In Search Of Happiness

I skimmed this from a Facebook post. Arghh.. Facebook.

It was written by a teenage girl who is still in high school. It goes like this "Why is that others can have their happiness and I can't (ah, it is not fair?). All I want is to pursue my happiness and I am not allowed to."

No, this was not said by a slave maid chained down and unable to unite with her love outside the high walls of her master's home. This was said by a teenage girl in high school who looked like she has everything she ever needs.

What is wrong with the young generation today? Why are they unhappy and what happiness are they searching for?

Was I behaving like this before? I don't remember. I certainly was not in search of happiness when I was in high school. I was happy enough at that age.

How do you deal with issues like this, if you are the parent?
