Age Gap

bL: What is wrong with the older generation nowadays? Can't they understand how we, teenagers feel?

fR: Chill man. Just be cool. Let them say what they want. Maybe there is a lil mix up with communication between u n ur parents. Take it slow. Be cool!

bL: Yea, mayb ur rite!

*thought of the day*

As u approach the age of 20 n began to think, ur parents were once in ur position, most probably goin thru the same experience as u did/do n it is pretty obvious(dumb of me to say this) that they hav the rights to decide the dos n donts which is rather annoyin as u get older. But again why dun they just leave their children alone n let them figure out the good & bad/dos & donts thing. I believe that tis will help the child a lot rather than being controlled by the parents.

For the past 4-5 years, I realised the problem might b the age gap. But sum ppl say it is bcoz of miscommunication. So I was thinking how do I link both of them together. The one thing which is pretty obvious is the way the parents n child interpret each others conversation. The misinterpretation is caused by the age gap as both party(both parents n child) come from different generation.

As for starters, parents have the tendency to speak as slow as possible so that the child will listen n understand every single word they say but the problem is, kids nowadays have very active minds n to them as this words get into their brain, processed at a slower speed and as more words come in n as this goes on & on, only certain words take place in the memory bank till it happens, BOOM, they got fed up n take it as nagging(a famed word among teenagers nowadays). On the other hand, when kids speak to their parents, they tend to keep it short n simple as they expect their parents to be smart enough to interpret what their trying to say and in the end brings to a conclusion, misinterpretation.

Have u every thought what wud it be like if ur parents belong to the same generation as u r?Ever wonder why ur brother/sister, or ur uncle/aunt(younger bro/sis of ur parents) understands u more than ur parents?

As I grew older, I found out tat I couldn't take even a 1 minute talk from my parents n the 1st thing tat came up to my mind at the moment, NAGG!!! But I did found out tat after a few moments it might sounded like a nagg in the beginning but it ends up to be a very good advice from my parents. So nowadays all I do is listen listen listen n I only speak up when something really goes wrong(it always happen =p)

So my advice to everyone out there, "be cool" when u hear words coming out from ur parents mouth, "stay cool" as u will understand how important are the words coming out from ur parents mouth and "chill" when things get a lil heated up =p Cheers!^-^ thanks for reading again.
