Today’s Youth

“Today’s youth is very different before” I always hear that dialogue every time that there’s a dinner together with my family, grandparents, and relatives or even if there’s an occasion. It brings headache why we teens sometimes misunderstood. I asked myself why they always compare us of youth before and today.

But today’s youth is creative, easily cope up with things, easily learn, and fond of using new technology. When I was eating there in Panaderia bake shop, I hear the 2 ladies talking about their kids –“my son is very lazy and cannot able to finish his works because of playing online games in computer.” And even me sometimes I cannot able to finish household chores because of texting my friends with my cell phone.

Today’s youth is very independent. They want to stand on their own feet and impetuous teens or hotheaded. Some of the values being practiced by Filipinos before like kissing the hands of elders is slowly fade away. It’s not being practiced by many teens now unlike before.

What do you think is the best thing to do? Is it not good if we will combined the values now and before? Be creative and fond of new technology and at the same time more responsible and respectful.
