Where are we today?

It was not under my interest to see what was going on around. But many recent encounters that I had to see and hear made me go to the depth of this incompetent life lived by many, suffered and tolerated in all sense, for the one single word which’s meaning is not yet understood by many of the ones I see. They call it, just LOVE.
Love used to be a divine thing long ago. I still find love as an attractive thing, but what I am going to discuss here is not just my views, but what I have heard and seen all around. And once I account this, you may feel like these are stories heard. Let me tell you one thing. These are not stories. These are realities that happened.
The shocking part is the age group. It varies. It starts from the age of 12-18, and in colleges, goes ahead. The approach is the first step from boys, and sometimes girl, and then they call themselves in a relationship. Fine! Then they say they are in love. Fine again! Then they kiss! Can be avoided for no harm is done except for bad breath and farts. But next is the worst part and to think these are only kids.
There are many kinds in this form. But eventually they end in only one result. Not many relations reach there I say, but how many can be careful as they claim to be? And this carelessness is the factor that leads me to this little article. I am not allowed to state names so I just shall narrate the events, and rest can be assumed.
Even in news we hear how girls are being exploited. But the fact is that girls are being exploited for their ignorance over how they should see themselves, I would say. And boys, well, they would try to get anything for them to get in. Who is wrong is a question I rather ask and not answer. Sincerity is a factor died long ago.
Recently a boy in a school killed himself due to matters affecting his so called love life. And to think he was only 15 to think so deep as a Romeo. This was in news. Also was news about a girl who had gone out with a boy and came back with a swollen belly and many names to the result. She was only 14. What is to be done with such ladies and gentlemen?
The culture in America is kind of different, I know. They have got their own ways of handling sex and relationships. It is their matter. Good things and bad things happen everywhere. But today teenagers see more of bad and get anticipated and excited at the same time over them, with the eagerness to try more over the factor. This is what is referred to as incompetence of the kids.
Love has turned out to be an instrument for practicing sex and nothing less. Recently I met a teacher who mentioned about how students go wrong. The teacher said so about their miserable parents who cry out about their children, taking leave from class together, and go around. Some go behind the auditoriums, while some go to their houses with no one else in there. A camera and a bed, and everything are set for 20 minutes entertainment. The worst part, they are not the only ones to get the clips. Children who have been taken aback as such are many.
Recently in a school a few kids were found to be absent for a couple of days. But when the authorities enquired to their parents, they were shocked to gear that they would also dress up and go to school. The matter was stopped by having some police officers who solved the case. The girls would land at the bus stop where someone else would be waiting for them in a car, who would take them away. What was precious was already lost by then.
In Gujarat, a girl was killed for prostitution. But the fact remained that the one who was killed was actually raped by the ones who killed her. By when the truth was known, it was too late. And in London, a 13 year old became a father. In Pakistan, only the ladies are punished for prostitution, and so in many other Arab nations. Whatever has happened to “Only they who are not sinned shall throw the stone.”?
18 years for girls and 21 for boys was set by the government and the olden sages under the realization that it is at that time that sexual and physical developments come to a better stage for practice. But eagerness draws the children to a rather awkward state as how it is seen around.
Under-aged kids are forced to practice the illicit acts. Sometimes in the name of love, and some other times simply for pleasure. Numerous news and clips are available on such matters and yet everyone is eager to do the wrong alone. Like the wise men say, “Bad is tastier, while good is healthier.”
It is time that we wake up and come to the realization, before it gets too late in any case. Respect for women is to be regained. Childhood is to be returned for kids. Prostitution is to be checked under strict ideals. (I am not against prostitution, for it is actually something going on for many years which even has license. But if it goes off hands, like involving kidnaps and children, then it is serious.) Children have to undergo compulsory sex education and should consult proper psychiatrists to discuss their tensions, the present times being more complicated than earlier. And that’s all I got to say.
P.S. I ain’t into social works. But this is a serious matter of concern which I thought I would share. This is just the beginning though. Probably, next time I post something, it will be a story upon this. See you till then.
