Nowadays, due to globalisation and technical novelties, young people face numerous problems. The media report that many teenagers are addicted to drugs while their overworked parents do not realise what their children do. Today, teenagers rarely have any hobbies, they are not interested in sports or art and indifferent to suffering. Apart from that many children are even cruel to animals being influenced by violent scenes they see on TV. It is difficult to find one solution to the problem. One is sure; parents who want to be proud of their children must not neglect them and ought not to let them grow up on their own.
