Their creativity and achievement is fan following on Facebook , you tube , monetary success and what not .

Gone are the days when we were made to laze around for hours , do self study , interact with friends of pur colony and family and just play uselessly for hours .

We didn’t know the success or failures of other people till we had achieved adulthood . Parents kept us away from big worldly things and by 21 we were still too young to think of lakhs and crores . We were not aware of worldly affairs but were knowledgeable to know about how to manage life and accounts . We knew how to participate in house hold affairs and go for small shoppings . Studies was not a mad rush but an awakening process . It emphasized on moral values too . Slowly but steadily under parental and family guidance we entered into adulthood and family ways .

There was a whole social structure to cater to our needs and helped us in growing .

Today the reverse has taken place . There is hardly a social structure to help us instead there is emotion less Technology to guide us . We do not have any one to relate to in times of distress and hence we tend to fall prey to peers who guide us wrongly because of their limited knowledge . So what happens is that either the young is guided into bad practices or given wrong advice which also hamper the growth .

Too much of wrong knowledge is disastrous for the youth and they fall into the trap of misfortune.since parents and schools are themselves not prepared to give moral values to children so the end result is that youth falls into the trap of materialistic world and suffers pain and agony . Success, name , fame , money are the in words and gone are the days of caring , sharing and loving . It is time to stop and rethink and work out are value systems to remain at peace and be happy .
