parents and children

love between parents and children should be one of the most beautiful love..
many people mention that parents' love is unconditionally..they love their children without any expection.while on the children's side.from young,we are taught to love and also respect our parents..they are the ones giving us the life to this world.

hmm...those words are the ones come into my mind after i watch the reality show about the family problems in singapore.family problems are main social concerns in here..especially for this little country. the government is trying to emphasize family values. they attempt to promote the importance of these values and illustrate the essence of family bonding.

perhaps for ppl who don't stay or live in spore, they don't know the fact that singapore gangs are quite common and the members are mostly young people, to be specific teenagers. many parents aren't aware that their children are members of gang...in some cases they don't do anything even they are aware of this fact.
some of the parents attempt to put their children in "rehabiliation" centres.
yup..these centres are quite common for singaporean parents. not only those who are involved in drug abuse and similar cases.but also for those are involved in gangs.

but the show i mentioned above told us another story how singaporean parents put their children in the centre becauses they claim that the children can't be controlled anymore...so they go the court to get "personal protection order" and put away the children to be taught about disciplines and stuff.

it's the first time, i heard how the government has to intervene.family violence/domestic abuse perhaps is the more common case. but protection from your own children .. the first time i ever heard...

it makes me to wonder: have family values been forgotten in this modern world??I guess some people have forgotten..these singaporean families are just one example.definitely there are many similar cases that i haven't heard before....

one thing to note: i'm thankful my wonderful parents .. although they are not perfect parents. nevertheless i am grateful for what they have done and given to me during my lifetime..
