Don’t we deserve some more time from our parents?

We all must have had some mates in our class who pretend to be a goody two shoes along with having the know-it-all attitude. These days the schools have become an absolutely perfect location for teenagers to show their friends how cool they are rather than focusing on what they actually should be doing.

Often referred to as the “yo gang” in their circles, more than half of my class comes under this category. Their main aim is to become popular, no matter even if it is for the wrong reasons. They bunk classes, abuse each other, backbite even teachers, flaunt about their followers on Instagram and the number of exes they’ve got etc..

I find it beyond my comprehension to know what these people get after doing such insane activities. It seems to me that they’ve no idea about the kind of life they’re leading themselves to. My French teacher once said that “your behavior is the reflection of your parents.” And undoubtedly, many working parents hand smartphones to their kids at a very tender age which, as far as I can think, is the major cause of their senseless characters. How can parents be so busy that they don’t have time to check their kids whether they’re falling in a bad company?

I want to request all the parents to spend time with their kids and treat them not as your child but your best buddy. Only then he\she will be able to confide in you his/her problems and aspirations. You should know what’s going on in their life. Keep them away from smartphones and ask them to focus on their career, life and happiness.

There’s no problem in being on Instagram, but once you’ve achieved your goal. However, in student years, these distractions should be restricted as this period is the turning point of their life. They need to be educated first which is crucial and has a great role to play later on. So, the time’s now, because if it’s gone today, it will be gone once and for all.
