Recently, I received a complaint from a parent that his child was very open-minded and even a little presumptuous in his interactions with his classmates at school. The parent said his child often drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes and even behaved more excessively with his classmates. He was very worried, because his child was only a middle school student, and he didn't know whether such behavior was appropriate.
The parent's concerns were not unfounded. As a growing stage, middle school students are facing many physical and mental changes and challenges. And an open attitude and behavior can cause them to lose their way in the process, which can have a negative impact.
First, being too open can lead to the emergence of precocious puberty problems in middle school students. When they are exposed to things that are not suitable for their age, they will be exposed to sex, violence and other content too early, which will affect their physical and mental health development. For example, early exposure to sexual knowledge can lead to unhealthy sexual attitudes and incorrect attitudes towards sexualityExposure to violent content can lead to a vicious cycle that can lead to insensitivity.
Second, open-minded behavior can have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of secondary school students. It is obvious that unhealthy behaviors such as smoking and drinking alcohol cause harm to the physical and mental health of adolescents. Smoking may lead to problems such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, etc.;Drinking alcohol can lead to liver damage, brain dysfunction and other risks. These health problems not only pose a threat to the physical health of secondary school students, but also have a negative impact on their learning and social skills.
Finally, openness can also have an impact on the moral outlook of middle school students. Secondary school students are in a critical period of value formation, and they are susceptible to external influences that can deviate from the right moral path. Excessive openness will make middle school students have a vague understanding of moral norms, leading them to easily give up their requirements for social morality and personal morality, and then produce irresponsible and unrighteous behavior.
So, are the current "post-00" middle school students really so open?In my opinion, there are many reasons for this phenomenon.
First of all, changes in the social environment are important factors affecting the openness of middle school students. With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, middle school students are faced with more and more abundant information. The popularity of the Internet and the rise of social networking have made it easier for them to access all kinds of content. These contents include both positive knowledge and information, as well as some bad content. In this information-first era, middle school students are easily guided by the Internet and imitate some open behaviors on the Internet.
Secondly, the influence of family education is also an important reason for the openness of middle school students. Family is the most important growth environment for middle school students, and family education has a crucial impact on the behavior patterns and values of middle school students. Some families may lack the right values and an open-minded attitude towards middle school students. The behaviour and speech of family members also have an impact on the behavioural imitation of secondary school students. For example, if a parent drinks or smokes at home, it is easy for the child to think that this is a normal behavior.
In addition, peer relationships can also have an impact on secondary school students' openness. Secondary school students are in a period of valuing peer relationships, and they tend to socialize with peers and influence each other. If there are open behaviors and bad habits in their circle of peers, it is easy for middle school students to think that it is a fashion or trend, and thus imitate it.
In response to this phenomenon, I believe that families and educational institutions need to strengthen the guidance and education of middle school students, so that they can correctly understand and deal with these problems.
First of all, family education needs to focus on the establishment and communication of parent-child relationship. Parents should maintain good communication with secondary school students, respect their choices and decisions, and understand their needs and confusions. At the same time, parents should also provide appropriate guidance to middle school students, so that they can understand that some behaviors are acceptable and some behaviors are unacceptable, and establish correct values and codes of conduct.
Second, schools need to take responsibility for it. Schools should strengthen the education of middle school students' behavioral norms, so that they can understand the social regulations and moral requirements for behavior. At the same time, schools should also pay attention to the mental health education of middle school students, help them establish a healthy and positive attitude, and enhance their ability to resist malaise.
Finally, society also needs to work together. Not only the family and school, but also the whole society should pay attention to the growth environment of middle school students, and provide a good social environment and campus culture. Society** and online platforms should also strengthen self-discipline, reduce bad guidance for middle school students, and provide them with a positive and healthy information environment.
To sum up, the current "post-00" middle school students are not all so open. Their behaviour and attitudes are diverse and influenced by multiple factors of the environment, education, and society. We need to have a correct understanding of this phenomenon and strengthen guidance and education so that they can grow up healthily and positively. As parents, educators and members of society, we should work together to provide a positive and healthy environment for secondary school students to grow up and create a better future together.
