As our parents see us |
How tidy we are |
Quiet tidy, as we perceive ourselves |
We are just not up to the mark! We need to take hygiene classes! And we do not maintain our room with neatness and tidiness. |
The types of clothes we wear |
Fashionable, latest in trend, what makes us look catchy and flashy |
We make ourselves appear fools by following every latest fad. We do not have the true sense of style, which is sober and elegant. |
How courteous we are |
Oh very much! We know how to behave ourselves and we respect all the much we should. To say precisely, we are courteous enough. |
We do not know how to act and behave in front of our elders. We are argumentative and aggressive. We should learn what is mannerism and etiquette. |
How much we study |
Oh well, ya may be not too much according to what elders say. But we do try the much we can, as per our ability. |
We do try but not up to the mark. We need to work more hard and only then we will know what hard work is. Study more and play less to make something out of ourselves. |
How independently are we allowed to express our opinions |
We are not at all allowed to act independently; elders, especially parents, always tell us what to do and what not to do, as if we are kids. We do possess some radical notions, but then we are young blood! |
We do not ask for it, we just take it, and for granted, of course! We do not know what to say when and where. We are blunt and out spoken. |
