We, the youth, we have our own philosophies and way of behaving. That does not mean that we do not feel concerned about our religion - that we dont care about our society/parents! The fact is that, many a time, our parents prove to be conservative. They just dont want to go out of it. In such cases, does it mean that we the youth, we are rebels? We are against our parents?

If am in love with a person of a different religion, am i bad?

If i dont believe in some customs, am i bad?

Of course that does not make you a bad person, it just may make you a bad match for your partner!

All the youngsters don't have the same problem. There are not much conservative people around me and i won't ever change my point of view on anything if my parents ever ask me to do so. What is your religion? Where do you live? You aren't a rebel, you just know what you want and have the desire to change your 'monotonous' life ...

How can you say this makes him a bad match for his partner that’s ridiculous indeed so narrow minded. Are you a match maker ??? or what ..there is nothing wrong when a person loves someone from another religion and neither it’s a matter of match…as long as the persons involved are responsible and love each other then they go for it. Honestly my parents are very conservative but am not I love and respect my religion and other religion as well but I don’t really follows all those rules and regulations. I believe in God but I don’t pray often. I do things the way I want and I know what am doing is good I do it as per my will. You have to live your own life without forgetting your parents. Do things what seems good to you

I can understand and, i would say just as children respect their parents, in the same way, the parents should respect their children's point of view too.
If they do not feel concern about religion, thats their wish, youngsters do not believe in religions anymore.
Parents should accept the fact that religions would one day fade away, religion is only a custom which our forefathers followed.....

Personally, I live in England, my parents are quiet conservative they always ask me to do this do that, believe in that and so on. I never listened not because I don’t heed to my parent’s talks its because what they told me has no sense. Furthermore I’ve got my studies to handle and its quiet tough thus don’t have time for myself and now do you think I will care for religion. Only when am free and feel like praying that I’ll pray otherwise, I won’t do hypocrites with GOD…

Youth has always marched to the sound of a different drum. Theres a old saying, walk a mile in my shoes. .....Just remember, parents have lived in this world alot longer than their children....Beleive it or not, they were young once too
Religion is such a personal thing, you just have to respect other peoples points of veiw, regarding this matter.....life aint easy.....

i think that parents should change their way of thinking according to the era they are living in. Nowadays, many parents prove to be conservative - they want the youth to stick to the old customs. I cant blame the youth, neither the parents. But i believe that both must come to a compromise, trying to understand each other. The youth can try to clarify things out with the parents. Desperate, if you wanna change your parent's opinion matter, do it with love - not as a rebel.

I do not think that religion has something to do with a partner being a good match or not.It all comes to the attitudes and mindset of people.If you love someone which belongs to another religion that does not mean that you are a rebel towards your parent but only different.

sometimes young people has the tendency to believe that they know all things and are much better than their parents.That is why we end up in this heap of confusion.Young people should know that their parents are much more mature and have much more experience and should sometimes listen to them.
