Don’t Waste Time on Internet

Now-a-days our young generation is not into sports or studying or reading storybooks or newspapers. Firstly, we need to find out the reason behind this. It’s easy to blame the youth, but we must also check what the elders are doing for them.

Our social and familial bonds are fading away. Parents used to spend a lot of time with children. Now they are too busy to even take care of them. As a result, kids are growing up alone. Parents are providing them with smart phones, tabs so that kids keep busy and don’t disturb them. Eventually children are becoming addicted and their lives are confined to the digital screen. This closed door environment makes them self-centered. Some of them get addicted to more serious crimes. Most of them don’t even know that there are other ways to enjoy life than just the digital screen.

So, we, the seniors, must play our roles properly before holding the youth responsible for decadence. Before amplifying their mistakes, we must correct them. Before punishing them, we must inspire their good deeds. It’s our parents and families who must take the first and foremost step ahead.
