my thoughts

  A widespread idea and a frequent statement which is heard nowadays is that the children of the present day are becoming indiscipline, disobedient, rebellious etc and some corrective steps should be taken at the earliest so that the future of these children and the nation can be secured. It is difficult to say whether this is true or not but when many people think that way so it is important to pay attention and do as required. There are a few who do not agree to this and their views are also important and should be paid an equal attention.
