Nowadays it is very important to be young The tendency to see being young as somethingbetter than being old is a cultural phenomenon But is it always good to be young? And isn't'young' sometimes 'too young'?
When people are young, they are usually energetic and bold: they can work for longer
periods of time and they are ready to take risks As they still haven't had much experience, theydon't have many inhibitions, which means that there aren't many things to stand in their way.Young people have also got potential - they still have time to develop in many different ways.Because of that, employing young people can be a good investment.
On the other hand, being young doesn't automatically mean you're always happy There isa lot of competition in society nowadays, which starts even when you're in school Getting a goodeducation isn't easy and can cost a lot of money.
Trang 3Next, you have to look for a good job In spite of the fact that so many employers preferyoung people, jobs aren't just waiting for you And even if you find one, it is often only for a veryshort period of time
Statistics show that the stress of modern life can sometimes bring young people a lot of
troubles Most of them can cope with problems very well, but some others break down and lose
all hope If we don't want this to happen, something must be done So it is our responsibility tooffer help to those to whom being young is definitely too young

The word ‘grandparents' is descriptive of the unique dual parenting role that this
generation assume It emphasises the vital part they play in family life With a wealth of old worldexperience behind them, and with the unique ability to metamorphose from advisers ormediators into listeners or friends, they can offer support and stability in an ever-changing world The underlying sense of responsibility that goes with this is tremendous Grandparentsperform a balancing act between the needs of their adult children and those of theirgrandchildren This role is varied It is imperial at times, muted at others It goes undergroundwhenever required, but it is solid and absolutely dependable.
Grandparents often bridge the gap between parents and their children Rebellious,
independent children who are trying to find their feet are almost always at loggerheads with their
parents The role of grandparents can be very important provided they act as impartial judges andare able to convey this feeling to both parties Grandchildren, in most cases, prefer to listen to their
grandparents rather than their parents, who often end up finding themselves up against a brick
One important thing, which seems to be missing in the lives of children today, is a sense offamily, values, beliefs and principles This is where the grandparents step in However, instillingbeliefs and values is not as easy as it was fifty or sixty years ago Then, no questions were asked
and there was an implicit sense of trust With changing times and changing outlooks, childrenhave started to question the validity of everything around them Globalisation has eroded their
sense of belonging and weakened identification with their roots Science and technology forcethem to doubt every traditional belief.
Parents, who have so many demands on their time, are perhaps not in the best position toinstil traditional values in their offspring Children are very demanding and grandparents, without
appearing to be pushy, have both the time and the experience to deal with tantrums They can
appease, soothe and impart values with tremendous ease Any nation’s traditional culture is richand varied, but how many children recognise this? Grandparents can teach them to value culturaltraditions and thereby inform their moral development.
