A lack of trust among adolescents.

The most astounding observation in the 2021 age appears to be that youth are losing faith in the preceding generation owing to a variety of causes that are creating dangerous relationship troubles for the youth. They also have a lack of trust in their peers. The age peers find it difficult to have healthy ties with their siblings. What, on the other hand, is the thing that elders lack?

It is often noticed that owing to a lack of supervision and basic EQ training, couples plan their child, resulting in a generation of insecure, low EQ children because they are unable to give their child when they are carrying the bags of insecurities.

Parents, in particular, are preoccupied with pursuits that are inappropriate for their child’s upbringing. Either they are utterly ignoring their child or they are attempting to control him or her to an extent that is building frustration and hatred towards their elders.

The most important requirement in today’s fast-paced world is that they want their child to comprehend — what is not explained to him — and behave like a pro in the scenario that he is encountering for the first time after coming out of her mother’s womb.

Parents and even elders in families are accustomed to acting as detectives, haunting the youth by keeping them under strict observation and checking their phones in their absence (rather than with their permission and in front of them), and suddenly disclosing their wrongdoings in front of people they don’t want to be exposed, leaving them with low self-esteem and shatters their confidence.

Shouting at children to make them understand they are doing something wrong is a frequent practice since it not only frighten them but also instills in them a sense of insecurity. They develop the habit of arguing ineffectively.

Another major source of depravity is the availability of electronics and social media, which saps their energies and time while also decreasing their IQ and causing a slew of health problems. Their usage should be on an as-needed basis, not on a regular basis.

Seeing psychic advice in society is frowned upon since many people now connect it with mental illness, therefore if someone wants it, it is typically kept hidden. Most elders don’t even consider it since they are “elders” — who don’t need advice — and are now the “guides” who must be blindly obeyed.

Building trust and close “real-friendship” is the only method to cross the generation divide. Elders must be patient and facilitators rather than imposing their beliefs in order to create balance and harmony in their behavior.

Seeking the counsel of a psychologist and refusing to conform to social norms that were most likely formed by illiteracy common thinking may also be useful. Giving children ample freedom to think about and understand life without imposing their views would enhance their mental health and help them become better citizens, which is the major objective of elders today.
