Some parents are actually going on a self-destructing way! But they have the right to use violence (including verbal abuse and real violence) at their disposal! And they refuse to admit they have possibility to make mistakes!
So sometimes others (especially other family members) see their self-destructing behaviors but cannot say anything!
Sometimes some parents don't learn new things at all and watch short videos every day, but force their children to learn and criticize their children are lazy
I must say that children of the 21st century are indeed more aware than their parents. This is a time of high technology and children understand and use technology. Parents mostly belong to the 20th century so it is a bit difficult for them to understand uses of modern technology. Also most children use internet for most of their activities like making friends, buying things, doing assignments etch which makes them more technologically aware.
