What I knew when I was 25, Kids of today know @ 15 only. Today there are more ways to know things that were once called a taboo. Parenting today is much more challenging and needs a different level of relationship with kids.
You need more open discussions on different topics.

- Values vs Goals
- Emotional breakdown
Education

- Spotting your interests
- Preparing your professional life
- Importance of Self Education
Sex education

- Awareness of good touch bad touch
- Love vs lust
Handling Social Media
- How to use social media
- How not to use social media
- Bullying awareness
- Reporting bully
- Handle media with caution
Relationships
- Handling breakups
- Maturity of Relationship

Drugs

Being a friend is more important for open discussions than being a parent.
Keep Thinking!!!
How do we explain kids about a
relationship, sex, and about right/wrong things? With a ton of porn, movies influencing teen love stories, predators, abusers around it becomes, even more, tougher to explain them right/wrong things. How to identify good touch / bad touch.
When you punish an offender, you need to look at the root cause or reason behind such thinking. The wrong portrayal in movies, a lot of porn around influence the kids.
Time to think!!!
