Bending & Blending with Parents Wishes




Who you want to be in future? What is your area of interest? Most of the people might have faced these questions when they were kids. Actually, kids don’t know what to answer this question. However, parents/adults won’t just leave them like that until they get a satisfying answer from their kids. SO, they provide a few answers in objective format; for example, doctor, engineer, etc. After that, they make it a point to continuously brainwash the kid about his future goal. Kids are kids; can’t think or not mature enough at that age. So, they fall in line easily.

Nevertheless, when this kid starts growing and he starts absorbing knowledge from his surroundings, his ideas may change. Now, he does not want to become what he has been dreaming along with his parents so far; because, now he starts to think independently. His goals are different and he wants to achieve them at any cost; with passion, he starts working toward his goal. But, the parents/adults can’t digest this new behavioral change and they start to do emotional blackmail. Although the kid has become adult at this moment, however, emotionally, he is not that strong. SO, he bends to his parents’ wishes and force himself to buy their views. Psychologically, this creates lot of confusion in him.

All these internal and external forces change his behavior. His frustration tries to find new ways to come out of his mind. At this fragile moment, the society starts looking at him from success point of view. Unable to get the success in whatever he is doing/ pursuing and not knowing how to answer his inner self, he becomes a human vestige; he is there but at the same time, he is not there.

Most of the youth across globe are suffering with this kind of trauma. Everyone knows the answer but no one has the guts to go against the wishes of his parents/adults and put his foot down and tell them that this is what he wants to become and he is entirely responsible for the consequences of his own decision.


May God bless the youth of this planet!
