about six years ago i was eating lunch in a restaurant in new york city when a woman and a young boy sat down at the table, i couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. at one point the woman asked: so, how have you been?” and the boy –who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied.” frankly, i have been feeling a little depressed lately.”
this incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed(確認(rèn))my growing belief that children are changing. as far as i can remember, my friends and i didn’t find out we were” depressed”, that is ,in low spirits, until we were in high school.
undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. children don’t seem childlike anymore. children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. children as it once was no longer exist. why?
human development is depended not only on both biological states, but also on patterns of gathing social knowledge. movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
