Recent days, I find there is a very very big gereration gap between my mother and I. I think what she does and says are too much far from my mind. She always keeps saying without pause. It is terriable. What can I do now?
Do you suffer from such trouble as me?

There is a generation gap between you and your mother. Your mother is NOT your friend, she is your mother. She is a generation older than you and hopefully you will appreciate her wisdom and depth of understanding. Listen to your mother, you will learn from her maturity. She is not giving you trouble, she is probably trying her best to keep you out of trouble. She have given you roots, she does need to give you wings but as she gives you wings, she wants to be reassured that you will fly responsibly. Appreciate your mother's wisdom. Then, someday you will be as old, mature and wise as your mother.

Of course it very big generation gap between you and your mom. What our mom told is a good things and that mean they take care of their children. They have more experience then us. My mom always say something and i just silent. I know what she talking to me is a good thing for me.

Yes, keeping silence is a good choice. I think we should try to make our parents happy.

Of course there's generation gap between you and your mom cause she's your mother and your are her daughter. Isn't that make no different to your mind? Hehehe... she was born 20 years before you were born dear, at that points of time, there's no computer or internet. At that points of time, there's no fan and no nothing. So, she were grown in different manner and totally different from your time.
It's a common problem between growing teens and parents. This is much to say like conflict of modern world and modern needs or maybe there are some other better words to describe it.
I suggest to low your voice when arguing something with your parents, you might break their heart if you wrongly act to them. Must remember that they are the people that feed your mouth when you still a baby. They are the people that grown you will all their effort and loves.

Thank you for your suggestion. Just as what you say, I always talk to her in a low voice. When I feel uncomfortable I will just keep silence and talk to my friends about such bad feelings.
Because I know, she loves me.

There is also big generation between me and my mother. sometimes, I just feel it is really hard to communicate with her. Fore example, when I surf on the Internet, she says, no good on this things, you will be treated by the internet. When I buy new clothes, she will say it is a waste of money since you have already have many clothes. But girls in my age all want to wear beatiful clothes. Anyway, I will say it is my age and I know how to live my life.

Actually there has always been a generation gap between parents and their offsprings. This gap widens during the teenage years of the children.Mother to daughter and father to son gap are even wider. Anyway with time it subsides and eventually children come to know that the parents are their most dependable well wisher in this world .

Yes, you are quite right. Parents give too much to us. As they become old, they want to realize their own dreams, so they want us to help them to realize that.
Have a nice day.

Yes, i also suffer from the same problem. Nowadays there is a big generation gap. The mentality of old people are very much different from the mentality of the people of nowadays. they are very much arrogant and cannot adopt new things easily. for this reason, very often i have to quarrel with my parents, which i dont like at all.

So it is, it is too bad. So now, I don't always talk with them besides they are happy enough. To tell the truth, our parents have given too much to us, so..... you know, we have to control ourselves.
Have a nice day.

Hi, friend
I think most of children have generation gap with parents, especially during the time before we go to work or even before we get married. Maybe it's because our parents care so much about us during this period.
I remembered that when I was in middle school, I hated to go home , I hated to talk to mum, I even thought that my mum was not my blood mum, I often had a quarrel with her. But since I went to work, I began to realize what my mum did was for my good. Though sometimes she didn't do things in the right ways, but still I knew she loved me. Anywayl, she was not well educated when she was young, so I could understand her later.
I think maybe you are going through the period just like mine. I believe you can overcome it. ALways remember, most parents love childre.
Thanks for sharing, and have a nice day!
