It is quiet difficult being children at the moment, because we are living in a new sort of society where habits have changed so quickly in less than twenty years. Firstly, children do not know behave themselves in our modern lifestyle. In fact, they do not follow the rules as we used to do and, in my opinion, they do not know how to behave in public places or at home, because nobody has taught them the right or wrong way to behave. Furthermore, they do not usually respect the rules at all. Secondly, I believe that we are the main culprits of our children's bad conduct. However, we are getting used to being parents but our hard way of life do not allow us to spend enough time with our daughters or sons. We are always busy, that is all! For that reason, sometimes we feel guilty and give kids all that they want. In the third place, looking after them it is a big problem for us these days, because both, father and mother, work long hours and children stay at their grandparents' houses where they are spoiled. In spite of, children being spoiled and sometimes were being rude, I do not believe that they are bad people; they are only surviving in this awful and modern world. All in all, can you imagine being a child again? I suppose not, but… why not? Perhaps, I would be the naughty and capricious girl that I was never before.  **Yasmina Olivares Betancor. **
