Are youngsters today more ignorant than when we were their age? I feel that youngsters nowadays hate it when being told or reminded too many times. I mean, I too went through that phase in my life but somehow we still respect the elders and do as we are told, though not willingly. But this is not the case of youngsters now.
For instance, my own younger siblings. Me, being the elder sister tends to nag at them. Yes, I do agree I sound annoying sometimes but hey, it's for their own good. But when I repeat my request once too many times, I get the annoying look from them or sometimes a deaf ear. It's as if I'm talking to the wall!!! This only angers me more and makes me continue with my nagging. Gosh. Feels like I'm an old grandma now.
But do they know, we worried bout them. Worry that something might happen to them especially if they go out late at night? Society these days are not safe. Unlike those times when we were younger. But do they think of us being worried bout them??? No! They only think we are annoying and trying to stop them from doing things that they like.
Just disappoints me so much to see my younger siblings like this. Coming from an average family, my parents would of course love the help they could get around the house. I asked them why didn't they ask the help of the younger ones, their only reply was , "It's better to do it ourselves. Don't want to bother them." This reply angers me and saddens me at the same time.
Don't get me wrong. My siblings are good kids just that they don't know how to appreciate family yet. They are not young anymore but somehow maybe because they got a better life than when I was younger thus making them taking everything for granted.
My only hope is that they will learn to appreciate people and things around them especially our parents for they won't be here very long with us. One day, they will have to move on and leave us to fend for ourselves. By then, it would be too late to even say sorry to them.
Sigh. What can I do to change them? Any ideas?
