Generation gap:
you don’t understand
Times have changed, and you often just don’t seem to keep up. So here are some useful tips for parents/ carers/adults from eighteen-year-old Jess — read them carefully and don’t make the same mistakes again.
• You don’t understand ‘non-uniform’ days. We may have 700 items of clothing in our wardrobes but none is suitable for the look we want. Fashion is always changing. 1) What’s more, new clothes feel good and are always a talking point when you first wear them. And as for trainers — don’t get me started. We can’t have the cheap ones that ‘look’ like well-known brands. They must be the real thing. Everybody now wears designer labels. 2) Surely, you wouldn’t like us to stick out and be the butt of everybody’s jokes.
• Just give us a break, please … Even if we have been with our friends all day, we’ll always phone them again and again on their mobiles. It makes perfect sense. 3) Exciting things may have happened and they have to be discussed immediately. Lines of communication are always open between best mates.
• Sometimes we don’t want to talk and just need time to ourselves, but this doesn’t mean that you’re a bad parent. Give us some space, and we’ll come back to you when we’re ready. 4) After all, everyone has the right to privacy, so don’t we deserve it too?
• You don’t realise that the mood swings and arguments we have are down to the pressure we come under at school and from friends. With exams starting from Year 9, when we’re just fourteen, the pressure starts to build up and it seems that life is all about doing well in the SATs and later in GCSEs.
• And here is a good one! It is NOT funny to tell our friends stories about us in our nappies. It’s humiliating. 5) What we did when we were babies has nothing to do with what we are like now. So don’t keep on embarrassing us and just drop it.
• It seems that language has changed too … When we say boyfriend/girlfriend sometimes we just mean a boy or girl that is a friend. 6) No need to make wedding plans or worry that you’ll have to push a pram around soon. It’s perfectly normal to have a lot of friends of the opposite sex. Wasn’t it like that in your day?
• And don’t worry, we don’t expect you to change. There are some things adults will never understand about teenagers. 7) So don’t bother trying to impose your views on us. And we won’t try to turn you into Supermum and Superdad. And let’s keep it that way, OK?
a No need to make wedding plans or worry that you’ll have to push a pram around soon.
b Surely, you wouldn’t like us to stick out and be the butt of everybody’s jokes.
c It’s annoying to be told you’re a young adult and then to be treated like a child when you give your opinion.
d What we did when we were babies has nothing to do with what we are like now.
e What’s more, new clothes feel good and are always a talking point when you first wear them.
f So don’t bother trying to impose your views on us.
g Today the most important topics of conversation are new relationships and clothes.
h After all, everyone has the right to privacy, so don’t we deserve it too?
i Exciting things may have happened and they have to be discussed immediately.

In my opinion, the old should learn from the young, but this does not mean that older people are less wise. I partly agree with this statement because young people are usually more open to new ideas and technologies. They can teach older generations how to use modern devices, social media and new ways of communication. This is very useful in today’s fast-changing world.

Another reason is that young people often see the world differently. They may be more creative, flexible and ready to accept changes. Adults can learn from this attitude and become more confident in trying something new. In addition, young people can help the old understand modern language, trends and the problems of the younger generation.

However, some people think that the old should not learn from the young because older people have more life experience and better judgement. They believe that young people are too inexperienced to teach adults anything important.

I do not agree with this opinion. Experience is important, but it does not mean that older people cannot learn from younger ones. Learning is a two-way process, and every generation has something valuable to offer.

To conclude, I believe that the old should learn from the young, especially in areas connected with modern life, technology and new ways of thinking.
