Aaah, to be young and free. Do you remember the days when you were still in school and wished that you could grow up already? But then once you had grown up, you wished you were back in school again.
The thing about growing up is that you now have to be a responsible adult. There’s no more relying on mummy and daddy for pocket money or to pay your accounts. There’s no more thinking that it’s someone else problem, or going through life with no care in the world.
Sadly, there are still some youngsters today who want to be young and free. Now there’s nothing wrong with having a little fun or still enjoying life, but when you’re 24, don’t have a job or aren’t studying and rely on your father to provide you with everything while you sit at home, then you seriously need to rethink your life. Many youngsters are taking the young and free thing too seriously.
They go through life with no care in the world, no ambition or drive and no desire to better themselves. What they do have though is a constant supply of data and name brand clothes. Back in the good old days, you were too afraid to sponge off your parents.
The only thing you got for free from them was a good whacking if you told them you didn’t want to work. Nowadays, the children are more likely to hit their parents if they don’t get their way.
It’s amazing also the excuses they come up with for not working. These include that some of the work required was beneath them, that the money wasn’t a lot and that it was too cold to get up in the mornings, just to go to work. Amazing right? Surely some money is better than no money?
And surely you have to brave the cold or the heat to earn said money. Sadly some of the youngsters today couldn’t be bothered, as long as their parents pay for their stuff, they could care stuff-all about earning it for themselves.
There’s one thing you won’t get sitting at home though and that’s respect. So don’t go around demanding your way if you aren’t prepared to work for it.
