...Good grades are nothing. Seriously, if you raise a kid without garnering respect and kindness, to put it crudely, just dump you as they go on living their glamorous lives. As long as you have these three, they'll be with you through the course of your life.

Well said, grandevou.

... Let me break it down for you - the three things any parent needs to provide to their children.


1. Unconditional love
2. Respect for them which will develop into mutual respect
3. Teach them to be kind, honest and loving individuals.
...

I would like to add to the list;

4. teach the child Gratitude

and wrt point no.2 - Respect cannot be provided by parents, it has to be earned.

Dear parents.


Remember, a child is listening.

I couldn't care less if someone was gay personally. As long as their nice, honest and kind people who contribute to society, they're a million times better than that straight alcoholic gambler who stumbles home each night.

No child is born a bigot. However, as children are impressionable, they learn from the people around them. Perhaps instead of criticizing our generation, parents like yourself need to remember who raised our generation.

As a Singaporean teenager, I have been very thankful to have loving parents, who though are divorced, love me so much and have thought me how to live as an individual.

Good post, Grandevou. If you do not disclose, I can not believe it is from a teenager.


From media, a lot is talking the next generation is being spoil, selfish, blah blah. Now I know there are still wise, independent, critical thinking young (wo)men around. Keep up the good work. :celebrate:

Grandevou, truly, if my toddler grows up to be like you, I’d say well done to me! Right, no need to let your head expand too much, just keep on maturing in the same manner you’ve been doing so far.

Totally totally agree. And will keep in mind.
Thank you for so gently reminding us, grandevou.

I often find middle aged people have a greater tendency to be self-fish and self centered and often narrow-minded than teens...
often self-centeredness in youth occurs more from ignorance than being intentional.
As one get older one has the exerience to show empathy, some instead become cynical and suspicious

Thanks for all the positive comments


Regarding respect. Yep, respect should be earned. What I was trying to get at is that mutual respect is important.

I do agree that there are some teenagers who are rude and selfish, but attitude is not defined by age. Just like how character is not defined by sexuality.
