Student Orientation: Between Discipline and Bullying.

My memory was going to eight years ago, when I was new student at high school. My student orientation was fully with senior’s shouted and angrier. I must wake up at 4.30 morning, prepare my task and crazy things that I must bring to the orientation sessions, can’t more than at 5.15 I must going to school if I want doesn’t to late. At 05.45, I should be at my check point (100 meters before my school) to get a signature from my seniors, that’s was a proof that my “crazy things should must I bring” was completely. After get a signature, I must run for 100 meters between my check points to my school gates. Yes, I should be run, not just walking, if I don’t want get a push up punishment. That’s my opening story about my orientation experiences, all the day after I entry my school gates I would be busy with my task, run, push up and senior’s shouted. But, if I look at now, at 3-4 generations after mine, I think that something was changing. At now, never I heard a shouted, angrier, or push up punishment. I just heard that my next generation’s orientation fully with: seminary, discussions, training, games, and the other “fun thing”. I am not fully like with my orientation, but if I must choices between “my orientation” and “3-4 next generation orientation”, I would be surely to choice mine. I think behind the unreasonable what my seniors shouted and tasked for me, that’s a discipline’s lessons which I can get. I should be discipline with the time, never too late, do my task with seriously, responsibility, and many lessons that I will never get if I just get “seminary experience” at my orientation. I know that maybe some reason to change “discipline’s orientation” to “seminary’s orientation” is to decrease the bullying or violence to new student. But I think if we just give “good and fun experience” that was too boring for their. The implication of this changing culture, if I can say without experiment proofed, is a childish generation. They just know a “good think”, which sometimes in the reality, life never consist just of “good and fun think”. They must train with “discipline” way. We can’t just say “you must discipline, not too late, never give up” but we never training them to do that. What’s we do just “say” not “training” them. I am not an expert person in this subject, but I think that something gone wrong with our orientation. I agree that something must change, but changing to be better.
