I am a student of age 15+. I have being pinged many times by my parents when i am doing something this is because there is a vast difference in our new generation and have thought differentiation too. We are able to use every feature of technology and are becoming mature more faster than the people of 18th & 19th century that mature slowly.
There is a very bad feeling when my parents ping me, from their point of view they are correct and from mine I am. Like today if a boy is going with a girl the parents always think of wrong feeling about them but they might be friend also or maybe he is drooping her somewhere. This is the time when we have being pinged we feel wrong but are not able to clarify the matter in front of our parents as we have to give them respect and after scolded we cry alone.
Many times children are not allowed to go for a movie or visiting a mall or another place with their friends because parents think he will get into wrong surroundings. Yes they are thinking correct from their side but this is not true to all friends group. It’s OK when they say NO but they also stop us, we feel very unhappy and think that our friend`s will make fun of us about it.
Some parents even don’t allow their children to go out of their home. How they are feeling only they can understand. I am lucky that I have been allowed to move out of house and can have other activities to refresh my mind. Today`s Parents bound their children and stop them from knowing about the growing world.
Today our world has changed this should be accepted by our Parents, bounding their child, which is not a method to develop a child as he/she needs to know all the things in his/her surroundings to be mature. It feels very bad when we give any suggestion and parent ping us and children then doesn’t tell the things that what they do where they go.
Due to parents strict behavior, children go anywhere without asking them and if they are caught then they have to face more boundations and restrictions. Anything can happen at anywhere if parents are not aware where their children is due to their pinging habit then they would be helpless to their children.
Parents should change their views about communication done with their children. Today a children is more frank with his/her friends parents should also try to become a friend with their children . If they will do this children will automatically tell their parents about the things that what he do. Parents should also give their children to speak and give a chance to suggest something. They should feel that they are also a part of their family.
Yes, parents should restrict their children to go to the places that are bad but they will only be able to know when they are friendly to their children and trust me, by this they will listen to you and will follow you.
