Life of an Otaku

Nowadays parents wants to close up the gap with their children. I have no objection to that as i find that it is really vital for one's family to be harmony and cheerful. But the way the parents are doing it is what i am concern of. I am referring to my community- The Malay-Muslim community. I can understand why parents want to close the gap between their children as they can no longer their child needs and they need to be closer with them in order for them to help and to learn more about their children's behaviour towards certain stuff and in order to learn some of their stuff. What does not make me happy is that the way the parents are doing it in order to be closer to their children.

I have seen parents dress up as their young ones like tight pants, tight shirts, baggy shirts, earrings, necklace and even worse tattoos for the father. Tight skirts, exposed skin clothes, wear earring up to 5 on their ears, belly buttons and nose and also tattoos for the mother. Is this the right way for a parent to close up the generation gap? It is very wrong in our religion as parents are supposed to be the role models and instead of scolding them for wearing this type of clothes and having tattoos, they encouraged them by following what their children are doing. It is disgusting and funny to see that parents age of 35-50 are wearing what the children are wearing. Are they ashamed of their age and they want to revive their youthfulness by wearing what their children are wearing? I don't think so. For the father, he is the leader of the family and by wearing an earing, he is making himself of not being able to imam his sholat with his family and it is wrong of him as being an imam is a father's reaponsibilty and being an imam, in the eyes of god, you have done a lot of good deeds. Does he want to sacrifice all of these good deeds given by God in order to get close with his son? I think he wants it if he has already done it. It same goes to the male teenagers.

How about mother then? She was suppose to teach gracefulness and politeness to their daughters and sons but instead, the mother encourages their children to use harsh words and to shout like barbarians and lunatics. The mother was also suppose to prevent her daughters from wearing clothes that are too small or too big or too man like. They are girls and should behave as one. That is what a mother suppose to do. Some girls do wear jeans, but in my opinion girls who wear jeans in the correct way are much better in their attitude than those who wear their jeans until can see their inside garments when they are sitting down. Aren't they not embarassed that this allow strangers to see and also rise up the rape crimes in singapore?

Things have really gone hectic especially with the adults and yet they are still blaming us teenagers that we are always creating troubles. Why did Suria did not have a show about parents behaving badly? Why must Suria always concentrate on us teenagers??? To me, parents are the main reason why teenagers are behaving this way. Divorced parents, not caring enough parents, crimed parents are some of those who makes their child to be what they are now. They only want attention from their parents BUT that does not mean that teenagers have to be behaving this way but try to understand and to find an alternative solution in order to grab their parents attention. Not by killing themselves as it is disgusted and wrong in the eyes of god. Try to seek a peaceful solution to solving your problems.
