Whenever one looks at the college going kids, we all have some strange feel about the behavior or change in them as compared with the past of our time. Here we find a kind of delinquencies in them or some peculiarity what the past generation (though observes) however cannot comprehend the reason. The kind of rebelliousness what we observe sometimes, quite disturbing for the people of our kinds who are directly or indirectly involved in teaching and mentoring to them. However, the intensity is somewhat with variations or analysis slightly biased. We do find them to be either in the state of total rebelliousness or absolute surrender (ironically so called education system since times immemorial emphasize on producing “yes sir” creature quite robotic, the lump of flesh without soul). While actuating this discourse I feel deep inside that I might be getting biased and putting all this through my subjective microscope of observation what has gone rut due to my inability to see the contemporary phenomena without transcending myself from the time warp imposed on me. Nevertheless I am trying to believe that the discourse what I am going to set has got a just background.

As the kids going through the adolescence phase can be said to be in the state of utter dilemma or confusion, and subsequently they  just start moving from  the stage where impression so vivacious and deep, towards the stage where they are indulging gradually to a kind of conversation with them, and start ideation. They have just taken the jump from the world of shapes and colors to the world of ideas where everything is struggling to find its meaning. The body is translated in words and sentences, phrases and clauses. They are coming of the zone where the things do exist but in impression not in ideas. Struggle has started for them to separate them from the impression to the ideation.Where they truly find a proper medium to communicate and share though that is hardly available. 

 

Many times we do wander with the approach what kids lead their life. You must have seen that kids accept  things in options rather in description. For them everything is just like their question paper where the answer could be either right or wrong the statement could be either true or false. Everything should be shortened to the very possibility of condensing it in an option only. However that stops them from understanding the wider significance of life rather exploring it. Life is not dealt in option whereas accepting it as something quite metaphysical and mystical in nature would be far better relatively. However, blame shouldn’t be only on one shoulder but should be shared by all of us. The system, the education and our parenting are one of the biggest reasons to think of. 

Especial reason behind this, I believe is parenting of course because the life of an infant start with parents only leading to adolescence and forming major part of their psyche and letting them grow and learn. The worst thing observed here is the approach of parents what provides or build a short of hierarchy and kind of red tape pervades in homes where things are always decided by the parents and they dictate the terms. They only provide two option either you do it or let me tell you how to do it and the worst thing is its underlying tone that there is no possibility of failure. One of the biggest challenge I do see from the parents'side that they never try to communicate with their wards on the same level especially in the places like ours where traditions are followed with all its brutality and stubbornness. Even the best of the people quite matured and progressive do not leave the space or do not have the time for any communication to take place in between them.
