I am totally shocked and confused at what is happening to youngsters nowadays. Look around you and it's most likely you will find young kids, both male and female alike, some as young as 12, behaving in very questionable ways. I have seen for myself young boys, with dyed hair, fringes almost blocking their vision, with piercings all over their faces. The more subdued ones will have just ONE ear stud on their left earlobe. I mean, what's up with the earstud? What's next then? Hairbands (Which, has ALREADY happened)? SKIRTS? Some horrible ones will have studs on their lips, cheaks, tongues, etc etc. Wearing PINK shirts, wearing like the weather is very cold here in Singapore. And of course, puffing away like there is no tomorrow.
This is supposed to be our FUTURE leaders and hope?
Just today itself, i had a good talk with one 16 year old boy whom i met recently in my neighbourhood. Apparently he had some big issues at home and his MSN nick was a very hateful "F^%K oFF!You are not fit to be my mother, disown me if you want!". I met up with him and from him, learnt that he finds his mother very controlling, to the point where he could no longer stand it anymore. His story i could go on and on, but the crux of the matter is this. That he does not feel loved, and that he is not able to have the thing he wants from his parents and that his parents always break their promises to him. Sounds famillier?
I spent the next few hours talking to him and suggesting the various reasons why he might have felt that way and perhaps, things are not what he thought it is. I dun think you want to waste your time reading all that have transpired right? Not that i WANT to type everything out either. But at the end of theday, i do hope that i have somehow managed to help him deal with his anger effectively.
Then after that, another drama. This guy i know long long time ago suddenly called me up. He was celebrating his friend's birthday and needed my help to purchase beer. Why is it that when kids call me up, it's NEVER for anything good?
When i reached there, this is what greeted my eyes. 12 year old girl (this is PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENT, PEOPLE. PRIMARY SCHOOL), and a GIRL, no less. then 2 other 14 year old girls, one 15 year old (B'day boy) and my "friend", the 17 year old.
The birthday boy was relatively mild, but then the rest of the girls had piercings on the lips and tongues... and they like to hit those metal studs on their teeth, making those IRRITATING "tick tick" sounds. And they were drinking BEER and smoking away. ALL of them.
WHAT THE HEEL IS GOING ON HERE PEOPLE?!
I was speachless. Shocked at the sight even.
I could not stand looking at them anymore so i made an excuse to leav and come back home. They even asked me if they could come to my house and slack. My god, i shudder to think what they would do to my place if i did. How many things whould suddenly dissapear from my house.
I'm sorry if i have sounded assumptious, but i'm sorry, If they do not give two hoots about how they behave and act like in public, then they should be prepared for people to treat the with caution and questions their character.
Like i told the 16 year old boy i met at the coffeeshop earlier, Life is always fair.
What you do and act like, you will get the expected reaction back in return.
Really, what HAS this world turned into?
God help us ALL
