TEENAGERS IN TODAY'S SOCIETY
Teenagers in today's society have a great degree,it is the best and the worst of all worlds.
First, they are born into a society that couldn't be more revolutionary and innovative. They have all these gadgets at their disposal that their parents dream of and their grandparents couldn't even imagine. They have an incredible amount of information to aid their development. They also have opportunities to express themselves, to extend their reach, to discover their potential and to enhance their life quality. Besides the teenagers today appear to be revolting throughout the world.Teenagers today also influences by some bad factors. For example, moral values and graciousness in the past were prominent in most teenagers. However,today these moral values and self-discipline hold by the teenagers are gradually diminishing over the years. This lack of self-discipline and self control is becoming more and more apparent over time. Even the simplest of morals say, respect, care and consideration are fading away over the years. In particular, a simple display of respect like offering the elderly a seat on the bus is being replaced by other violent acts.
Furthermore,teenagers of today tend to lead a modern lifestyle as compared to teenagers in the past.Unlike those days,teenagers are forced to stay inside the house and play all kinds of simple games while teenagers today have variety of choice of games just like computer games.
Finally, teenagers are increasingly operating within a world of their own through technology, especially with the new games they often lacking human warmth and comfort. They occupy a suspicious world where hugs and basic affection come with questions, doubts and caution. Many of them go through each day missing out on a simple cuddle, a word of praise, a hug, an affirmation of how wonderful they are and without understanding, affection and value. Without the extended family of friends and neighbours who used to affirm us and look after us, many youth now feel isolated, independent and unloved. This increases the deviant tendency among them as many struggle to deal with their anger and pain.
As a whole teenagers today live in a remarkable world compared to the pastyear.
