What do you think about generation gap ?

When I was young I thought of everyone over the age of 20 as ancient and anyone of my parents generation...well...they were from a different planet! And my Grandparents, OH MY GOD, looked like something straight out of a sepia photograph, slightly yellow around the edges. And after that the dinosaurs... Of course I myself am now a cool parent, up to date, fashionable , with the latest cool music on the Ipod. My daughter wears my T Shirts and never returns them and my son and husband go to the Pub together to watch football. What generation gap?? Well, ask my children and they'd half agree with me, but luckily we managed to preserve a little bit of parental authority in that we can occasionally sound old fashioned and unreasonable. The shrinking generation gap is both a good and a bad thing. While there are more points of connection between children and adults, the boundaries are very often becoming too blurred and it can get confusing to define exactly where they lie. I believe having mixed up ' role models' as parents who aim to be both young and cool as well as authoritative and competent as parents is also giving out confusing signals to children. I do like being a ' young -in'- the-mind- parent, but I also found out that being a little older and wiser and responsible has to be a priority.

Hi friend, I feel sometimes happy and some times sad about the generation gap.It is creating new ideas even to youngster as how to do and what to do but it is simultaneously spoiling the family relationships.It is always good to know good things unless you won't forget the family relationships.It is making people to move other side which is not good for young people.If the youngster are in their limit than i feel it is good otherwise it is really bad. Have a nice day

I think it happens with every generation. When our parents were young they had ideas differnt from their parents and now we have thinking different from our parents. Soon our kids will differ from us and so on and so forth.This cycle continues with every generation and you will notice that every succeeding generation is more progressive than the last. There will always be a generation gap because we tend to be a little modern than our forebears and a little conservative to our progeny. There are always meeting points between two generations where they will agree and and also disagree.Sometimes we find that the younger generation have ideas which are admirable and we have to accept their way of thinking and sometimes they say something which is totally irrelevant and they have then to accept our way of thinking.This is a part of life.

What I think is the "Generation Gap" is mostly related to experience and change. Some of the old folks are afraid that the new changes are happening for the bad, and indeed they have reason to worry since a lot of things are going wrong these days. If there is something that's been going on for quite some time and it's been right, they don't want it to change, since taking a risk that might have an irreversible negative impact is definitely not invited! Also, the younger generation tend to think that "old folks" are...well, old, and have no ideas or originality. This, in fact, is quite wrong. Perhaps not in all cases, but definitely cannot be stereotyped. They were the ones because of whom we are where we are today. The children who complain of Generation gaps don't think that where they are now, all this technology, all this change and these "gaps" are coming about only because of what's been going on for the past few years, they are the base. As far as love is considered, I cannot say, it depends quite a lot :P

Generation gap does exist. As a student in colleage, I feel that I already can't understand some teenages' behaviors. Besides,the generation gap between myself and my parents is much wider. I know my parents love me and so do I. But sometimes there are still some disagreements between us which can't be ignored or settled.

everybody knows there exists generation gap between young and old, but how to bridge the gap is much more important, in my opinion, the young are haste in everything , and the old are getting naggish day by day, the young should try their best to be patient with the old, i believe that young and old could be good friends.just be more patient! everybody would be getting old in future.hehe

The generation gap seems to be a manifestation of the pendulum swinging between the poles of human thought and behavior. Each generation rebels to some extent against the one before, so that conservative parents have liberal children, and vice versa. Whether it takes one generation or several, what's old becomes new again, without fail!

Generation gap, well it is something so usual and I must admit that I got friends who are 20 to 30 years elder than me. We get along very well. And they teach me a lot by narrating stories or telling me facts.

From generation to generation we are facing the same problem, that is conditioning. It doesn't matter how old or young you are, as long as we don't drop the illusions there's no awakening. Growing up? Everybody grows up, but they're still sleep.
