When my parents were young, they probably did have as much freedom as we do today. They say that it is not much different and their parents treated them the way they treat us. Of course back in the days, there were things different in many ways like the Socialism, but just because of that, it doesn’t mean that the way the parents raise their kids have to be different. Different parents treat and care for their children in different ways, but overall, in time it has not changed much.

Even though parenting has not changed much, the teenagers’ ways have changed in many ways. Today, the number of kids that do drugs have increase. The number of kids that smoke have increased. Also, the number of kids that drink alcohol have increased. All of these have good explanations. I think it has changes so much because of the new technology and the new ways that humans adapt to. People are always looking for new things and when they find it, it affects them, in bad ways and good ways.

I am happy to be an adolescent, but not that happy that happy to be in this generation. I wish I were a teenager in 2500. Everything would be technologized and easy I think. There would be so much more fun things to do. Being a teenager is not all about games, it is also about learning too, so I think in 2500, the technology will be so advanced, they just put all the information you need into your brain. That is a very bad way to learn things and to improve society, but I wouldn’t have to learn. I would say I am a very lazy person so it would be perfect for me I think. Having that kind of technology will destruct a lot of things and probably make the world a lot worse. What defines my generation is the development of Mongolia. Mongolia, especially Ulaanbaatar has been developing so much in so many ways since kids around my age were born. When I grow up I hope that my generation will be called the Development Boom generation.
