Reasons why there are out of school youth in the Philippines?
Good Question.. Well there actually lot of reason why too many out of school youth these days.. primary reason might be the government doesn't have effective program and actions about these matters.. as well as education fund should be increase.. our fund i believe is enough.. but the sad thing is some of politician are corrupt.. secondarily is their life status.. some of them, less fortunate cant afford to send their children to school. poverty is very very severe here in phil. and yet if this children did not able to send in school. the cycle will just continue.. hope this helps..
Are modern day youths less diligent than their predecessors?
All I can offer here is firstly point this amazing quote.“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”Socrates (469–399 BC)If this is the feelings of 2500 years ago then I would say that we progress but the general order and energies present remain as always in perfect balance.Secondly, remember that there is alot more about information out there moving much faster than ever before, meaning the amount of information they process is incredibly high each day. Diligence is needed to not be affected by overload or perceived overload.I believe that balance is the key to maintain well-being and support adaptively to maintain oneself in such a constantly changing world.It is difficult to decide weather we are declining in our coping abilities, as on one hand the statistics will show that Youth Mental Health Problems are rising. Yet, on the other hand our awareness of Youth Mental Health issues is much better due to educational programs and research alleing screening measures to become much more accurate thus potentially showing a false rise in Youth Mental Health Issues.The pressure is definately on.
Why do you think today's generation have no regard or respect for the older generation?
I would say the free availability of information, globalization and increasing pace of technology are the prime reasons.Availability of information: We use the internet so much more than our parents and with all the information in the world literally on our fingertips, we feel we are smarter than our parents.What we forget is that the knowledge the older generation has is of more practical nature simply because they are more experienced at life than we are.Globalization: In countries like India, older generation have a more orthodox way of thinking while younger generation are more open as they are more exposed to Western culture. Again this makes the younger generation feel “superior” to the older. While I do agree that being open minded is important, that does not mean one gets the right to be disrespectful to people who do not share the same viewpoint.Increasing pace of technology: It is far more difficult for the older generation to keep up with the increasing pace of technology. Watching them struggle with this, it is not uncommon for the younger generation to again feel “superior” to the older.All above points are purely my opinions and any corrections, comments or suggestions are welcome.Cheers !!
What do you think about the younger generations today?
23What I think is what I felt and what I feel is terribly bad.I live in Roorkee and it has the honor of having an IIT (among the most prominent ones). But, the news from the IIT campus aren’t always good. Like, yesterday, a 21-year old engineering student committed suicide by allegedly hanging him from a ceiling fan at the hostel.It was very bad. I am a son of an IIT-professor who lost one of his jewels yesterday. My father was very disturbed. I have not talked to him past 24 hours and I have started to feel a little restive. It is not a big hawk for you and me, as we have not lost someone that was very dear to us. We are now used to listening about deaths all day long.His parents came all the way from Surat, exhausted after the tiresome journey but that collapse was not reflected on their faces. Their expressions were instead embedded with emotions of a great loss.He didn’t realised that he is a part of a big family. A family that is now repenting for not making him realise this fact. The parents who grappled all life to make their son a pleasant man. It is not the amount of money that they spent that made them cry, but the thought of happy jiffies spent with him. What would a mother feel, when he gets to know that her child, whom she carried all nine months, died for an unexplainable reason?This generation now needs to understand. Even if they are in the toughest of the situations, and have done the greatest of crimes, they should not fear – at least, their parents. They will get slaps, abuses or even will be made to stand out of the house whole night, but no father-mother would ever think of a loss that can never be restored.And here is the worst part. IITians are unaffected. The parents need sympathy and support, and at such a time, the IITians are rejoicing for the Cognizance, the tech-event of IITR. They are excited for how they will click a selfie with Guru Randhawa. No one is anxious about that boy.And my father is quiet.That is sad. This generation should comprehend.
Why are today's young generations so selfish, lazy, ungrateful and taking their parents for granted?
Because they are perfectly normal and healthy.Older generations have called younger generations selfish, lazy and ungrateful since the dawn of mankind.The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."(From a sermon preached by Peter the Hermit in A.D. 1274)"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint".(Hesiod, 8th century BC)They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.(Aristotle)What is wrong with young people today? - A view from the past.
The single dad who stole my youth?
Thanks for the answers. I want to leave for good. When I met the other guy I realized how much I loved my ex, and it was easy to fall back when he started sweet talking to me. I know I love him, but as well it doesnt take much to make me angry, and I almost lose it. I think it has been pushed all the way to the edge and I dont believe in us anymore. He drinks a lot during christmas, turns off the phone, and when he is not with friends he is the the daughter. Then he doesnt answer, and if he does I always hear her shouting for attention and he hengs up. He doesnt return the call. He doesnt initiate the conversations, I call. And he says he needs space. But he doesnt seem to want me to talk to him at all. He got what he needed. He earned money in my dads company, lived of my parents ( food etc included, my mom even gave him pocket money) I said she shouldnt. He proposed when he was living here, but I had to say no. As a student they would not have given any visa to him no matter what.
