speech
-parents -
Good morning Guest-of-honour and members of the floor. Let me start my speech off by asking a very simple question. Are our parents always right? Everything they say, everything they do.. Are they always right? Well, personally, i do not think that all parents are right all the time. We are all humans, and humans do make mistakes. Personally, i feel that parents nowadays do no understand their children. Most of the time, they seemingly claim that what they do is all for thier children's good. Yes, indeed, it might be good, however, they never thought of how their children feel. They look at things from their own point of view, sometimes neglecting how their children would feel. Results from street surveys n surveys in schools have shown that most students hate their childhood life. Why is this so? Well, there can be afew reasons to it. First, parents are demanding, sometimes too demanding. They expect their children to listen to whatever they say. They might demand their child to do extremely well in studies. As for students who are not academically inclined, parents usually makes sure their child do whatever they command, so as not to go astray. Some times, parents' demands can be very unreasonable, or sometimes even things that can never happen. Another reason might be parents neglecting their children. In a modern society today, most adults work. As competition in the work era is very high, people have to work extra hard so as to keep their jobs. Some parents have to work overtime all the time. When parents are too focused on work, they often do not spend enough time with their children, thus neglecting them. Children might not feel as loved as before and do not like home. All in all, i feel that parents are children's role model. They should shower love, care and concern on their child, and also set a good example for the next generation to follow suit. So, how do we make sure that children do not feel neglected? Well, i would suggest parents to take some time off work and have family outings. This way, the family can bond together and have more time to communicate and understand one another better. Family ties are one of the strongest ties on earth. Parents are important in our lifes. Without our parents, we would not exist. Hope that relationships between parents and their child would improve. Thankyou
