- Following a trait just because "its popular" or "its in fashion" and not because one likes it. What about individuality? What about personal likes & dislikes?
- Using the f* and sh* word In routine talk (what happened to clean language??)
- Using different versions of shortened words while typing, forget the punctuation(I suppose after a decade i will be decoding English text). Creating a different set of hi tech script is a different story, but spoiling a beautiful language/script is another.
- All young girls look similar, as if fresh clones coming out of a factory. Straight hair left open, goggles, dark lipstick, mobile in one hand. What happened to natural beauty & uniqueness???
- And boys are no less. A 'worn out' (literally torn) jeans, some colourful bands in one hand, some funny piece of cloth around the neck or the head (even in summers), some body part piercing, funny unshaved facial hair, overgrown hair (which is hardly clean). Reminds me of the look daily labourers working in farms used to have
- Always trying to be in news. Trying so hard that people post insignificant details of their life on Facebook (most of the time it does not make sense), and guess what the post gets 20-30 'likes'.
- About literature? I should say "If in case they do read" its Either 'Twilight' or 'Sidney Sheldon' or 'Chetan Bhagat' or 'Harry Potter' and whatever which is 'popular'.

Incessant Facebook updates have got to stop! Peoples lives are not that important unless something really important happens. People are not celebrities. Not everything they do, see or worse, think, is that interesting. Nevertheless people continue to seek acknowledgement from total strangers. There are some people who pass around the friendship request in order to increase their Friends count.
ReplyDeleteTeenagers who are alive today were children few years back. And they just didn't become like this out of nowhere. There were major alterations in the Indian Society which was not all that good. Premature exposure of the Indian children to western media without realization of the cultural differences and lack of importance hoarding Indian culture is responsible for the patterns you see today. Behavior roots itself from the experiences. There is a possibility that the responsibility of correcting the wrongs and promoting the goods of the children has been neglected by the parents completely. Promoting the wrong thing or not punishing the wrong thing just in a fear that the child may be traumatized, will lead to far greater damage occurring later in the child's life-which you see manifesting today in the teens.
