If I have a son, I'll teach him how to roll up a blunt and spit at people at the age of 2, I don't give a shit.
And then one day a politician will come up, declare and put a age on smoking... and anyone under the age caught smoking will be arrested.
. Plus that would be a disgrace to the guy on your ava
I don't think it's fair to judge parents until you have kids of your own.
I just told you.. "From what i see".
Some parents can abuse that and it just creates hate towards them. A slap would do just fine though
Thats what I meant. ;x Of course I agree some parents do abuse it. But once in a while is pretty fine.
The example you chose to prove your point was a bad one. Religious beliefs are something people tend to be rather passionate about regardless of whether they believe it or not. No atheist would want to be forced to church. Overall i get what youre saying, but its a different scenario for everybody. Some kids dont owe their parents anything.
1. Your a child.... you do as your parent tells you to... Sure when you grow up you can change.. but if your kid you really don't have the authority. Now if its something like "killing" or "drugs" then thats a different story. Whats wrong with church? or temple? those are places for a peaceful community... especially for kids.
2. Of course its a different scenario. But I'm just saying that kids of today need to learn respect. Whether its in school or at home or somewhere else.
The really sad thing is how the following generations will be even more pitiful, assuming that things won't change for the better.
By the way, don't be bias, man. Tell the truth, you're Asian or Indian (not Native American)? Well, I'm sure that you guys have your issues as well.
I'm Samoan/Indian/Mexican.... Raised as a American. Nothing more or less. I got to temple and church. Not that i believe in em.. but cause my parents feel better when i go along with them. Its a family kind of a thing.
Indians: Arrange marriage issues
Chinese Japenese: used to be arrange marriage issues.. but now its just being strict to studies and work.
I don't agree with a lot of your points.
1. Religion should not be enforced on children, they have to learn to think for themselves and make personal choices regarding this matter
2. Children should not be physically abused at a young age because it emotionally damages them. A more appropriate punishment must take place rather than hitting
I agree with your other point though.. too much freedom. Cussing is allowed, going out late is allowed, dressing inappropriately is allowed and so much other f*cked up things.
I remember my mum telling me when I was around 12, "My parents told me our generation was going to be a failure" but look at them now, we have Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and thousands of other brilliant people.
Don't worry, this generation is going to be fine.
1. Then they should not be sent to school. Religion is nothing but school. Kids learn the "Big bang theory".. so there is something wrong with learning about something spiritual? And how is going to church with your parents.. just to show respect to them.. enforcing religion? You can go there and not believe in it..
2. even animals hit their kids ;x. lmao. "hitting" teaches a child whats wrong or not. This "spoiled" generation is really lacking that.
Oh your a old guy. lol. Well sir, my generation puts your generation to shame. There are a whole lot of things my generation does that are just... shameful. Of course our generation has brilliant people in it. But majority wise? lol no. In the direction we are.. its going to be a failure.
Although some of your points are valid,
I don't agree with the "beating" part, because African American/Hispanic/Whites usually use that parenting style.
There's no "downfall", it's only the beginning of a change,
Society is changing, kids are changing, and therefore parenting needs to change.
You can't tell a child "your going to church" and not stress "why" church is so important.
When it comes to raising a kid, you can't use "rigid" parenting, it will not work with today's kids.
For example,
You're constantly told "Respect your elders", BUT, are the elders "respectable"?Do they behave like "elders"?
The world as we know it, is changing at a fast pace, so either you hold on to your "old age values", or "change" your parenting style along with the world.
1. ACtually.. the whole "moving out" thing has been going on for a long time.. but it wasn't at the rate as it is today. And especially not at a young age.
2. You actually can..tell a kid why church is important.. As far as I know.. church is whole lot better then schools (not the teachers , but the surroundings) right now... Spiritual life just teaches peace and etc. Nothing wrong with that. In fact those ideas lead to great men. Once you grow up you start making your own choices of course. And then you tell your parents that you can't do that anymore. But saying, " HELL NAH I'M NOT GOING TO THAT SHITTY PLACE".. now thats just rude...
3. "It will not work on today's kids".. IT WILL WORK, IF PEOPLE TRY.... A parent hits their kid for doing something bad.. the child says something to his/her teacher.. she files a complaint about parent abuse.. ITS BECAUSE THE FREAKING KIDS ARE GETTING SPOILED.
4. If you think the current change is good for the world? Then the United States of America = Place of Terrorism.
And I'm not a parent, a scholar.
I was rather an obedient child...I was also forced to go to church and stuff, and I was obedient, but have become an emotional wreck. So which is better?
You were a great kid to your parents then. I respect you. "Emotional wreck". ahaha I feel you. I used to cry when my dad yelled at me AHAHAHA man old memories. But uh to counter that you just gotta you know tell them not to be mean or w.e
Plus I'm sure your not a kid anymore.
