Anu,

Last week we got opinions of a 14 yr old on the following questions.Now we will like to get your view on the same:

Do you think teenagers today should show more respect for adults? (teachers, parents etc)

ofcourse, they need to.. why not.. they are guiding the teenagers and so why not respect them... more over the age factor is said because they are elderly, the teachers are one whom i admire.. why do they need to take so much pain and teach us.. when they share things, why not share with them the respect.. that is one gurudakshina in disguise

What do you think about teenagers who dye their hair blue, green, or another crazy colour?

Its their own style... what ever they want they can do... world is changing and so are we... they should take care that their hair doesnot spoil.. thats it... Is umra mein nahin enjoy shenjoy karenge toh kab karenge hum...

Do you think that wearing uniforms to school is a good idea?

Wearing school uniforms brings an uniformity in school.. one child may be financially good and other may be financially weak... now if the other child wears a good dress, then automatically its the tendency to ask for more and feel guilty... so, its better to make it uniformity

What type of punishment did your parents use when you were a teenager?

I was a good girl during my teenage 😳 seriously i didnt make my parents feel ashamed of me doing something... yes, if i dont keep my room clean or something like that, they i used to do push ups 100 times...

At what age should teenagers leave home?

People say that teenagers shld leave home, they will know induviduality, they will be independent etc... but there will be no one to guide them.. i dont think that a teenager should leave home.. if at all then it will be after teenage.. around 20

How do you feel about swearing? Does it matter if teenagers sometimes use bad language?

didi, im confused... swearing meaning taking oath right.. if yes, then its here... Swearing depends upon person to person... If a person makes a swear then he must do it... if not then dont take oath... why take it un necessarily... but we people are allways like this.. take oath and leave it as such in personal life... Teenagers have invented these bad language.. its them who invent these languages... So, how can we stop them from using it... it really matters but then we cannot help it.. its only for fun...

What do you think about rock videos today?

Why not have rock videos.. guys enjoy the maximum 😆😆 let them enjoy it.. but if we see, its girls who tend to spoil the guys.. but nothing can be done here.. its all about money power... money makes these companies to make rock videos... and teenagers feel it really good enjoying those things in rock videos... when they make they enjoy.. and they make because they enjoy.. so, who created it first.. the maker or the person watching it 😉 if its not made once, then how will we know thr is something like this 😉 its all money and only money

What do you think parents can do to help teenagers avoid
depression?

Counselling in disguise.. sit with the teenagers and talk to them how the day was and share with them their own experience of the day... if they are sad, sit with them and first of all make the teenager realise that parents can bring a change to their depression...

Do you believe in anti-depression drugs?

No ways... Its all about how yu come out of depression and not the drugs... some ppl tend to take of over depressions... These make man attracted towards drugs and make them addictive 😡 these drugs shld be banned.. then ppl will tend to start analysing themselves.... thats the best medicine...

Do you think teenagers today have it 'too easy'?

No.. its getting tougher now days.. manage competitive world, manage urself, learn wats life, learn frm mistakes all in one age.. now say is it easy 🤔

Did you have a good relationship with your parents? Why or why not?

Frankly, i dont have.. my parents have never been with me in the childhood.. so, i dont know them frm the beginning.. as age passed by, my parents though tried to bring me close to them i never was able to be close with them... My parents have never sat with me to analyse problems of mine.. they keep discussing one they have... probably this is onething which made me analyse my own problems... thanks to my parents for making me like this as im independent now 👏

Do you think it's a good idea to give teenagers a lot of freedom? (example: come home when you like)

Freedom to an extent... not much... But the teenager must hv the responsibility to keep the faith if the freedom is given... i hv full freedom in my house, i make it a point to keep their faith.. 😊

What can you do to keep your teenager away from drugs and alcohol?

A good company of friends, friendly parents and friendly atmosphere

What is the most important thing a parent can do for a teenager?

Give freedom to an extent and being as a frnd more than as parents...

Why do you think some teenagers do good things and others (in the same family often) do bad things?

😕 its never like that... as mentioned in the earlier question of youth being caring to society, may be that can be applied here...

What can society do to help teenagers who have problems at home?

Start Counselling centres along with pubs.. teenagers go to pubs and enjoy themselves... if u see a teenager behaving in an odd manner then we can always call them for counselling... Or start counselling centres where teenagers feel free to share problems

Do you think that advertising plays an important role in how teenagers think?

Yes they do... I started using lux soap because madhuri dixit was in the add 😛😉

If you could be a teenager again, would you do anything differently?

I have never done anything as a mischief.. may be once go to a pub.. because i ve never been to a pub i would want to go in a teenage and enjoy there with "Its Time to Disco"
