Be honest. Teenagers today look, talks, act and think differently from their parents. This is because every generation is influence by different things. The younger generations today are exposed to far too many outside elements such as the internet, television and magazines where they can receive negative information on a higher scale than what it used to be.
After watching or reading the contents of such materials, they lack enough education in character to decide whether what they've just experienced is something is worth copying or not.
The conference aims to encourage and equip delegates to put up education initiatives and projects on love, sex and life for teenagers within their respective spheres of influence. The information overload and constant exposure to negativity can cause a major impact on the way young people think. We believe that teenagers today lack the character to sift through this deluge of negative influences. We can say that there is no way for teenagers to build their character nowadays.
We can blame partially the education system for putting too much effort on feeding irrelevant information instead of focusing on something he deems much more important-moulding young people's character. The rest o the blame is on parents.
The current education system in most countries emphasises on providing information and facts to young people. If we think hard, it seems to be a better choice to have a young person who knows his manners compared to one who knows which city has the tallest building .
The education systems today are totally different than what it used to be before adding that it's about time that the government looked into their respective education systems to changed it to produce a better generation.
The persistent problems that face societies today can be traced back to lack of education or mal-education of its people. Education in self-discipline and character building appears to be a formidable method in overcoming these problems.
In olden days, the education system focused more on churning out people with impeccable characters where it mattered that the kids knew how to differentiate the right from wrong.
Parents have a lots of things to teach and generally, even if the teenagers hate to admit it, they do follow in the footsteps o their parents.
That's why parents should know how to set a good example for their children. The conference acts as a mode to equip young people with enough strength and intelligence to face life..
