How hard can it be?
To sit in one place for atleast half an hour to do your homework.
To be available for lunch and dinner on the dining table with family.
To be sleeping and waking up on time so you dont miss your school bus.
Since forever, we were worried abt my younger brother sitting on computer games for hours together, about his notebooks being incomplete so we dont have to hear his teachers complain, about him eating junk food all the time rather than healthy.
After so many years, now, the worry list has a whole new level!
We are bothered that he hangs out with his friends till 1am, hoping he's not falling in a bad company. We are worried about him trying out stuff which cud be harmful for his health, about his future as for him studying is not even the last thing on his to-do list for the day!! He plays football and has literally fractured the bones in his feet 3 times or may be more!
There is not a single day when he doesnt shock us. His best friend having a girlfriend! Oh my! Look at your age kido! Driving a car without license! Mocking their class teacher! And this list can go on for a bit!
Was it that we were a better batch of kids who respected every word our elders had to say and we still do! Why is it that kids have become so difficult to be in control today. They do what they like, they say what they like, they are just not ready to take any advice!
There is a very thin line between what is right and what is wrong and my brother is not at the age to understand that now, and i really wonder if he ever will! We cant take control over someone else's life because we love them and care for them. All we can do is trust them and pray for them.
Day by day, i see my brother growing up, having more friends than the day before, being more concerned about his facebook than his homework, spending much time on his hair gel than with family. I hope he grows up into a gentleman with good values and principles. Make us proud as we have high hopes on him! After all he's my one and only 15 year old brother!!!
Love you bro!! (despite the fact that you made fun of me last night:( )
