पीयर - प्रेशर

 प्यार भरा नमस्कार दोस्तों ,

'किशोरावस्था की अपनी पोस्ट की दलीलों को ' PEER PRESSURE ' पोस्ट के सहयोग से आगे बढ़ाऊँ और बच्चो के  गलत रास्तो पर जाने की वजह भी स्पष्ट करूं.....ऐसा  मेरे कई पुराने छात्र .....(जो इस बात कोस्वीकार करते हैं कि बहुत हद तक ये ' PEER PRESSURE ' ही था ,जो उनकी छवि को धूमिल कर गया था  और उनके जीवन के कुछ समय को अँधेरे की गर्त में ले गया थ) ने सुझाव दिया ... संजीदगी से इस मुद्दे पर अपनी बात रखना चाहूंगी ....आप भी सोच ईमानदार रखियेगा क्योकि तभी आप अपने समय को ठीक ठीक याद करके वर्तमान परिपेक्ष्य से जुड़ पाएंगे .....

'PEER' मतलब संगी-साथी ...जिनकी हमें हर उम्र में दरकार है ..... देखिये ना तभी तो आजकल बुजुर्गों को  'OLD AGE - HOME ' में संग-साथ और स्वस्थ वातावरण में समय बिताने के लिए भेजा जाता है ....
हाँ तो हम सभी की तरह या शायद सबसे ज्यादा किशोरों को संग-साथ की /दोस्तों की जरूरत है ....क्योकि उम्र के जिस दौर और बदलावों के जिस तूफ़ान से वो गुजर रहे होते हैं , उन्हें तलाश होती है किसी ऐसे की जो उसी अवस्था , स्तिथि या बदलाव का साक्षी हो ...माँ-बाप को वो हमेशा बड़ा मानते हैं , (मसलन एक बार ऐसे ही साधारण रूप से बात करते हुए जब मैंने अपने स्कूल की बातें करते हुए बताया कि हम अपने समय में बर्थडे पार्टी केक शॉप और आइस- क्रीम  खाकर मानते थे ...या मेरी स्कूल की स्कर्ट का रंग हरा था तो मानो मेरा बेटा सोफे से कूद पड़ा ये सोचकर कि उसकी माँ स्कर्ट पहनती थी , आइस  -क्रीम और केक खाती थी  , क्योकि ऐसा तो बस उसके ज़माने में होता है , बेटी को आश्चर्य होता है ये सोचकर कि  माँ को भी पीरियड्स होते थे , बेटे आश्चर्य करते हैं कि  पापा कॉलेज में चुनाव लड़े थे या कि माँ- पापा ने अपनी पसंद से शादी की थी , ये सारी बातें अप्रत्याशित हैं हर किशोर के लिए )  और बड़े बहन - भाई उस अवस्था से निकल कर अपने युवावस्था के दिनों को जीने लगते हैं ....

तो बचा कौन???.... जी हाँ ' साथी / peers  ' ... जो उसको समय देते हैं ,उन बदलावों को समझते हैं , जिनसे ' secrets' शेयर किये जा सकते हैं , जिनका रिएक्शन गुस्से भरा नहीं होता , जो उन्हें समझाइश नहीं देते रहते , जो अपनी भी बात बताते हैं ...पर त्रासदी ये है कि वो हम उम्र हैं और समय तो देतें हैं पर सही सलाह नहीं दे पाते ....कारण  कि वो खुद ही कच्ची , अपरिपक्व और नासमझ उम्र के हैं जिनके पास न अनुभवों की पोटली है , ना ज्ञान का भंडार , ना मुश्किलों से निकलने के उपाय ....बस है तो हर वो काम करने को उकसाने की कला जो वो अपने माँ-बाप या परिवार की कड़ाई , बंदिशों और आदेशो  के कारण नहीं कर सकते और खुद अपने माँ- बाप से त्रस्त हैं.... 

तो बस यही उपाय है कि ये जरूरत घर पर पूरी हो ...बातचीत , स्वस्थ माहौल , बदलावों के प्रति सकारात्मक रुख और दोस्ताना व्यव्हार अपनाकर .....बच्चो में सोच-समझ विकसित की जाये , शिक्षकों से सहयोग लिया जाये और बच्चे को एक व्यक्तित्व समझे नाकि वस्तु  , जो आपके नियंत्रण में रहती है  पूरी तरह ....

किशोरों को साथियों  के नकारात्मक प्रभाव से बाहर निकालने की एक  कोशिश के साथ ...... आज  के लिए बस इतना ही....


अपना ख्याल रखियेगा .....

  1. Apke vichar kafi had tak sahi hain....peer pressure kishorawastha me kafi najuk sthitiyan paida karta hai but kai bar ye kafi acha b hota hai jisse bachon me competition ki bhawana bani rahti hai.
    Old age home ki apki dalil kuch had tak one sided soch wali hai. Mujhe nahi lagta ki india me koi bhi dada dadi ya kisi bhi prakar k oldies kisi old age home me apni pasand se jana chahenge sirf is tuk pe ki waha unko unki umra ke peers milenge....umra ke us daur me unko peers se jada apne bachon ya nati poton se moh hota hai...us waqt umra mayne nahi rakhti 'apno' ka sath mayne rakhta hai.....sending parents to old age home should not be an option altogether, if at all it is then it should be d last option on earth...
    Lastly locality, environment and prevailing culture has a lot of impact on thinking.. it is in connection to the example quoted by you of your son wondering of you in skirts in school days... He would have given the similar reactions had you told him ki apne jamane me to hame school jane k lie pura burka pahan k jana padta tha nahi to ghar se bahar nahi nikalne dia jata tha.....or if we keep the entire setting in a western country and tell him that i used to go to scholl in salwars....he wud hv jumped in d same manner...dats d impact of our society on our thought process....
    Times are changing....now parents are more of friends these days (i know not across the board)....with most of the modern parents following one child only ideology....they are devoting more time with them and naturally developing a different kind of intimacy as compared to what used to be thr 10 or 20 years back...but yes peer pressure still remains and will remain....and there you rightly brought out the role of d parents....teachers and grand parents ( if they are allowed at home as part of d family than glorifying some secluded old age home).

  2. THANKS...no doubt that it causes competition in teens but this article targets the ones who faced the adversity bcz of peer pressure and we usually see the impact of peers on them with negative approach (not always)....quoting old age home example was the reason to support the need of same age group people around who can get us the way we are , and facing the same challenges of life...i didn't mean that our elders want these homes but they are sent there with this argument ... my son didn't get surprise on my dress only but he used to think (or i should say children generally use to think that parents are so old that neither they know the new ways of life , new technologies , new concepts nor they are aware of new fashion and modern ideas or changes ) that i am so old for all these new things of his age ....and most of the time i've seen astonished faces of my students when they share with each-other the earlier life experiences of their parents ....
    No doubt time has and is changing but some natural phenomena are still there if not in a large scale but even they exist.
    It was lovely chatting with you , thanks for your nice views and time ...stay in touch.

    1. PEER' मतलब संगी-साथी ...जिनकी हमें हर उम्र में दरकार है ..... देखिये ना तभी तो आजकल बुजुर्गों को 'OLD AGE - HOME ' में संग-साथ और स्वस्थ वातावरण में समय बिताने के लिए भेजा जाता है .... For me (i may b wrong) and may b for most of your readers these lines directly or indirectly support sending the parents to old age home.... Same age and healthy environment are just excuses for running away from one's responsibility as you brought out in one of your articles.
      The basic structure of society and existence of human being is that we all want to live in a society which has all kinds of people.... believe me we may not realise but thats a fact....imagine yourself living in a society of your age group only....or all women/ men only or any such convenient group...no one can live happily for long in such environment... Our life always look for variety... colours... different shades... different tastes and so on. And that is equally applicable for oldies too. At that age too they cherish a 6 monthsold baby's giggles...a 5 year old grandson asking numerous questions....a 15 years old telling them about his/ her school or friends and so on....this is the basis of a healthy life... A life full of variety and belonging....where as in old age homes what does one get....same age group people most of who have been 'dumped' by their irresponsible son/ daughter......its a monotonous life waiting for an inevitable death... Dats d fact... And by d way this logic of same age group is weird...oldies are all around...they can find d same while being d part of main society..

      Secondly... reactions and anticipations of children is first and foremost dependent on parents....then on environment including internet these days and then on social relations including friend....its right that children always consider their parents 'bada' and may be out dated when it comes to fashion etc..but then this is how one has brought them up....or may be this is what he has seen in the society....here comes the generation gap... Now a days this gap has reduced to quite a bit thanks to technology....and slowly it will reduce further....im sure there will b a day wen you will recite the same skirt story to your grandson...then he will simply say 'ok' ����....
      I hope we are not at a 'word war' situation...in case you feel my views troublesome please let me know... I may stop then.
      Stay healthy
      All d best

  3. Dear anonymous...for me it's really a healthy discussion which is the need of all times..one should not confined with her/ his own personal views abt anything until they have a room of modifications..I do agree with all ur statements...personally I feel that we both r explaining the same thing in different words..and certainly it is not a ' Word - War '... I really find it so good to talk about such sensitive topics...but plz try and understand that I wrote that this excuse of peers group for our elders is given by their children to send them away ...while we all wish a healthy environment at home with all relations of all ages...when the same is not there for teens they move out...plz continue with sharing ideas and thoughts ...I m grateful.
