The youth of today is very different from how it was in the old days in many ways, since there are emotional, physical and sentimental differences.
In my opinion, there is a big difference between the youth of the past and the youth of today, and I will tell you why.
YOUTH OF YESTERYEAR
In the youth of the past there was not so much danger, there was not so much this issue of drugs, alcoholism or simply what is in women pregnancies at an early age, but there was a fun to some extent healthier than it is now.
Before one could go out on the street with friends and talk, and obviously there was crime and things like that but it was not as much as it is now that when you go out on the street you have to be aware of everything in order to take care of yourself, before you had more freedom to do the things you wanted or express yourself and there was not so much this issue of bullying that there is today but everyone or most of them got along well with each other, I can not say that everything was peace and love because obviously before there were also problems, there were also young rebels, but it was not something that was seen at all times.
The types of music they listened to was very different from what you hear nowadays, it varied a lot of genres and I will name some of them
JAZZ
BLUES
ROCK AND ROLL
SOUL
These are just some of the types of music they used to listen to, there is a huge variety but if I start naming them I will never finish haha.
CLOTHING
Another thing that also differentiates the times of each young person is the clothing since before there were not the types of clothes that there are now and that young men and women use since there was a fashion and a much more normal style, I am not saying that the clothes of now are not normal but there is a very big difference between the types of designs for example, the pants of before were used most of the time long or mostly women used dresses, men if it was something normal to see them with their long jean, and now you go to the street and find many girls dressed in super short pants, sweaters before were quite nice and I say this because from time to time I also used clothes like those times, there were long sleeve sweaters or turtlenecks, but as with the pants now you go to the street and see women or girls with a sweater that you can see all the arms or belly.
I'll tell you a couple of fashions that the youth used to follow.
HEAVY
PUNK
ROCKERS
HIPPIES
These are just some of the fashions they followed before, many of them are considered a bit extreme but there are others which are much nicer.
Another topic about the youth that we can touch on would be education, since the education that existed at that time was based on teaching children and teenagers about subjects a little more interesting than what they teach now, now in a school they give you a Spanish class in a country where they speak that language, so what is the need to be taught your own language in a school? it doesn't make sense.
Mathematics is a bit useful since one needs to know numbers to be able to manage the economy or something like that but why do we need to know Roman numerals, not a big question.
Being in school I realize that many times teachers only want to teach fast to get out of the way, of course there are teachers who like their job and do it very well but there are some very bitter ones, and all this affects young people and children, because how will they learn in an environment where they do not feel welcome? We are always told that school is our second home, but why don't we feel comfortable in our "HOME", or why don't we like being there, because as in every place we go there are bad people and good people.
Leaving aside the subject of teachers, let's also talk about the mentality of each young person and their behavior.
There are two kinds of young people, the educated and the rebellious, and here I explain each one.
EDUCATED YOUNG PEOPLE
There are many educated young people who are respectful and like to do good things, read, study, undertake and support their families in every way, they like to be with them, spend time with them and never think of leaving them alone because they know that it is the only thing they have and the only thing that will always be with them.
Many young people today are blameless! Obviously we all make mistakes because no one is perfect but if you can distinguish between when someone is a good person to when it is someone who is not walking in good ways, and in youth you are more noticeable because of their behavior and mood swings.
REBELLIOUS YOUTH
Now let's talk about rebellious youth.
In the old days you didn't see much rebelliousness in young people, but rather you could say that they liked to spend time with their friends, go out and relax.
I am not saying that in the past young people were angels, nor that they were the best, but to a certain extent they behaved much better, they did not hit their parents, they did not yell at them or make bad faces at them, there was much more respect than there is now towards the elders, we all wish that this had not changed, But unfortunately this is not so, the youth of today has changed a lot, now we see much more separation from the family, rebellion in young people and adolescents, early pregnancies, alcoholism and drugs in young people ... What an unexpected turn has given the world, right? .
YOUTH HEALTH
The topic of youth health is also very important to touch on because lately we are seeing a lot of depression in young people and suicide is also something very painful because many teenagers end their lives at a very young age simply because of something they were told or family problems.
Before this was not very noticeable, there were not so many suicides but for some time now the number of suicides in adolescents has increased dramatically and this is something that many of us would like to change because if in the world all teenagers have the decision to commit suicide, what would the future of the planet be like?
FOOD
Today's food is a danger because young people prefer to eat a hamburger or french fries rather than eat vegetables and fruits, although there are many young people today who like to eat healthy, but there are also some who eat very unhealthy things that harm their body, the number of obese children and adolescents today is brutal, It is something impressive that was not seen before, before most people were skinny and ate very healthy, obviously there were obese or fat people but not like now, now you see programs on television and see these people with obesity problems and many children too, to me personally I feel very sorry to know that for some malfunction of his heart could end his life.
The subject of youth is very extensive but here I only show you the most common and worrying ones, let's hope that in a while things don't get worse.
Greetings!
