generation gap

This week we only have one lecture on Wednesday, so we still stay on the topic we discussed last week about the generation gap in the family. I think the reason that many parents have a hard time to communicate with their children about how to help teens grow up during their puberty is because they have totally understanding about this world and life value. Parents already had hard time to fit in the society when they are teenagers. They do not want their children have same difficult process as what they experienced before. However, the teens feels that they are ready to deal with the world alone by themselves with their full of the curiosities. They do not want to listen and follow what their parents' outdated social experiences and value. They have their own dream and hope about their new life and new world they will face on. Here is really hard to judge that who is right or wrong. The generation gap exist in every families and households no matter in which country or culture. Today, following with the high speed technological and economical development, people's social and family value also changed really fast. Now, the generation gap between different generations could be so short. No wonder that parents can not completely understand and feel what their children's world and value. However, I believe that the communication could be the only key point to help family member to make up this factual “gap” between parents and their children. If they both understand how much they love each other during teenagers grow up this particular process, I think at least they can find a balance to make up the distance between each others.
