In certain areas of life I am not sure if we are progressing or going backwards. You open up a Newspaper and you get to read all sorts of crimes happening in the world around and it is so disturbing, specially when you read about Children and the Youth....

Today when I open up the Newspaper I get to read about many crimes but this one news has been very disturbing. It is about a girl who commits suicide for the reason that she was slapped in the school. The Girl was 13 years old, It is very shocking to read something like this. For such a small thing how can one decide to end up her life. This very clearly shows how much of tolerance level she had. Now this is not the only incident, every day we get to hear these type of incidents happening in all different forms.

This raises a big question. How are we raising our Children? It is not about this one case but the overall mental health level of the younger generation. Something small happens and they just take off, sometimes they get outrageous or sometimes they just don't have the capacity to deal with it. Even if 10% of our younger generation is moving in this direction it is not good and a clear threat. Children are getting into depression and their stress levels are increasing and this is happening for very petty matters, which clearly shows they are not well equipped to handle the pressures of life.

I have even seen this in the Corporate lives. The demands are more and the commitment towards work is less. Easy lives are expected, they do not like anyone giving them instructions. I worked for an organization with a size of 100000 and the number of grievance cases that used to come from the age group of 24 to 30 was the highest, and it would take us days to make them understand some simple matters.

There are a lot of reasons why they must have grown up in such a capacity but at the end of it all said and done the parents play a major role in their development. So if I have to blame someone then it is clearly the Parents.
Parents get so busy in their own work life that many a times they miss out on these little aspects of their children growing up. I personally feel that till a child is 15 years old, the child needs a constant hand holding. Parents need to be vigilant about their behavior and expressions. While they give their children their space they also need to be equally at a watch.

Intolerance has it's own aspects. It is sometimes good that they have it, but only against wrong things happening and not getting subdued by it, then the intolerance is accepted, but what action is being taken towards the intolerance is more important. While a small group of them are in the weaker category there is a big side of them on the other side who are bold and courageous and going all out to conquer the world. Along with intolerance if they can also have a sense of responsibility then that is the perfect combination for them.

In this particular case of the girl committing suicide, it can be possible that the reason may be something else but the whole idea of committing suicide be it for any reason is not justified.
