My title would send chills to few parents considering what new youth is up to what they enjoy doing. In recent weeks there had been couple of incidents in otherwise quiet Singapore with teens stabbing two guys.
The first one seems to be a gang war whereas the reasons for second one is still unknown. I would suspect these guys are using kitchen knife's stolen from their mama's kitchen cabinet. What would be the real thrill in piercing someone's body with a knife? There should be something about it that makes people doing it.
Singapore is a very good country in terms of protecting their people and securing a good living environment. These two incidents would have definitely made the intelligent minds in this country think about severe punishments so that there is no repeat occurrences. This is normal in any countries case. This keeps happening everywhere and people think of stringent rules and shocking punishments.
But should we just go for the root cause of it rather than just punishing the foolish youth. I would assume part of it is to blame the parents who might have got less time due to the work demands to educate the children with moral values and to respect peoples life. It is very normal for an adolescent youth to get violent. Most of us must have at least got very violent at home at the very least once. And our parents might have corrected us that time joking between them "he is proving he is in his teens."
There should be proper programs in schools which enhances the moral values of the wards. These programs should attack the shortcomings in parenting and still be able to feed the tough teen kid with words of wisdom from virtues of humble living. Current youth seems to be blind in believing the folks from entertainment. You can see the growth of sales for companies which basically just uses few entertainers for their advertisements. Fashion & Movies which is completely different topic have a good say at these youths way of living. People try to imitate the stars thinking whatever they do is the way of living. Its good in some cases at least there is someone who they obeys or respects in that age which is usually a tough period to pass through mentally.
The competition in the academic world also would be a factor in ruining the sleeps of these young minds. We all understand how tough it is to keep the young minds at bay when it comes to music, movies, fashion & adultery. All these industries has the power to add values to our life but at the same time there are segments within these industries which can completely take us to a different negative world. This affects our mind directly and the comeback from this world to the ordinary humble way of life is impossible in most cases. We need to educate the youth what is best in these segments for their life. Then let them choose the path and if it ever gets wrong will leave it again in the safe hands of Police and governments to correct them.
Diminishing family values and love is another factor which is affecting the growing children. This reaches its prime when the kids are in their teens. The downfall in family values is simply because of the chase for money which everyone in todays world are happy to indulge in. Kids are like clay models which I strongly believe is which can be mould into any forms between age 0 months to 12years. I am no expert in this but these are just my thoughts. Your own research would be appreciated when it comes to your kids. Don't take risk buying my words. Once they get to their teens its totally different story. The gist of it is good parenting cures 50% of the problem and rest can be taken care with the help of good friends and good schooling.
