Parents are usually eager to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? Maybe different generations need different of thinking. When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get order, they realize that there are other views. Sometimes parents, especially older ones, can’t keep up with rapid social or technological changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that his parents have narrower views. A student who loves computers may find that his parents don’t really understand or value the digital revolution. Sometimes kids have to find their own ways to what they believe in.
The most important to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, and our peers teach us Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.
