I am all about trying new things. But within certain boundaries e.g. no drugs, etc. And I remind my son that the correct term is not YOLO but YODO (you only die once).
Teenagers nowadays have the YOLO (you only live once) mindset. Therefore they will just anyhow chiong whatever things they wanna try.
Not hard to talk to them, main issue is \"are they able to understand what adults are trying to explain\" -
Here's the main point that Channelnewsasia wrote, about YOLO mindset
\"Our youths today crave memorable and purposeful experiences that emphasise the importance of the journey, instead of being fixated with the destination\"

There’s a true fact we parents encountered on current teenagers & young people
- They are leaning towards Western people mindset
- They don’t really listen to what parents say already
- They are much more outspoken now
- They say things very outright -

It is not that I don’t know about YOLO. I am ok with YOLO (with boundaries) but they also must know that they can only die once so they don’t do anything dangerous.

How old is your son? Teenage years are rebellious years so we need to change our parenting style. -
@ngl,
My son this year will be 16, on national day
Yup, he is rebellious in some ways, obedient in some ways.
Do you know our Singaporean comedian ah gua Kumar ? He told current parents to be friend with their children first, so that children will recipocrate with parents -
ngl,
You have how many children ? How old are they ? -
