Teenage problems

Teenage is a group of age between 13 to 19 yrs of boys and girls. Teenage behaviour is a big concern these days. They want to fly like birds in the sky but they are not aware of the actual height. Teenage don’t bother to know about their power and restrictions.

Teenagers are typically at secondary school, early years of college, post school training or in the first few years of work. The teenage years shows the transition from childhood to adulthood.

The children of the teenage group are facing high risk problems these days. I have tried to collect all and mentioned below as:

• Home work pressure
• Bad grades in studies
• Body fitness
• Looks
• Acne
• Clothes, accessories and vehicle
• Teenage menstruation 
• Fighting of parents at home
• Single mother or father after divorce
• Overprotective parents
• Eating disorders
• Getting involved with drugs, cigarette smoking and alcohol
• Fear of no friends
• Crushes
• Boy friend /Girl friend fights and problems
• Leg pulling
• Peer pressure (sex)
• Pregnancy

From the past history it has been reported that nearly twenty percent of teens will experience depression during adulthood; as many as thirty percent of those with teen depression will develop alcoholism problems.

While teen depression is common to both genders, girls are twice as likely to experience and report symptoms of depression as boys their age, possibly a result of social expectations that encourage girls to express their feelings while discouraging boys from showing weakness. It has been estimated that nearly eighty percent of children with teen depression do not receive the necessary treatment. Significant risk factors for teen depression include trauma, loss (parents, friends, and romantic relationships), abuse, family history of depression, family conflict, long-term illness, increasing social stress and dependence, experimentation with alcohol and drugs, and increasing sexual pressure.

Even I have noticed many times teenage boys and girls studying in secondary school and in early college going through with the stage of stress due to various above things. But it is very shocking to get relief from the stress or just as a status symbol to enjoy. Sometimes it becomes boldness of the personality and attitude to attract opposite sex. You can see in the malls , cigarette shop, cafe, food court, parks etc all are surrounded with the teenage smoking, drinking etc.

In the high-tech societies drugs and computer crime are the most obvious items, along with murder and illegal sex, leading to pregnancy, and infanticide. But there are more basic causes behind these results of the depraved teenage life. So rather than debate about the other issues, it is more important to ask what are teenagers doing using computers at all? And what are they doing running around town unsupervised and free to "score" drugs?  

Where do they get the money for drugs anyway? Steal it of course, or sometimes earn it at their job at the fast food restaurant or other types of part time jobs. It serves no educational purpose, and so besides buying drugs, what do teens need money for anyway? What?

Look at the typical teenager you know, perhaps that surly boy across the street, and ask yourself: Does that kid deserve to be listening to pop music at all? Obviously, he or she deserves no free pop music, and with no job, they don't have money to buy Cd's or costly set to play them on. Think about what happens when these minors, who can be as strong and fast as adults, listen to rock music. Their blood boils and they enter into a kind of frenzy. 

In some research, it has been noticed that today's teenage behaviour has increased abortion nation, and unwanted teen mom nation.  It doesn't stop there, of course. 

I am scared of how we will protect our kids from the spoiled air around us. There is a question in our mind "how we nurture our kids will matter?".

But where there is a problem there is a solution always. Therefore now a days many govt and social groups services are available to fight with this problem. Hope to see you again with solution details.

I couldn't find me....

I am nowhere when I searched me.
I looked inside, And peeped outside,
I asked myself where I can be!!
But I am nowhere, Can I find me ?






In blue sky high, in deep down sea,
where there is air, I searched everywhere.
I couldn't find me.
Am I lost or gone,
Or I'm all alone,
Where are my steps,
Or token of regards.
I found none, who abolished thee.



Then she came in with a doubt and said,
Dad, Are you searching me !
I clutched her tight, with triumph in eyes,
I am in you, why I need me.
Yeah, I found you, I woofed with delight.
Yeah I found me.

Ways to childproof your smartphone

 

Now day’s kids are fond of using mobile phones. If I say everyone is fond of using mobile phone then it is correct. We are using mobile phones for various things in our daily life. In the world of smart phones business deals, day-to-day work, communicating, Internet, entertainment, etc can be done on our phones.

Kids are really very smart today like our smart phones.  There favourite pass time is playing with gadgets. Here we have some ways to childproof your smart phones.

If you allow your child to use your smart phone — for games and watching multimedia content — then you need to have some controls in place so as not to give too much access to the apps and personal data on your device.

Below are the ways to childproof your smart phone:

• Windows Phone - In Windows Phone 8, your kid can simply swipe left on the lock-screen to go to the OS's Kid's Corner and can start using the apps that you have pre-approved.

On the home screen, swipe left to the App list, tap Settings > Kid's Corner.

Tap Next. Add the apps you want your child to have access to.

Tap Next > Set password. This will help to prevent your child from accessing your Start screen instead of Kids Corner.

Type a password and Tap 'Done'. Tap 'Finish' to leave setup and open Kid's Corner.

•  Some apps are available to lock the applications on mobile phones. One  of them is : App lock. 
  

• iOS - The Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch can also be configured to be child-friendly with the help of its parental controls.

Tap Settings > General > Restrictions.

Tap 'Enable Restrictions'.

Enter a pass code to enable and configure the parental control. The same code will be required when changing these restrictions or disabling it altogether.

Choose between the built-in apps (Camera, iTunes, in-app purchases, installing deleting apps, etc), content (third-party apps, website access) and functions (account settings, location services, etc) you don't want your child to have access to.

• Android phones -To filter content and prevent purchases on Goggle Play store Launch Goggle Play:  

Tap the Play store icon in the top left corner to open the menu. 

Go to Settings > Content filtering (under User Controls).
Choose the kind of maturity rating that applies to your child - Everyone, Low, High, etc.

Next you will be prompted to enter a PIN, to prevent your kids from changing these settings.                        

Next, under Goggle play settings (steps above), tap 'Require password for purchases' and change it to 'for all purchases' through Goggle Play on this device.

Enter your Goggle ID password to confirm, and tap OK.

• Blackberry 10 - You can also limit your kid's access to certain functions on BB10 devices.

        

Go to Settings > Security and Privacy > Parental Controls.

Enable Parent Controls.

Enable the relevant options — phone calls, text messages, camera, browser, uploads to You Tube, install remove apps, app purchases, etc — to configure how much access your child can have on your Black Berry device.
Enter a pass code to determine anyone from tampering with these controls. Do  not share the PIN with your child.

Almost every kid is using mobile phones very smartly these days. It seems like they have learnt how to use in their Mom's womb. For this behaviour of kids to some extent parents are also responsible.  

Below is the graph showing the report age wise.

We cannot deny the kids, as mobile phones become basic necessity for everyone. Kids are seeing that mobile phones are the nearest thing to everyone. To avoid the situation thought some ideas to childproof our and your phones.

I hope above mentioned, some of the ways will definitely help parent to prevent Kids for using unwanted apps on smart phones.
