Tales On Thoughts and Feelings Of A Youth (Chapter 14)

I love stories.Hence, let us imagine that I'm holding a blue pen with thousands of my tales and feelings ready to be unfold.Let us begin, shall we?

Chapter 1:Tales on Thoughts and Feelings Of a Youth

It its unfair to generalise people with the same age group as me into 1 category. Well,it is better for me to put it this way: I insert some procrastination while explaining we youth's movements. Born in a city, younger generations were stripped off of choices to make their own decision. Not even learning materials. They laughed when Tom hit Jerry with a baseball bat. They get excited when James Bond performed a cool action to kill his enemies with precise calculations and skills. They whistled along with beats of hard rock songs with rapid head pumping. They adored their favorite movie stars/singers and imitated their clothings and gestures. With an assumption of what was given to them is the truth, they adapted them. For example: X has a brand new Adidas sling bag from the latest season. He started to show off his bag by telling his friends how good the quality is and how worthy to purchase it.X's friends were jealous but then, they praised X for his bag. Y wanted attention too. He bought another branded bag next day to gain others' attention. Hence, the cycles repeats again and again until the entire school was overcrowded with branded bags. Poor thing. In order get rid of the hollowness in their mind, they spend to satisfy their desires. Some even perform certain extreme actions. Teenagers are daring enough to lie in the middle of the highway during midnight just to get a picture. They think they can mark their significance by doing something "extraordinary", even as far as destroying their own body( not to mention drugs and chaotic relationship). Too many versions of philosophy outside and they might as well create theirs. Hence, the dignity of white was stained by bold streaks of many colours. I thought about the "Big Brother" in 1984 by George Orwell. Perhaps, our mind is the "Big Brother".
