Plight Of Millennials

Image
  Plight of Millennials We are the Millennials—that’s what my son emphasized today, who is Gen Z. So, what is that? The dictionary or Google meaning, indeed, is just some text. But the psychological meaning of my millennial generation is something vast. I feel we are caught between the Boomers (our parents' generation) and Gen Z. The Boomers inherited the freedom struggle, 100 years of British exploitation, partition, and wars. They didn’t face a survival crisis, but they faced the burden and expectations of seniors to work for family honor, religion, culture, and a better standard of living. The same elements were passed on to us as Millennials. India in the 1980s was with its doors closed, living in the cocoon of its own culture on this planet—deliberately or timidly trying to stay away from the rest of the world. What is different is unacceptable; that was the thought process until someone somewhere opened the doors of economic liberalization. Technology was brought in, choices ...

Unnatural expectations of parents from their children in exams

    Unnatural expectations of parents from their children in exams   During the exam season in India, parents often pressure their children to achieve high marks in subjects they may not even be interested in or plan to pursue further. This places immense stress on students, who work diligently for weeks on end. When the exam results are finally revealed, various scenarios can unfold. First, there are students who work exceptionally hard, become the top scorers in their class, and succeed in impressing their parents. Secondly, there are students who do not achieve high scores, leading their parents to accuse them of not studying or practicing enough.  Parents often assume that their children did not take the exams seriously or that their understanding of the subject matter is questionable. In such situations, only the student and those who have witnessed the teenager's rigorous study efforts can truly appreciate the extent of their dedication to achieving respectable...

Advantages of not keeping your room clean

Image
  Introduction We have all heard our parents, especially our mothers, tell us to clean our rooms. Even though, from our perspective, our room is the best place in the world to be, our mothers come into our room and magically find something to complain about. According to our parents, having a messy room is a bad habit and can have negative effects on us later in life. They simply don't know about boys' hostel rooms. If they saw one, I'm sure they would be shocked.   And now comes the cleaning of our rooms during our holidays. They would tell us to clean spots that we would never even touch in our whole lives in our room. Anyways, cleaning our room has always been a sort of hell for us teenagers because children listen and obey everything their parents say to them. We'll leave the case for adults because adults are adults after all, and they are not meant to listen to anyone. That leaves us with teenagers who are offended and aggravated by anyone who says anything positi...

Educational Jungle

Image
  INTRODUCTION I am currently in 9th grade, studying in the Indian educational system, which is infamous for its flaws and perceived inferiority compared to educational systems in other parts of the world. Some unemployed individuals, who lack resourceful and constructive engagements, spread fake news and offer clichéd comments on what students should do after entering high school, particularly in relation to the 10th grade board exams, which are a primary concern for Indian students. These exams are often considered their first nightmare, followed by any kind of entrance exam, and the third being finding a job. THE SOCIETY One of the main problems in Indian society is the pressure placed on students to forget having fun and instead focus solely on rigorous and seemingly pointless studying to achieve mere marks in class tests. This pressure stems from parents who seek to boast about their child's performance to other parents who may be more lenient towards their own children. These...
