A man’s life is normally divided into five main stages namely infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age and as he grows up he have to face several problems in life and take challenges but as he grows older and older his ability to face the world decreases and add on is the negligence from the younger generation, just because their ideas don’t match them, and they always tends to tell the younger slot what to do and what not to. But they never tell you something wrong to do. They just want your bad habits to vanish and good habits to grow.

According to an estimate nearly 40% of senior citizens living with their families are reportedly facing abuse of one kind or another, but only 1 in 6 cases actually comes to light.

As India is becoming more westernised its is in some way or other following the American tradition that in old age parents have to be sent to old age homes as Americans do with their children, its just that after 18 years their children cant live with them.

According to NGOs incidences of elderly couples being forced to sell their houses are very high. Many of them suffer in silence as they fear humiliation or are too scared to speak up.

After a certain age health problems begin to crop up leading to losing control over one’s body. It is then children began to see their parents as burden. What they forget is that they are your parents who have made you what you are today, they have made sacrifices so that you can purchase that car, they wont eat untill you have eaten. Will you forget all of these little things what they did to you.

I think it’s the time we really move forward and help our parents in old age otherwise you never know tomorrow you may be suffering in the old age home, as your children will also tend to do same thing with you.
