In culture nowadays, children younger and younger are wearing more 'adult' clothes *cough*slutty*cough* (tank tops, mini-mini-skirts, expencive looking jewlery, push up bra's etc.) they are getting everything they want faster (I'm only 21... Me and all my friends had to wait untill 16 or so before we got a mobile phone. I saw a 7 year old crying to their mum to get them their SECOND mobile and while car shopping) and the expectation of people seems to be that children will grow up at their own rate, that because the parents etc. are getting older, they are thinking "oh they are just growing up VERY fast!"
NO. They arn't 'just growing up very fast', they are seeing that all of that sort of thing is kool and awesome, and they want it and don't want to wait. With the lack of boundries set up they GET it.
Now, as they are growing up faster... that must mean their schooling is improving, and as such that generation is going to be SUPER smart and stuff.
once again... NO.
I know, I'm only 21, I'm not old enough to complain about these young'ens yet. But they are REALLY begging for it. I have a friend, 17, doing VCE this year (year 12, the final year of schooling to say "I passed school/highschool" in Victoria.) She is currently doing work I did in year 8. Luckily, she is smart enough to know that she is smarter then that and is disguisted by the stupidity of her class mates aswell (including her teachers) but my point about this paragraph... Children are being taught at a slower rate then previously. They have no expectations of them and are just being idiots.
Bah anyway, my point about all of this crap is to ask a simple question.
Are you disapointed in the way that children are being brought up nowadays?
If you had a child, do you think you would bring them up like all the other parents are doing latley? (as an honest question to yourself, because you don't PLAN to let your kids grow up like that) Or would you go along with children being a secondary if nor 5th level priority in your life throwing money at them to keep them silent and hope that tv/video games/movies/music etc. can do a good enough job?
*wants to add more, like an analogy to parents being pissed off with all of those forms of media in a manner similar to a rich person being angry at a nanny who is doing a poor job... but has already written too much*
