As I was little, I always hang out with my friends playing outdoor activities, such as tag, freeze tag, hide and seek, but more importantly I never end up staying out later than nine o’clock. I would get ready for bed by that exact time. Which makes me think about kids today, I come to be curious as to why some of them are stubborn doing activities such as staying up late, going out late, doing things their own things, and making a drama scene when they get into an argument with their own parents. Kids today seem to do not care about the family who’s caring and providing for them. This is particularly appearance when kids reach their rebellious age and start arguing with their parents. Alternatively, they just want to do whatever they want …show more content…
They think that other kids can do that, so can them and then it end up one after another kid are looking forward a terrible path. The reasons parents are ain’t letting go outdoors so late because they are worried and secure their child from getting harmed, especially at night because it is dangerous. There is much news out there about sexual harassment or kidnapping, and that is the reason parents don't let you out at night. However, kids in this generation would not understand the worries of their parents. They just do what they want to do. As I was little, my mom would spank me if I kept whining about going outside and hung with friends. She would expect me to be home before nine o’clock, not a second later. On the other hand, kids in this generation are opposite. They would just go, and once their parents called, they would say something like I will be home later, you do not have to worry, even though, it is past midnight. They would not know the emotional feeling of a mother or father. Having fun and hung out with friends are everything on their mind. Also, kids today are staying up so late. They would argue with their parents that they should sleep for work tomorrow, rather stayed and argued with them. They would not know parents are caring for them. Back then, I would be in bed sleeping by nine o’clock. Furthermore, kids should listen to their parents and don’t go out late at night if we do not want our next generation will
Why Schools Should Continue Starting at Eight Despite popular opinion, to be beneficial, schools should continue on their current schedules, and not start later. Starting schools later can have a variety of positive and negative consequences on students. Schools currently are at a time that gives students enough lesson time to learn subjects, but still have time to relax and take part in other activities after school. Many families depend on the time school starts to have easy transportation to school and work. Starting schools later will take away students time to do activities of their choice such as spend time with their families, socialize with others, and participate in extracurricular activities.
How many times has this happened to you; it’s six thirty on a Tuesday morning, your alarm has already gone off twice, your still laying in bed and your bus comes in twenty minutes. This is an everyday occurrence at my house. It is a proven statistic that the average high school student does not get enough sleep. While some experts like Dr. Lee Yanku say “It is not the schools starting time that is the problem as to why students don’t get enough sleep, it is because of facebook, myspace and cell phones” The truth behind it is that we can’t budget sports, homework and extracurricular activities into one day and still get nine hours of sleep. This is hurting student’s academic averages and needs to change. Changing the school time will help boost academic averages among students, and isn’t th...
Unlike old times in which only the eldest obtained the rights and land to curate while the others were just expected to marry well. Every parents’ goal is to get their children to have a better life than what they endured. HOwever, not wanting their children to suffer they spoil and enable their children to the extreme. Thus, children are unprepared for the real world because they had never been exposed to the truth. Parents tend to disregard their children's actions and blame others for their mistakes. For instance, if a child is given a F in class, parents go to the teacher demanding a reason as to why that happened. Versus holding their kid responsible, for they know the rules and requirements that are needed to obtain an A. Parents are forgetting to instill key character traits like discipline and responsibil in order to succeed in life without the help of mommy and daddy. Hence, the generation of teens that complain about everything and are unprepared for a job or college that are essential to them being thriving
Most high school teens and middle school teens don't get enough sleep, you are supposed to have 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep each night. Teachers and other educational people know this but they don't do anything to stop it. It is a scientific fact that teens learn more efficiently when they are well rested. Teenagers won't fall asleep later so they are continually losing sleep. There may be many causes why this is harmful in school relations but it is also dangerous in general, if students are too tired or over powered that can cause some dangerous side effects for example: getting in car accidents, alcohol, and cigarettes just so they can stay up longer.
“These experts have long said that expecting teens to show up to class before 8 a.m. is not good for their health or their report cards” (Associated Press). Schools are starting to start school later for many reasons but the important ones are it’s not good for teen health and grades it affects their grades a lot. Students from various schools are saying that students are falling asleep in class and are missing out on important information they need to do there homework.
According to factslides.com,sleeping less than 7 hours each night reduces your life expectancy. Students are likely to receive better grades and test scores. Can improve students health and will reduce how much they fall asleep in class and complain about being tired. Middle Schools should start after 8:30 because of the positive impacts on students.
They run around and play with toys, run through the woods, and act obnoxious. When I was this age, I was obnoxious to say the least, but as for other characteristics, my parents took special care in smothering out anything that presented itself as ‘dangerous.’ “This type of parenting or smothering rather than mothering, is ineffective and fails to instill virtues and values such as responsibility, courage, self-esteem, self-respect, and confidence in your child” (Overprotective par. 10). I could not run through the woods with other kids, and I could not venture too far away from an older person. As a kid, I always wanted one thing: a trampoline. Almost every one of my friends had a trampoline, except for me, of course. Because a trampoline is made to fling people into the air, my parents, particularly my father, were worried this toy could toss me off and injure me. For this reason, my father strictly forbid our family from owning one, and discouraged me from being on someone else’s. While I see why my parents did not want me to have one of these, I lost a large part of my childhood to their overprotectiveness (I am using the trampoline symbolically as a number of other
Should high schools classes begin later in the day and end later in the day to accommodate students natural sleep clock? Some people may think high school classes should begin later in the day and end later in the day, But me personally I think the high school hours going to sleep early in result of waking up early and leaving school early is fine as it is. I strongly disagree on the fact that high school classes should start late and end late. Personally like really who would want to start school late and leave I know for a fact I don't want to be in school majority of my day. Some Kids that is in high school may have an Occupation that they would need to be able to attend and give 110 percent, Because that was a commitment that they gave there boss But Leaving school late already
who is a psychologist, argues that the reason why teenagers procrastinate so much is because they learn how to at such an early age and are already used to getting away with it without any consequences. He also claims, “Procrastination is partly rooted in early adolescence when active and passive resistance to parental authority empowers young people to begin the separation from childhood somewhere around ages 9 to 13.” (Pickhardt, 2009, pg. 1) What he is saying is that it’s also the parents fault for the reason why teenagers are so prone to procrastinating. He says that when their parents ask them to do something that the kids will say ‘I’ll do it later’ or ‘give me a second’ and never end up doing it, and the parents do not confront them about not following the directions the parents give them (Pickhardt, 2009). In my personal experience, I do this with my parents at least three times a week and at the end of the week my parents end up getting really mad at me and the things I did not do, I have to do all at once before my parents
...ld push to make their adolescent be something they want them to be instead of letting them decide on their own. This reflects largely on me because one day I will become a parent and this study has taught me me to not force your children to do something that you as a parent want. Instead let them decide. Growing up I had a father and mother who still to this day support me on everything I do in life, but when I was at a young age they kind of pushed me towards the football route and I started playing at the age of five and did not finish playing till my Senior year of high school when I broke my leg, but I think over time they realized that I was not going to become a professional athlete and now they tell me to do whatever I want but whatever you do give it your all, but it has always been encouragement to me and I try and give it my all at everything I do in life.
Which will make teens depend on them and never want to leave home. If the teens stay home all day then they will never finish the goal that was once set out to achieve. Many people may have talks with teens regarding popularity, but remember that their brain wants acceptance. When a teen tries to impress someone or their peers ‘made’ them do it it is because they are striving to become popularly. “Reward system is sensitive with approval and disapproval”(Seekers).
When children grow up, parents encourage their children with love and support. Their kids work hard on their work at school and managed to turn in homework on time. It seems that they know how to manage their time between social, school, and volunteering/job life. For me, it is totally opposite from the other children.
...during that time tend to punish their children if they do something wrong instead of listening carefully to what their children have to say or what they are going through. Support from society can also offer to help adolescents during their turbulent time of growth.
Children sometimes feel as if parents are mean and overprotective. Children get mad when their parents do not let them date at a certain age, stay out late, and even wear certain clothes. But parents always have a reason for their actions whether the child may like it or not. An example, one’s parent may have dated at a younger age and ends up pregnant. Parents do not want their children to make the same mistakes as they have done. Another example, everyone wants to wear the latest trending clothes. For women the clothes may be too revealing or makes the child look older than what she is. For men, the clothes may be baggy and not professional. Parents try not to let their children dress a certain way because they care about their children’s appearance. Some parents did not have anyone to tell them how to dress or carry themselves when they were younger. All of this ties in with having
Life is full of obligations even for a child. For example, getting ready for school a child must get dressed, comb their hair, wash their hands, and eat breakfast (be sure it is nutritious and do not waste food by not eating all of it!), and brush their teeth just to go to play. Then afterword a shower and dinnertime, but it is not just that simple. Before they eat, they must sit up straight, wait for everyone else to gather at the table to eat, and then pray. Children are expected to obey so many rules that free time is a necessity, but because parents are so involved in their children's lives and want to keep their free spirits from crumbling and their independence and creativity from washing away, they bring planned activities into the free time which becomes an over abundance of rules. So, when do children nowadays have time to discover and explore what is in their minds and what happened to the “free” in “free time”?
