Youth of yesteryears celebrate the coming of age at 13 and in many cultures it is still happening. By the way, that means assuming responsibility of a man or woman, accordingly.
Given that context, consider this:
- Youth today are sexually active around 12/13 years old
- More girls, at 15, get pregnant due to their own lifestyle [as opposed to being forced into child marriages]
- Most youth take decisions on abortion without need to get their parent’s approval
- These same youth spend their parent’s money and have no financial cares
These same youth enter the workforce as young adults with such an expansive experience and knowledge of sexual relationships but….
- they have no idea where they are heading in life
- they cannot discern the circumstances to decide the best course of action without being handheld
- they cannot remember the instructions given to them by their supervisors the day before
- they need specific instructions for every action needed
- they cannot withstand corrections at work
- they might think that time is unlimited or cash is unlimited
- they expect an organisation to change its policy or adjust its expectations so that the environment is tuned to their needs
- they expect that all things must be perfect for them to perform well
- they think they are doing the organisation a favour when they work
The list continues but you get the point. Yes, I will annoy many for generalising. Actually they do form a good part of the majority ….
