Family ties

this commercial always bring tears to my eyes..
The sacrifizes made by parents.. and to instill in youngsters the importance of filial piety..
sad to say.. I have read about youngsters neglecting their families.. or not even communicating with family.. or else family is like a "substitute", only when the BF or FRIENDS not around then they have no choice but to be with family..
I have read about gals whose lives revolve around BF and no one else..
I know its their own lives but what happens IF the BF is NOT THERE anymore?
They lose someone they have depended entirely on for so long till they lose the motivation to be independent..or should I say, the mentality.
