THE lack of discipline among youngsters is worrying. Students in educational institutions do not listen to their teachers, and, more critically, feel proud of such a negative tendency. They show disrespect, hostility and even violence towards their class-fellows just because they think it makes them appear cool in everyone`s eyes.
They go out of their way to pick a fight with their peers in schools and social circles. They act like bullies and feel proud. They become a disruptive force in classrooms, making it tough for the teachers, and, again, they find something to take pride in.
School administrations and parents should act in tandem to somehow find a way to manage this rising and rather frustrating problem. Parental counselling and constant motivation may help youngsters adopt better habits and practise discipline in academic and social life.
