that uncountable information and knowledge are at the touch of our fingertips  . Everywhere we see people clicking on the cellphones, typing on advanced laptops, holding and swiping on their latest touch screen phones and completing many other missions that we can accomplish today. Teenagers are undeniably technology based. If we take a huge step back in time, we would notice many obvious differences. Lethal illness that cannot be remedied at that time can be now cured with the existence of effective medicines. However, behind all these blessings, there is the dark side of it. Teenagers' problems increase as well because they are more exposed to negative auras of the media and the society. Teenagers' problems include gangsterism, bullies, playing truant and the list can go on and on because  outlets of negative and violent information burst out in great numbers. Even the advancements of technology couldn't help in this drastic situation as it will only worsen the condition of teenage problems. Plus, the advancements of technology cannot be stopped as the future of mankind depend on it. Therefore, mankind must depend on nothing but themselves to curb teenagers' problems.

Research has proven that even if parents lock their kids in their own room will still cause teenagers' problems because the anger and disappointment towards their own parents in teenagers may be aroused. Therefore, teenagers should be given monitored freedom to give them long-lasting happiness and protect them from negative auras during their adolescence. To do that, we must start with parents who are the first people that educate and morph them into what they are today . However, we might find that most parents are either ignorant or unknown to their childrens' problems if we take a closer look at modern parenting. Many might think that this is not an enormous problem but in reality, any leak outs may be a disastrous blunder that lead to catastrophic results. For example, parents have the tendency of leaving their children near schools without making sure that their children had entered the school. As a result, this increase the risk of their children getting involved in playing truant. When one of their children was caught, then they will realize what wrongdoings that they had made in the first place and till then, it is already too late. Let's not make the  future remind us about our wrongdoings, now is a perfect time for a change, we can make a difference.

Besides that, i believe almost all of the parents wanted their children to be successful in life. To achieve that, they force their children to study harder and longer hours. I had seen some parents that had gone overboard by forcing their children to tuition everyday, Monday to Sunday, 5 hours a day. What is this torture? Even a fully matured adult will find this "caring" as a form of torture to children. For their children's future, they ruthlessly sacrifice their children's well deserved happy childhood. The worse thing about this torture is children's protest are not even heeded at all. Plus, most children have no courage to inform this torture to anyone else. This also increases students' hatred to study.  This must be avoided by hook or by croak at all times. To those parents that have their children tuition-bounded, try stepping into their shoes and compare your childhood with theirs today. I believe that nothing is alike. Teenagers' in the 1960s and 1970s have very less tuition classes as not many tuition centres are popular at that time. Most of their free time are filled up by playing tradisional games and studying. Today, many traditional games are not seen often. Only ipads and computer games lead the gaming industries. To prevent their children from being more obssessed with these "chronic" games, they used tuition classes as a good yard stick. Plus, they do not need to look after their children too frequently when they are at their tuition centres. Besides school as their "second" home, tuition centres are nowdays most teenagers' "third" home. Through newspapers, we could see many commit suicide cases that are mostly cause by stresses we face everyday. Unfortunately, teenagers are not excluded as they face large amounts of stress through homeworks and studies. How sad it is. Parents must now realize that teenagers' happiness matters most because it cannot be bought by money, it can only be obtained through time and freedom.
