singaporean youngsters

Diehard_89 SG

nowdays...i feel that the singapore youngsters (those younger than me lah) cannot take hardships and will always rely on their parents...when i was giving PT to my juniors, most of them reported sick and could not really endure the pain like we did in the past...what's wrong with the young generation...issit because they are too pampered ... or because they are lack of hardship???

by the way, i hope that this is counted as a complain too

hehee yeah i guess as long as u dun feel satisfied abt something, it'll be considered as a complaint in your own right! Wink

well, in the current generation, maids are getting more common and thus kids grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth. of cos not all kids are like that. at the student care centre where i work, the kids there are very independent and diligent. they bathe, eat, wash dishes, do homework, all by themselves. it all depends on the environment they are brought up in.

Embarassed relli? hehehe...thank u thank u...

it doesnt have to be this way.

we are getting too comfortable with our affluence.

not to mention the comfort, protection and pampering in which kids grow up nowadays.

shutthehellup SG

yeh i agree that people need not succumb to the growing convenience that things can be done.

people say they need to spend more time at work becos cost of living is so high in singapore...then they hire maid to take care of kids...it's a vicious cycle i would say.. Rolling Eyes

well, in anyway, i wont blame the youngsters..
i blame their parents, i blame our generations and before.. Mad

its the older generations who set up the education system, and inculcate this system of mindless mugging of books, culture of kiasuism and so on..we who are in the middle are also on the receiving ends, also dont dare to complain or make no effort to change this sorta environment

sthu says it rite, its the environment which makes these kids good or bad..and only the older generations have the capabilty to create or change such an environment, but we didnt change it..so why all this "hate the kids" campaign going on..or labelling them weaklings and so on..and saying " i hate kids" so gleefully..in anyway, we are once kids ourselves, and prolly have been complained against by the even older gens

shutthehellup SG

all of us are born empty and ignorant. only our loved ones and the environment can shape us mah.

well, there's good and bad to it lar...our parents teach us to be kiasu also to protect us from the deceitful and shrewd world out there.

My lecturer once said….....”Its is the parents’ duties to provide and the children’s right to take.” That’s what he think the society has become at least. He quoted an example of one of his friend who has a daughter. His friend would stinge and use an out-dated and semi spoiled mobile phone so that he could buy and brand new one for his daughter. But guess what? After he bought the phone for his daughter, she never wants to pick up his call. Sighhhhhh…...
