Generation gap

To start with, all of us can see that there is a great lack of understanding between teenagers and adults and it's reason would be the genetarion gap. That is because we, younger people tend to adapt to the new evinrovment, than it was like 20 years ago. And here I am going to give you fine examples of these situations happening with my family members.

Moving on that, i'd like to begin with about what I argue with my parents. I usually argue with them about the things I like, and they dislike, a good example of this would be luxurious cars. They tend to think that luxurious cars are just for showing off and speeding, where I disagree with them, because we all know it's up to the person who drives it how he wants to use it. However, I do not argue with my parents about what clothes I wear, where I spend my free time, about my school amars, friends, or what time I should be at home, because they trust me and I do not let them down, most of the times. Unfortunately, that's where my grandparents kick in. I always argue with them about what time I should be at home, especially with grandmother, because she's out of touch and totally out of date, sometimes it feels like she's still living in 1980's. Always watching television about how bad things happen to young people when they get out of home and don't come back, I totally hate that and try to ignore it.

What is more, it's that most parents personal life experience might help understand teenagers, due to that they, sometime ago were aswell teenagers. Personally I didn't have problems with my parents about understanding me about any problems I had. Moreover, there is a mistake that most teenagers do quite often, they are thinking that they know better than their parents, there might be true about some of the things, but we must admit, that our parents know a lot more then us due to their life, and i'm not talking about computers and stuff, but about  , how to handle the life.

However, there is a quite a major problem in this social world where parents think they know better on what we want, but this is a complete non-sense. Of course by growing us, they saw the things we like to do, but the only person of what we truly want is yourself and noone else.

Moreover, there could be some actions that might help to understanding between teenagers and adults or elders. For example doing sports, watching TV, talk about how did your day go at school or work, however teenagers shouldn't do everything with their parents. A good example of this would be, hanging out with girlfriend or going to school, well the obvious things. That would just seperate the bond. Moving on, talking about you think and trying it to explain it, always helps, because as I stated earlier due to their personal experience they can always give advice, and you can confide in them.


Taking all things in consideration, there are quite a lot of problems in society between the teenagers and adults aswell as elders, but there always quite a lot of ways to get past them. You should always respect your family, maybe follow in one of your family footsteps aswell. Despite the age difference, they can always share something that you don't know and lend a hand.
