WHEN we talk about the behaviour of our teenagers we should think that why it`s going towards the dark side, because our youth are using abusive language in their discussions.

We should think why abusive words have become common and a part of our vocabulary and our society. Why aren`t parents taking strict action against their wards for abusive behaviour? The most shocking part is that our ministers also use abusive language when they appear on TV talk shows. In my opinion our youth watch these talk shows and then behave in the same manner.

Charity begins at home, and the prime minister should strictly control the ministers` abusive language and then order a character-building work shop to change the behavior of our youth.
