ADOLESCENCE

Everyone is talking about this short series on Netflix. I can't resist myself and after watching it - it hits hard as a parent. The younger generation are facing so much social pressure which is beyond our understanding. 

PS : Google 

ABOUT THE SERIES: 

It is a series where 13 year old Jammi Miller gets arrested early in the morning from his home. And his act  turns his parents life upside down and is giving us a panic attack as a parent. 

This 4 episode series revolves around the crime investigation of the 13 years old boy. The boy belongs to the middle class family. Jammie Millers stabs her classmate Katie. And the crime investigation started. The police, the lawyer and the psychologist - everyone efforts to find out what was the motive behind the murder? 

REVIEW :

He doesn't have any past or have any worst friend circle. Even his parents raise him with good standards. They are loving parents and do not have any fights inside the house. 

In short where everything around Jimmi was favourable no one can digest that he can do a murder. 

The last episode makes you cry, devastated and introspect. Parents try to give him everything whatever they can. They try to teach him sports, arts and music but he doesn't have any interest because he has been into Social media. And when they said he was always inside his bedroom he was safe. But what he was doing inside the bedroom upto midnight? No one care.

After watching this series, I think we parents should ask a few questions to ourselves.

Are we really busy ?

Do we have any connection with our children?

Do We need to give everything to them ? 

Is it necessary to have a mobile phone at the age of 10 ? 

Are we able to put our butt in their life? 

Can we read our children's minds?

I know we can't pay attention to everything. But I think there should be limits on demands, social media usage. 

Important lessons I learnt from this series are : 

• They want respect.
• They want to listen without judgement.

We often think a girl child is not safe but I was wrong. Even a boy child is also not safe. Our children are not safe outside as well as inside the house too. 

• Only if we know what they are doing? 
• What is going on in their mind? 
• Are they getting bullied in school or even on the playground?
• Are we able to talk with them?

CONCLUSION: 

Adolescence is the stage where they are no more kids and not adults yet. Their major part of the brain is developing. The more chances they will get in the wrong way. It is really necessary to have connections with them. We should talk daily and give them love and respect. Parents should maintain a friendly atmosphere at home where children can share every tiny thing. 

Facing this Adolescence age is very difficult for the parents. But with the right approach we can sail the boat. 

Yes it is possible? What do you think?
