Some people think that the elders are conservative and just always want to follow their own right. Some think the young is more rebellious and need to listen to some advices from the older. It always becomes a hot topic among the society whether the old can teach the young or not. And the question needs an answer which will be revealed.
First, the elder have been through many hardships in their life. Thus, they have prolific experiences about some particular situations that they have already encountered. Teenage is something that they have gone through and probably one of the experiences that they can share with the younger generation. Obviously, there are some differences between teenagers now and in the past. Some blame it on the Western influences which are changing teenager’s lifestyle and behaviors. The contemporary teenagers are ones who always rebellious, furious and impatient. They are not willing to listen to any advices from others. They just want to be themselves and follow their self- consciousness and pride. That’s why they need old generation to guide them or imitate as an epitomize example.
On the other hand, some elders always follow and impress on their conservative mind to the younger generation. Parents always set a typical goal for their children to follow without realizing the damage causes to the psychology of the child. Some children feel the depression of the burden resting on their shoulder. And some cannot live up with their parents’ expectations.
The result is that they are branded as disobedient and privileges of a child have been taken away from them.
