The Lazy Boy Story | Teenage Stories

Once upon a time, there was a lovely couple named Joe and Willow, who had a beautiful home. Their love for each other was immense, and after seven long years, they were blessed with a child whom they named Jaden. Jaden was the apple of their eye, and they showered him with unconditional love and everything he desired. They never questioned his wishes, even as he grew up, spending his days engrossed in TV and video games. Joe and Willow's sole aim was to provide Jaden with all the love and comfort in the world, despite hoping that he would engage in outdoor activities and contribute to household chores like other children. This family was considered the happiest.

Years later, high above in the clouds, a meeting was held among the influential figures who largely governed our world. Habits such as dishonesty and tardiness were present, and tardiness, being perpetually late, was quite infuriating. But this habit clarified that it was indeed tardiness, the habit of not being on time. Anger interjected, asserting that anger and not intelligence was the speaker. However, this was common knowledge, and anger shouldn't interrupt. Intercept, the embodiment of laziness and inactivity, was reminded that his duty was to be lazy and inactive, not to be arrogant. Arrogance had its own purpose and was expected to fulfill it. Sighing, Intercept admitted that being in his position wasn't as easy as it seemed.

Apologizing profusely, Intercept explained that he tried to be on time but encountered a girl down on Earth. He had commanded her to be late for her interview, as her friends perceived her to be consistently tardy. It was easy for Intercept to manipulate her since nobody expected anything better from her. Another habit chimed in, blaming her for their delay, but Intercept refuted the claim, stating that he was on time. The habit of dishonesty emerged, revealing his true nature of never speaking the truth.

The meeting revolved around a boy named Jaden, whom everyone referred to as the miracle child. Born after seven years of longing, Jaden was Joe and Willow's only child in the Prime City. He was now 14 years old, and for the past three months, his behavior had become concerning. Jaden stayed awake until late at night, slept until noon, neglected his breakfast, avoided chores, failed to complete his homework, and, as revealed, even took someone else's lunch at school. The most distressing part was his subsequent lie about it, showing no remorse for his actions. The three habits - inertia, arrogance, and dishonesty - were assigned the task of commanding Jaden in the Prime City.

As Jaden grew up, he transformed into a lonely and lazy young boy who disregarded any advice given to him. He lounged around and lied whenever questioned. His parents, Joe and Willow, grew increasingly worried about his changing attitude and tried to reason with him. They expressed their disappointment and advised him to find a job and stand on his own two feet. Jaden, feeling entitled, blamed his parents for his laziness, claiming they spoiled him by fulfilling all his desires. He believed that if he was spoiled, they were the reason behind it. His father intervened, reminding him not to speak with such disrespect and that he couldn't blame others for caring about him. They emphasized that their actions were driven by love, highlighting the transition from being a child who needed care to an adult capable of making decisions and overcoming bad habits. Jaden, under the influence of arrogance, resisted acknowledging his need for help, preventing him from seeking support from his parents.

Apart from arrogance, Jaden struggled with inertia and dishonesty, which had caused him to lose his friends. He felt lonely and exhausted.
