kids are spoilt noawadays. . .
Ever since I started working, I've woken up to cryings from my cousin who is in K2. He cries not because he has nightmares or anything but because he doesn't want to go to school. Doesn't even want to wake up to go to school. He plays dead and whines in his nasal voice. The embarrassing thing is he's a boy. My aunt's maid always has difficulty waking him up. And I, couldn't even be bothered to help out. Unless they reduce the rent by $50 or something. Haha.
You see, when I was young, I still remembered I was kind of looking forward to go to school each day. Not when I'm going for the first time of course. There was the jittery and butterflies in the stomach feeling of course. But other than that, I'm good. And each time I finished combing that side-parting hair of mine(how nostalgic), that was when I knew I was ready to go to school. The sad thing is, sometimes even my aunt can give orders whether her child can go to school or not. Like if he doesn't complete his homework, she just nonchalantly told him that he doesn't have to go to school the next day. What? Kids have annual leave now? I mean is that the way? In my generation, we would always be told to complete our homework. And if its not done, I remembered vividly getting caned or smacked by a belt. It might be painful but in the end I learned from it. Nowadays, simple discplining of children can be a tad difficult. See any cane marks, and people say its abusing. The fact is its not. Its disciplining you dumbshit. I have been caned, smacked, beaten up by their bare hands and even once, with a badminton racket. But I don't blame them now as it was for my own good and made me the person I am today. I get irritated by these kids nowadays. They get everything they want and always get away with things. In school, teachers can't lay a hand, ruler or any form of disciplining tools on them anymore. One touch, and parents will complain. But if teachers can't discipline them, and parents not doing their homework at home, these kids will naturally get carried away with bad influence. And the finger-pointing game begins. So I preach to the community, to the government, to whoever thats involved in this commodity to please don't be confused between disciplining and abusing. Its for everyone's own good. And to parents, please don't pamper your children too much. Hidanilson Out. . . |
