Parent - Teen Perils
The clash between the ideologies of teenagers and parents is a daily sight in most homes. There are many books and articles out there trying to tell what is wrong between their relationship and how to set it right. The main problem occurs in the way in which they think. The segment of life which causes a clash most number of times is the segment of career. Children have a completely different approach to career compared to adults. Teenagers aspire to settle in a job which makes them feel happy and satisfied. They want to work in an environment and in a profession in which they have interest and talent. They try to tell this to their parents but they usually don't succeed. Parents on the other hand want children to practice a profession which is tried and tested. They want them to take the same path that is being taken by all others. The interests of the teenager seem to be immaterial to them and the only thing they think about is about the pay packets that their children would get. It is not a bad thing to want their children to become rich and prosper, but they should also understand their child's interests and try to work out a suitable solution. Parent soften consider the ideology of their kids to be pretty premature and don't even want to listen to what they want to say properly. They only want them to listen to what they say and just join in the said course. They don't want to consider what a burden such a course might be for the student. This has to be one of the chief causes for the high suicide rate in our country. More teenagers in our country are dying of suicide than from diseases. It is high time that parents start thinking of not only the prosperity of the students but also of their interests and capabilities. This might result in a better country where there would be high quality engineers and doctors and artists. It gives rise to a more useful and dependable human resource as the people would be doing what they like best. This would be the real answer to unemployment and job layoffs. Continuing in the same fashion would do no good to the society and would actually degrade it and push us backward in development. Let’s hope parents would start understanding their kids and let them prosper in their own fields.
