These are some of the most common sentences spoken amongst teenagers. Even more so I find my friends asking how to do simple tasks like this. Occasionally, I even ask some of these questions.
You would think high school students would be able to do simple things like cleaning and cooking, however many students have never been taught these things.
In school we learn how to find the slope of lines, evolution of the world, and what demonstrative adjectives are. Although, are not taught the little chores, and necessities for life.
One would think that parents would teach these things. However, many people do not think much about it.
People mostly assume they know how to do these things, but once trying to realize they cannot.
On the other hand, there are some teens that do not have supportive parents in their lives. This is where schools should step in, and focus on teaching these mandatory skills for life.
In high school students are not concerned with this. I know very few people that fold their own laundry, cook their own dinner, and so on. It is not unheard of, just the majority of people.
Why would anyone want to do a chore that their parents will do if it does not get completed?
This laziness or inexperience will cause an issue in the future.
Once you have gone to college you may be shocked that the big pile of dirty clothes keeps building up on the floor, and eventually the lack of clean clothes. Or you no longer have any eating utensils, because they are all built up in the sink.
Ask yourself this question, do you know how to preform these jobs? Cooking for instance, not just mac and cheese, but could you really prepare a decent meal? Or do you know how to clean your bathroom? That could result in a mess.
Now it is time to take the initiative and ask for help. If a parent is not able to help you out then Google it, you can find anything on the Internet.
At the end of the day, there is no reason to not be able to fold your own laundry.
