Problems of teenagers
Rahat, a teenager, has become a drug addict after the separation of his parents. He left his college and mixed with bad fellows and has started taking different types of intoxicants. Rahat's mother has become anxious about his condition but finds no way to take him out of this. Another boy from an aristocratic family has developed relationship with a woman who is older than him. This has become an acute problem in many families. The c problem is worse in the aristocratic and lower class families, rather than in any middle class family. Teenage girls face the same kind of problems. The psychologists have noticed that the age between 13 to 22 is a very critical period in a person's life because most of the mental and physical changes occur during this period. The malicious attributes can easily influence them. Their parents pursue them to give up addiction and they fail to do that. Their fortunes are nipped in the bud. The factors behind the problems of the teenagers are :(1) Too much mental pressure and rules and regulations that have been imposed by the parents, (2) Mental and physical changes (3) Negligence of the parents, (4) The confused and curious ideas about sex, (5) Lack of family bond and religious values, (6) Influence of Western culture and so on. Parents have to take the most important responsibility to save them from this kind of moral degradation. They have to make their children aware about their future. Life is only one, so if a person has done anything wrong , there is no way to amend the fault by returning back to the past. So, the teenagers have to be cautious when they take a step. Parents must make their children's life more enjoyable and panic-free. They must be friendly and expressive and they must talk with their children openly about their problems. They must teach their children about moral and religious values and also about our culture.
It is a good effort, or we can say a good step of the government, that they have added a new subject in the education curriculum about this time in a youngster's life. Youths are our future. So, if we do not take care of them, they will get lost. Parents have to bring the examples of the great people in front of them as models.
