What happened to Indian teens?

We recently shifted to Mumbai..We have a big national forest next to our apartment complex...U can easily reach within 5 or 10 mins walk..Morning I won't even keep alarm ..Mostly all pigeons,parrots,monkeys scream very badly in early morning...Even if u close all the windows also,u can't sleep..I never saw such a beautiful butterflies in my life...Even suddenly rain comes ..wow...u can see thousands of butterflies fly within 4 to 5 minutes...This is the only thing I like in Mumbai...

I usually drop kavin by walk only as school is very close by..While coming from school,I can see almost 20 to 30 teenage kids go alone in that forest...Everyday it happens..Mostly I can see only pairs....what's wrong with teenagers?....Now where they landed ?

But I hate Mumbai food joints..eat outs..malls etc...In Mumbai I wondered how Bollywood influence so much in teenagers???..The worst part is each girl thinks she is actress and the way they behave in public is so horrible...One day I saw a girl in the coffee shop...She talked so rubbish in phone with ????...Her father came and called her..She ignored him and sent him..The way they walk almost cat walk,all fake emotions,outfits(even sometime they also feel discomfort in that)...What happened to Indian teenagers?....

And all those coffee shops, restaurants, and malls have made it easier for teenagers to do teenage things without that historically intense parental supervision. Especially the malls has given widespread access to venues for hanging out on their own terms...Boys and girls hang out.They go on dates.They fall in love.They fall out of love.They fall in love again.Teenagers grow accustomed to asserting control over their love lives Which means they push back on traditional parental authority in this realm.

India's social life used to revolve almost exclusively around the home.When we were in our childhood there were almost no restaurants outside the fancy hotels, which meant that most gatherings of friends and family took place in each others’ homes. In this situation, children were never far from the watchful eyes of parents and neighbours.

Times have changed, obviously. As the 800+ Café Coffee Day outlets now open across India...And again India is the biggest cosmetic market for foreign investors..Economic independence in the twenties that builds upon social independence in the teens. So what kind of change will this bring?

India finds itself on the path to Western -style marriage. (And, inevitably, Western -style divorce rates.)
