Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth with present, and regard old times as better, always talking about «the good old days». People are said to become wiser with age. Sometimes it is true and sometimes it is not. I think that you can meet a wise man among the old as often as among the young. It is false that when old age wisdom has come, unless illusion have disappeared. Sometimes when we talk to adults, a monologue is a preferred form of expressing your ideas in such talks. That’s why some teens don’t like to talk to adults.

Some people believe that teenagers today are generally rude, lazy and badly behaved. Other people, however, think that teens a bad reputation for no reason. Sometimes people don’t understand us. They don’t understand some problems and things which very important in teen’s life: for example, the lifestyles, piercing, tattoos, relationship with friends and teachers. Some people don’t want to understand modern views, ideals and our system of values. Furthermore they say that teenagers are cruel, envious, brutal, heartless and rude. Yes, today new generation «plays» with smoking, drags and narcotic injections. But this doesn’t mean that all teens are really bad! On the other hand, nowadays many people of elderly generation keep - up - to - date with the changes in our society. They look at the world with fresh eyes. Moreover they try to find a teen’s problems and help to solve it instead of scolding. As for me, I try to cope with my problems together with my elder friends and they understand me or give a peace advice. But in most cases «new generation» doesn’t understand their parents and becomes very nervous. Like a protest teens shock people around them and provoke them. That’s why it is considered that teens today are lazy and bad behaved. Some parents have their own ideas and views that their children don’t share and understand. They think that their children won’t find their place in life. They often say that now teens are very difficult to socialize with and dumpy. But children should settle all problems peacefully because they are their parents. They brought them up with loving care. And if children come to their parents for advice and help, they will do their best and help children to cope with problems and difficulties.
