Youths of diverse generations respond
to different situations. They view events and ideas in different perspective
making them mistaken by most people. The youths during the Spanish era were
reserved and less expressive. The culture before was in favor of carefulness
and silent steps while the society now received a more open way of life so, the
youths unlocked their thoughts to numerous ways of implementing the freedom of
expression.
They have authority issues. Most
people who’ve got authority issues would put those in power in pedestal and it
will be hard for them to say no to these figures which are the total opposite
of what our youth have today – they no longer revere their authority.
They tend to engage in early sexual initiations. With our modern day culture telling them it’s
perfectly okay to have sex even before marriage, the youth is misled with their
true understanding of sexuality. Because of higher exposure to sex from the
internet, magazines, TV shows, movies, modern music and other media, the
youth’s curiosity is greatly stimulated. Curiosity plus peer pressure push them
to the edge of actually doing “it”.
They are too obsessed. Youths today are too easily obsessed with everything, not
only material things like gadgets, make-ups, dresses, etc. but also games
(Defense of the Ancient a.k.a. DotA) and TV shows (PBB Teens). They don’t
really care much of other stuff. Their primary concern is themselves, their pleasures, what they want, what satisfy them.
These changes that occurred to the behavior of
the youth should be received for the reason that these diversions are done in
response to the desires of the society. It is not somewhat to be terrified
about. As long as they are controllable and their actions are for the profit of
the other people, it will be valued and respected.
