There was a time when parents used to hush-up all wrong doings of their children. Gone are those days. Nowadays, every bad character of the child is seen as a "extra curricular activity". In fact, they even encourage them.Moreover, they cannot reprimand them as they themselves did not follow any moral instructions handed out by their parents. No matter which path you choose as long as you become famous in your circle.
Definitely, the end will not justify the means.
