Values are slowly deteriorating in the children of today's generation.

at some points, there's nothing wrong with children talking to their parents like as if they're talking to their friends. I prefer my kids to act like that to me. why? because by looking at me as a friend they can talk freely about anything without fear, if they have problems or something they want to know; they can straightly go and talk to me. and believe me that's how relationship between me and my kids; we can talk as "friends' talking to each other"

hi, this is true people are changing and they don't have time for family members. The respect is far off we are not finding any such people now . The language they use is also not good they follow the movies and the accent . Good is also shown in the movies but mostly people are more attracted towards bad.

The younger generations are really changed and the values of being a good person is starting to diminish. That's really a sad thing to know, the respect and being honest are not visible anymore.

You said it very rightly Aira ! Values nowadays deteriorated. I don't know if it is because of the outside influences or because of parents itself. Time is so hard that both parents need to work to meet ends . Children then were left to the nanny's or somebody else . Might be that those people whom they left their kids are teaching and showing them negative things . Children learns and adapts things so easily . Parents forgot to check this matter , all they have in mind is to provide the needs of the kids forgetting the most important thing to be fed to the kids , the values. Sometimes blame would fall to the parents because of hard work , busy schedule they can't give ample time to talk , share and to have bonding with them. So children would look this missing thing from peers or from out.No wonder parents will just be amazed their Kids knows now how to answer them , say slang words or have other form of vices. This is dangerous but this is really happening at present, if parents focus too much in augmenting family's income then so many things they will regret in the future. I want to say Childrens' values deteriorated because parenting also is deteriorating. Education never starts outside nor in school but it starts at home . We can't blame technology , because if only parents are around , children would spend less hour in social media wherein they learn a lot. Parents also could watch and regulate kids exposure to media but it is not yet late , parents can do something about it and it would always for the betterment of the kids.

Nowadays, people care more about money instead of education because of the increasing global competition. I am quite sorry to observe that many youngsters do not respect the elders at all. What a pity! How can the socity be developed without the increasing of national qualities? It is urgent to appeal for the emphasis on the values of next generation.

It is true. Some youths are quick to say bad and rude words. Some do not have respect for elders. They tell things in a funny way that one can be embarrassed but as for them, it is just a joke. Time has passed and people change as well. I think it's one of the signs of end times too. Good day!

You're right. Some of our children have good values but most do not. I hope as they grow older, they will eventually learn to respect elders. I hope their parents and their teachers will be strict in training these children to become good. I hope they'll do their best. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

I think media and the environment plays a vital role in our childrens' attitudes....if they have been exposed at some point of not being courteous nor respectable to elders, then, they will be continuing to do it and that they will not change it anymore!

This is the result of modern technology. It seems like the children are already talking to us the way they do when they text. The message is hidden in codes and short-cuts. We the adults should do everything to restore values in our children or else we will soon be living in a dog-eat-dog society.

Like you do, I also noticed that. I am quite blessed with my younger brothers because they still have that respect with me and to our parents. They still have discipline and they obey our parents' rules. But still we can never tell if they will also like that if they are away from us or if they are in the other place. In spite of that, I still care to remind them of good values and not tolerate them to be bad and naughty.

Children now a days more self centered & selfish. With the advancement of society they just do not care for others . However their parents should take the responsibility if teaching them good manners. If wrong practices are ignored from childhood days one cannot be a good human being once he grows up. Professionally one can be successful but the same time goods manners will also be counted to assess him as an individual.

airasheila, Awwww.. this is hurting. Values slowly deteriorating? Actually you are right. I am thinking who is to blame for this. (sorry for the word blame, just lack of better word to use). Whose responsibilit is this? 1. parents, 2. education, 3. peers and 4. media. Parents, because the first learning should be coming from home. And parents are busy working to bring their children to school. Education, the curriculum that's tackles about good conduct was slashed. Peers influenced one another. Media. maybe media can do something about it. but media is highly commercialized too so there will be no more time to post on reminders about this matter. TV and Radio network should earn. again money. so sad indeed.

i'm agree with you...todays generation try to become much more mordern and due to this reason they deteriorated...and also uses some unacceptable type of language...i think todays generation forgot that LANGUAGE is our CHARACTER...they generally don't respect elders so this is big issues our daily life...how resolve from this situation.
