Generation Gap: Is it Endless?
Nowadays, family problems are one of the most common causes of disruption for teenagers. Misunderstandings between teens and their parents might become severe, which makes it necessary to find some solution to this huge gap between two different generations.
Parents often don't see eye to eye with their children on a lot of things. Mothers usually have a row with their daughters over their looks. For example, the clothes, the haircut and the look make parents argue with their children. Besides, parents sometimes push their children over the edge to make them fulfill their own ambitions. Therefore, some teenagers get depressed when they feel that their parents don't value their accomplishments or accept them for who they are. But, there is always a way to deal with problems.
In order to improve the relationship between the two generations, it is important to adopt a control strategy. First, teenagers should show their parents that they are grown up and that they have their own preferences. Second, they should tell their parents openly what bothers them. Also, parents need to understand their kids and show interest in their choices. Finally, communication is the best way to transfer a damaged relationship into a smooth one.
To conclude, every family has problems once in a while because of trouble understanding each other since different generations see things differently. But, family problems shouldn't be blown out of proportion, otherwise, the whole family will collapse and the generation gap will remain endless.
