Finally, I'll lead you to some initiative which can fulfil the generation gap.
You need to find the
answers for three brain teasers. First, what should a teenager do when they feel that parents don't understand them? Actually, the answer is being brave. By the way, he can say to his parents: 'There is something weird about my growing up... It's too important to me, so could you listen to my problems? And then we can talk about our viewpoints...'. Secondly, when there's a conflict, how can they speak the same language from both sides? To adults, just being firm when it has to be, but flexible and willing to compromise when it should be. Sometimes, giving a full hearing is enough to ease parental concerns. Likewise, it's a friendly ear that's enough for adolescents to honour their parents' wishes. And the last one: Are there any ways to minimize the effects of the generation gap? I extremely believe the best way is sympathy - putting yourself in other's shoes. Family members should treat others as a guide who can help them to know more about their own worlds. Today, with the advent of technology, people are more and more easy to ignore each other. Hence, instead of sticking to the screen, they can stay closer by spending more time sharing, helping housework or playing together.
