As we grow older, we consider getting popular in school rather than focussing on studies. Nerds become the joke of the school and all those who misbehave get all the attention and fame by other students. Smoking and drinking is considered “cool” and students brag about it in school just to show that they are rich and old enough to do all those things and consider it as a source of fame.
Being old means maturing. If these kids are going to smoke and drink and then brag about it or post pictures on social media, then this sort of behaviour does not show maturity. The saddest thing is that either the parents are unaware of these things due to lack of knowledge or are encouraging their kids to do so, feeling as if the kids are mature enough (when they are not) or are either saying that they have no control over their kids, they do as they wish.
In Pakistan, boys of age ten have been spotted riding bikes with their father sitting behind them. They take their young sons to work with them which diverts their minds from studies and are interested in business at an early stage, thus taking no more interest in studies.
Lack of studies results in a low job and eventually, less income to support the family.
Thus, studying is essential. It is the duty of their parents to look after them, stopping them from doing things which are beyond their age limit and giving them the best possible education ever. Children should not be introduced to business at an early age and neither should they be allowed to drive before the age of 18. By doing so, your child will be more focussed towards studies and will most probably ignore those wanna-be-adults-school-boys and will have a different perspective of thinking. A much broader, diverse and beneficial thinking.
The benefits of struggling here refers to the struggle to refrain from from the attractive things, such as drinking, smoking, porn etc, and focussing on studies for a better future.
