Why teens and young adults trade so easily?

[tree nymph]

because parents are too caught up with pushing their kids to excel in all the exams and forgot to instill the important VALUES into their kids?


or parents are too busy making more money and leave the kids to the maids… in a way, the kids are brought up by the maids - how to have time to instill VALUES in their kids?

These teens, they have learnt their lessons the hard way. Hope that they will put this past them and strive for the best from now on!

It seems like a vicious circle and progress does not mean that we actually become better, only faster.

when I read about such youth, I often wonder about their background and upbringing.


do they belong to the majority or geneal youth today? or to the minority that had fallen out of the mainstream.

Society is getting more liberal in general. Conservative values are considered old fashioned and outdated, and parents who try to instill them in their children come under assault from all manners of external parties who seek to undermine their authority.

Cannot help but keep thinking why so gullible, so stupid and where are their morals? Pay you $200 you sleep with a stranger! They are 19 and 20 leh, not 12 or 13yrs old. Are they really so insecure and unsure of themselves?

Morals are taught, modelled and imbibed, children do not automatically have a conscience of their own but learn from their immediate families and surroundings. It is as much an indictment of their parents and society as it is of them.

I would like to think that they are the minority. I do not dare to even venture to think that it's the majority cos that would mean that the majority are that gullible and stupid and lack common sense.

Which is why I say I hope these fellas are the minority. I cannot imagine that so many parents have failed that badly.

Then again, if we keep saying it is parents, and society that led to a child having a loose moral compass then we are giving the kids the greenlight to continue being so without taking responsibility for their own actions. It is never their responsibility or their choice and anything bad or undesirable that happens is always because of one reason or another but never themselves.

Ok. Better stop here.

Shared culpability. Child rearing is a complex business; some nature, some nurture, some internal, some external. I can't help but feel though, that if a girl were brought up in a conservative way, as in not to even get close to a situation where she is alone with a strange man in a hotel room, would this even happen?
