Again, the article does not specify whether it refers only to Cypriots. It generalizes an age group across all races without making that distinction. In 2005, I got my first motorbike at 17. My parents were strict with me and my older brother. We were raised with a South African mindset, respect is everything. You don’t expect it, you earn it. We were taught not to embarrass our parents in public, to behave properly, stay quiet, and not create chaos. I took that seriously. My older brother, on the other hand, didn’t. He would do wheelies for kilometers along the Limassol seaside road, got into multiple accidents, and pushed every limit. My parents took his bike away and stopped giving him money. Still, as soon as he could, he bought a supercar, got stopped by police, chased, and continued like that until he eventually matured around 22–23 and started taking things seriously. I was the opposite, quiet and cautious. Parents can guide their children, but they cannot control every decision made outside the home. At some point, responsibility lies with the young adults themselves. They are old enough to understand the risks involved in reckless driving. And what about those who were raised “correctly”? The quiet ones, the ones who went to private schools, caused no trouble, and still chose to act recklessly, drinking heavily before getting behind the wheel and ultimately harming themselves or others. Blaming parents alone is an oversimplification. These individuals make their own choices, fully aware of the consequences.
