Note To Parents Of My Generation 4

You might not have known but I'm here to let you know that in these times many people seem not to have values. If a random appraisal is taken in our society today, you'll find out that people just seem to follow trend and some individuals have set their value system based on what trends at a particular period of time hence people having different plans and ambitions within approximately 6 months.
What then are values? 

I'll simply state and come from the angle that values is usefulness, importance.

Listening to a lot of individuals talk based on how much I ask questions, I realize that most people don't have what they term as most important or priorities in their lives. They go through life as they see it, no plan, no daring anticipations. Most of these persons are people that either have a family or intend having one and I really get scared for the next generation with humans like this all around. 

Our generation has gone a step farther than our parents, yes. Why? For the mere fact that they don't just wait for white collar jobs. 

We've got mind for business but on the other hand, our parents also got involved with businesses and made money from it too. Where they lagged was in thinking of making it bigger than themselves and their children, making it a brand, etc. They saw getting a B.sc and working in a company as the main goal but at this point in our lives the educational system is so wack that we have illiterate graduates so that's not close to the ultimate like it was then.

Back to the main focus, as parents of the next generation, we need to set different values in place and use that as a bedrock for our children to follow and learn the importance and necessity of having values for themselves.

A scenario of a girl child who doesn't know the value of getting money from decent work might be lured by friends to think that sleeping with an elderly man is a norm since its rampant around her environment. 

If as a parent, an elder sister, aunt, uncle, you acted and sounded this all the time as wrong, she probably would not have listened but what she sees going on everywhere is that act so she might as well join the train. You wouldn't blame her if you never told her or corrected any young one even when you saw it happening around you would you?

Have a value system, prioritize right. The future generation needs you to get it together for yourself so that they can for themselves.

I rest my case
