Generation Gap - A major issue.

How often do you hear your friends say, my parents are not into understanding me much, or they don't follow the basic on-going trend, they don't cooperate etc etc. Well, are you your parents age? Obviously not! C'mon, let's cover how generation gap has become a major problem between Children and their elders. I will also throw some light upon how we can resolve it.

Let's start with a basic problem first and then moving on further we'll discuss about how is has become an issue worldwide.

        TODAY'S SOCIETY AND PARENTS.

You often hear your parents or grandparents talking about how they used to live, what used to happen when they were young. Do you think that an Era in which they've lived half of their life will change their mentality? Fine, I agree some of them become modern by time, but what about those who just don't want to change and face this modernity? They're often tagged as backward mentality people. Okay, I won't lie I used to think that too. But, as I grew up I started to understand that no matter what you just can't change the way our parents live. They still live happily thinking of their teenage or childhood time. As, in a fast growing world how can you expect from your parents ( who are getting old year by year ) to understand this modernity?

And that's where the issue lies. Where child want their parents to accept modernity and on the other hand parents want their children to live the same way they lived half of their life ( in short, in simplicity ). Who are right then? And who should be proven wrong? Well, no one. No one is at fault. It's changing of this world, a world which is rapidly changing. But how can anyone change their lifestyle or the way of living rapidly? And there comes this generation gap between us and our parents. And obviously, it's a two way road. Parent and a child both need to understand and ought to know that no matter what, we have to understand one another without any conflicts. MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING  plays a major role. 

Despite of all the things going around in this world, one must know what modern trends should be picked and what type of simplicity one should go for. Both are equally important. A child think of so many things about how to make his/her parents modern by time, and there is no harm in it. I've seen parents adjusting just because their children want them to, as per the "modernization". And also there are some who don't want to move forward by time. And that's completely okay, you can't force them to change. We think parents don't know anything, well, the experience  level they have in their life is unimaginable. They know things more than us, they know what's going around in this world, how good or bad this world is. But, as a child  you are still growing up and didn't face this world yet. Try to understand what things your parents go through when they can't accept this modernization, yes they get ashamed.

      UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN BOTH               THE PARTIES.

Many of you must've cursed your parents for not letting you go out in short dresses. It's not a big deal though. Understand their perspective, they are still living in their own world, and want their children to accept that living to. But, also they need to understand how rapidly these times are changing, it's not their own simple world anymore, everything has changed and in order to survive or live happily you ought to accept this modern Era. Some people don't, they don't adjust, and you know what? It's not wrong, they are just so afraid or just say, they lack strength in accepting this reality that how things have changed up til now, how they used to live very simply. But they need to understand this important thing, the era they took birth in, is far far different than in which their child took birth. Children's lifestyle will go accordingly. What I think is, adjustment plays an important role. Both the parties need to adjust by time. Conflicts just make things worse. And in order to live happily, we need to accept each others way of living. 

Generation gap has become a major issue where both the parties don't understand each other in terms of modernity. It has really affected many families worldwide. You can't reach each other's age even if you want to. Just a bit of mutual understanding and adjustable nature would help you go through it. No I'm not telling anyone to change, this world is already changing yet you can't change yourself Everytime according to new trends. 

Lastly, I would like to say, doesn't matter if you don't accept this modern Era, all I know is experience is something which makes you wise. And, an experienced human is 10 times more mature than the one who experience nothing. Age doesn't count. To live in this Era, explore and gain experience about how this world works, in order to know the difference between good and bad.

I really hope you all know how generation gap plays it major role worldwide. Try to understand each other, adjust according to the situations and you are good to go without any conflicts.
