What you see on Indian television about American life is not the complete truth, just like what americans see on television and hear about Indian life is not the complete truth. They think we live chaste lives which "must be so boring" and we think every new york apartment building is a veritable orgy house. Bullshit. <br />Yes. Eighteen is the legal age for consent and to be legally considered an adult. Nonetheless, you cannot do a lot of "adult" things even when you are eighteen. A lot of adult business requires people to be over 21 and then more, but you don't hear about that. <br />If you remember my last comment, I talked about how teenagers sought out any kind of job they could get in order to get away from the boredom of schools. The fast food industry quickly grew to exploit that situation. There are only a few jobs where an 18 year old can be employed and be able to fend for himself....well. My friend Bilal works day and night at his job at our college library, but he barely makes even for his own apartment(shared with 3 others) and food. <br />Again, most American kids aren't thrown out of the house when they turn 18. In the cities, yes there is a sentiment that kids should be able to provide for the family when they're of age, but in the rest of america i.e. not the cities, that community and family bond is still there. Again, emphasis on the 18 year old being able to provide for the family, that is still live in the house and give something back to his parents. Not any different from Indian kids. Except, if we're expected to act as adults at 18 then we also get the full privileges of being an adult (regardless of sex) which means having a car, (provided by mom and dad, insurance we pay), being able to go out of the house without asking permission and being expected to have relationships with other human beings. Some people mistake relationshiop for sex only, but that's a whole different can of worms. <br />Statistics of american kids having sex, are usually taken the same way as in India, and adults are gullible enough to believe them. <br />Nonetheless, young adults in america follow their parents just as well as Indian children, perhaps better. Increasing mobility in american society has perhaps given it a bad name, and sure there are bad communities everywhere in the world. <br />Last thing I want to say is, don't blame the kids. The examples that I'm giving above, is assuming the parents have had a considerable influence on their children's lives (the good kind of influence) taught them the right things and so on. If you teach your daughter the right things in the right way, (and I'm sure you will), you'll see that she'll prove you right. I'm saying this from experience. I never realized how much of an influence my parents were on me until I went to college and started having a life of my own. <br />Sorry for the long post. I've got to get my blog restarted.Ananghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093712350047601404noreply@blogger.com
