What happened?

I visited the newest and most extravagant shopping mall in Bangkok. All around me were Thai youths who were enjoying the things they saw. I looked around with deep sorrow.

These are how I see today's youths:

They are so deep into materialism and consumerism.
They are rude.
They can't distinguish rights from wrongs.
They lack problem-solving skills.
They lack common sense and basic knowledge.
They have no discipline, no manner, nothing!
They are absorbed into violence through computer and video games.
They waste their time and their parents' money on cell phones.
They are precociously sexually active.
They idolize pathetic good-for-nothing role models.
They value wrong things.

...

Worse, they have no clue, and do not care, about their future.

Whose fault is this? Adults', of course. We have no one else to blame but ourselves.

We did not revamp our education system for the sake of our future. Many of our teachers are in a sorry state--morally, mentally, and academically. Many teachers are sexual predators. How do we still let these devils exist in our society?!?

Adults set the worst examples for these kids. We run industries that profit from these kids. Media moguls poison these kids' innocent mind and stuff it with garbage.

As I walk around big shopping malls and department stores, all I see are just teenagers. I can't help feeling sorry for them, for I can see no good future.

Walking away from those kids, I always remind myself how fortunate I am to be single.
