[QUOTE="Abneet, post: 194432, member: 19402"] Sorry If I came too harsh with my words to any Sikh parent reading this. I just want Sikh parents especially those in America to look after their kids. I mean society today is so messed up. And I know there are some very good Sikh parents that teach their kids at a young age and bring him up to a very good path in life. But most Sikh parents even in my community at my Gurdwara they don't realize they need to step up and teach their kids about Gurmukhi and everything so that they don't question it later on. If its too late and a Sikh boy whos in his teenage years doesn't really understand and failed to be taught by his own parents will cut his hair no doubt about it. Now in my case my Dad who is Amritdhari never really taught me much. He didn't do his job. My dad got home at 9 everyday. He had no time but A father is supposed to help his son or daughter get close to Waheguru. A Father is supposed to lead him/her on a path. But in my case I had to figure everything out by myself. I had to read books about Sikhi and do my own learning. I was extremely lucky in my case. I wanted to learn about Sikhi and so I did. What can a Sikh parent say when his child questions his faith and doubts it. It's the parents own fault. Also Sikh parents need to control their emotions and anger. I know I might sound crazy, but this is really common that I've noticed. My parents and other Punjabi parents don't have feelings for their son and daughter when they are in their teenage age. They are so focused on how your education is going? First thing I get asked when I get picked up from school is Oh How did you do on your test? Did you have any tests today? I know this is essential for our parents to be concerned about grades but they should worry about other things in our life. One thing Sikh parents have no clue about is what their kids do on the internet. Enough is said that most Sikh guys are in the pit of lust when it comes to internet surfing. I would love to see the faces of Sikh parents after they know what their children do on the internet. I can't blame it on Sikh parents alone. What are Gurdwaras doing about this. I know many gurdwaras who teach kids, but don't realize there is other things to teach. Gurdwaras are there for us to come and learn. There has to be lessons about what should be avoided and how can one do that such drugs and alcohol and lust. There are many things to be learnt.
