What is the number one problem with our youth today?

Question

Lack of love and communitcation. We are still living in a society that believe that our youth,should be seen and not heard. Therefore they seek other avenues to express themsevles. ,. To fit in, most of the time they make the wrong choices, due to the lack of guidance and moral support. If You Listen You Will Hear, the cry of the Children of theFuture.

Answer 1

I agree that parents need to listen to their kids, so primarily parents are at fault, however, I also blame society for creating an enviroment that completely lacks social responsibility. No one ever takes responsibility any more for anything. People sue over spilled coffee and every other thing you can imagine. This teaches young people not to be responsible. "It's not my fault" seems to be the mantra today. There are so many social programs with the intention of helping the disadvantaged, but all it teaches is that the governement "owes" you something. I want my children growing up thinking they CAN DO anything, and they shouldn't wait for handouts. A little social responsibility would go a long way!

Answer 2

I disagree. Every generation seems to think that the youth have problems, are disrespectful, and full of angst. I was caught right in the middle of Generation X and when I was in highschool, everyone was so worried about how badly we would survive in adulthood. What happened? We pioneered the tech industry into exponential 2nd generation growth and brought upon the biggest and most successful economy the world has ever seen. The kids will be fine.

Answer 3

Most of their parents are divorced. It is not a natural life to live two differ ant existence with one set of parents and another. The mothers are generally working so they neglect their kids and they don't get to eat nutritious meals cooked by mom. Usually fast food or processed and microwaved. And the biggest is they are not taught a deep inner spiritual life so kids don't know how to seek inner peace. Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada- Gives the purpose and meaning of human life, which most parents haven't a clue and so neither do their kids.

Answer 4

How sad our children are neglected,with no sense of where they are going.My parents would roll over in their graves with the youth of today. There is not an ounce of respect for anyone in this day and age.These children don't respect themselves(they don't know how) so how do we expect them to respect us? The family teachings are no where to found,with the fact these kids are very lazy and uncared for.What to do ,Punish the parents for not caring enough,not taking the time to see how disrespectful their children are,and they don't want to learn.These are our future Doctors,pharmisist,teachers ect. Don't know about you but I;m scared to death of what my grandchildren wil go through because of the drugs,and lack of love for our fellow man. God Bless us all!

Answer 5

that is and easy get away to blame "rap music" or the different social vogue. i think of the reason being the shortcoming of coaching and accountability of our adults. The youths of at present (regardless of if in London or right here interior the US) have no thought-approximately morales or values and their definition of understand is a coloured bandanna or slightly a street nook. wearing the incorrect shade shirt to them interior the incorrect part of city can propose existence or dying on the streets. i'm a mom of three and function compelled college and understand on my babies, they have on no account been in a gang or linked with one. that does no longer propose that they are exempt from gangs, yet I gave the suited understanding i might desire to to them to diminish the probabilities of that happening. If we make an effort to look into the matters an no longer in basic terms on the matters we would have a miles better risk.

Answer 6

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever ... The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasten to the place where he arose ... The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. ... All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

Answer 7

Too much is being done for them.

They are not held responsible for making good things happen in their lives, and they are not held accountable for the bad things they do.

Parents rant and rave at the school system to get grades changed and exceptions made, and hire lawyers to get them second chances in the courts.

The appearance of achievement has become more important than actual achievement. I've seen parents jump through hoops to get their kids into and through IB classes, sports teams and activities so they can go to their college of choice---but then the kid goes to college and has zero coping skills because they never had to stand on their own two feet before.

Answer 8

Why would you ask a question and then answer it yourself?

There's nothing wrong with today's youth anymoreso than there was with yesterday's youth, or the day before that's youth. Every generation is faced with problems that they overcome by themselves, and yet every generation ahead of them seems to feel like they "know what's best."

Answer 9

No. Too many electronic toys, too many flashy, substance-less distractions, and not enough requirement that they get up, get outside and run, jump and play. Childhood obesity and concomitant problems such as diabetes are skyrocketing. Just as critical, kids are not learning to communicate face to face, to share, to plan courses of action and to cooperate. As for love, they're getting too much of it: it is loving parents who mistakenly believe they're giving their children just what they need by buying all these gizmos and gadgets for them. True love would be taking the ipod, the gameboy, the joystick and the cell phone, piling 'em in a heap, and pounding them to bits with a sledgehammer. That, and Mommy learning what a kitchen is for and preparing nutritious, wholesome meals and disallowing Mickey Dee's and Burger Fling meals more often that once a week. H e l l, even Dad can learn to cook - and set a decent example for his son(s). Kids get too d a m n many opportunities to "express themselves". They need to learn to apply themselves! Earn good grades in school, earn a few bucks for their college savings fund plus a sweet after-dinner treat on occasion, and learn courtesy and respect is expected in their dealings with adults. I hear a twelve-year-old boy call his own father "Jim" or "Bill" or "dude" and I want to shake him until his teeth rattle! That's how to handle children and mold them into responsible, respectable adults who live meaningful lives!!!!!
