Increased violence among teenagers

Late in the night at 11pm, while enjoying my piping hot bowl of healthy yong tau foo soup with my girlfriend, a startling conversation pierced through the 'nice ambience' in the food court in Hougang Plaza, which irritated me, those young fkers! ' Na Bei Lah, where you want to go later? ' ' Kan ni na, my parents want me to go home oready ley!' 'Wah, you damn G Y*(words edited due to censorship) one ley, don't like that ley, i treat you cigarette want or not? ' At this point of time which i turned my head over and stared at them, i dropped my jaws as i observed the group carefully, forgetting the half chewed food in my mouth. The group, not older than 14 to 17 years old are smoking, speaking foul languages, and the most important thing, not even at home that late at night? Bad company i supposed. Another situation that i encountered while i'm in the bus. ' That xxx xxxx wah, si bei xia lan in school ley, first day in school bring basketball dowan to share with the seniors, after school he kena beaten up by them' People who don't know how to think. Sigh, obviously, this is actually becoming a common sight these days, with all those milk formulas being churned out by some american laboratories fortified with Vitamins A-Z, its no wonder that kids nowadays are become smarter and know how to defy parents' instructions. This makes me wonder what i am going to do with my kid in future. I need to get some house rules going. I DEFINATELY do not want any of my kids to become like this, like all other good parents, my kids will hopefully be filial to parents, and have good upbringing. As such, these are the house rules i am going to impose when i have kids in future. This is especially effective for kiddos who do not know how to think from 12 to 17 years old. 1. Come home before 11pm at any day. There is no reason why you should stay out this late after school. 2. If needed, provide a valid explaination why you did not go home straight after school finishes at 3pm or 4pm. 3. Tell me about your friends, invite them to our house, let me get to know them. That's what my mom did, so she knows who i'm messing around with. 4. After you graduate with an 'O' level certificate, you need to get a part time job to learn the way of life, learn the hard way, learn how to be tough, be street smart, and know how to manage your money well. 5. Do not throw tantrums at home, we can just speak out minds, free speech is very important, tell me what happened, and i'll give you a solution. You throw tantrums, meaning you can't control your emotions well. Its not fair for you to throw tantrums at me when i've not done anything wrong. 6. Able to speak well and express yourself well at any point of time. I hate people who can't express themselves properly. 7. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, tell me about it, don't hide it from me, just make sure you young little couple don't... don't.... err.. nvm, you'lll do it anyway anyhow... 8. Lastly, No SMOKING WHATSOEVER. Well, so far, these are the key points that should aid in the upbringing of a growing teenager in this cruel society.
