21st century prisoners

Canepa 2
For children or teenagers is harder to go to a park or a friend’s house and as result they just
stay home, doing whatever. Stay home all day, sometimes it’s nice to be at home, but every
day makes them feel like they can’t go out, feel like prisoners.
The only way of communication for them is by message or phone calls. As result, they spend
a lot of time texting with friends, and parents get angry, because when they arrive their kids
are at their phones. Except that they weren’t there to talk to them, so they talked to friends,
because parents were busy working to earn money, money which isn’t still enough.
Adults arrive so exhausted and tired from job they don’t pay much attention to children, and
if they do is to correct them, to ask them why are they still inside their room, and what did
they expect if they didn’t let them go out?
At that age, human being is a communicative being, they can’t live without saying someone
how they feel, what they did, how they passed the day, and asking the same questions to
someone else.
This not only affects their social life, but their school performance as the parents must be the
motivation for the children to keep doing what they’re doing right and improve what’s wrong.
If the parents don’t pay this attention there’s a really small possibility for the kids to know
what’s correct. The students start failing, the problems outside school start increasing, and
parents get mad because their children are doing a mess, though they weren’t there to say
what was a mess and what wasn’t in the first time.
They weren’t there. And every child wants their parents to be there. To be there showing
affect, showing them that they are important, celebrating their victories, comforting their
failures and teaching from them. Every child wants someone who expresses that they care
about them, and if its not parents, someone else will be. This someone else, they can’t see in
person, they talk by technology.
