I remember that when I was in my teens,I used to refuse to obey many of the "do's" and "don'ts" my parents dictated to me. For example,when I kept on playing jazz records on the stereo,my father would condemn such music as sheer noise and replaced them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull. When I insisted that I sleep with my pet dog,they immediately said,"No way," because they thought I would be bitten by fleas. These were just a few examples of the things I thought my parents were unreasonable about.

Today,however,I am a father of a boy aged 15,and I find that I too,am pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations hard for him to "swallow". It's not unmon to hear my yelling at him,"What do you mean by fooling around all night without reviewing your lessons?" or "How e you did it? You are still wet behind the ears." The other day,I noticed that my son wore giant pants that three teen-agers could occupy. No one would wear them on the grounds that they were indecent and undignified. I at once manded him to take them off. Usually,he is fairly obedient,but this time he put his foot down. "What's wrong with giant pants? All my classmates wear them,and I don't think you have the authority to order me to remove them,even though you are my father!" said he. When I was a boy,if I had spoken with such rudeness to my elders,I would have been given a good beating. But I suddenly realized that we are now living in a more liberal society,and that my son's insistence on wearing g

iant pants was merely an instance of the generation gap that existed between us. Therefore,I gave in and now he still wears giant pants.

Generation Gap

Nowadays, there is often a lack of understanding between parents and children. Children always plain that their parents are out of date, while parents can’t approve of what their children say and do. Thus, a big generation gap is formed.

The gap remains wide for many reasons. Children want to be free to choose their own friends, select their own classes in school, plan their own future, earn and spend their own money, and generally run their own life in a more independent way than many parents allow. Also, young children wish to be understood by their parents, but most parents don’t quite understand their children. They regard it as their responsibility to teach their offspring traditional beliefs. They want them to be obedient and do well in school. Therefore, misunderstanding often arise from parents’ tendency to interfere in children’s daily activities.

In my opinion, most problems between parents and children could be solved by joint efforts of both sides to enhance mutual understanding.

Though many aspects of our social life have been improved,the generation gap between the youths and the olders remain and even grows wider.

In my opinion,because of the influence of inpidualism from western civilization,the youths do not blindly follow what the elders say,that causes the gap. The young arecreative and revolutionary,always go along with the trend and like changing. While the old,accustomed to everything of the past,are hostile to change. Also with more and more different beliefs and philosophical ideas,it is natural the young hold different opinions from the old.

I think in order to narrow the gap,both parts should try to understand and respect each other,instead of trying to change others as they wish. Diversity doesn't mean conflict so long as they hold the right attitude towards the problems.

You are still wet behind the ears." The other day, I noticed that my son wore giant pants that three teen-agers could occupy. No one would wear them on the grounds that they were indecent and undignified. I at once commanded him to take them off. Usually, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put his foot down.

With the development of society ， the generation gap between children and their parents has become a social problem 。Here is some advice on helping bridge the generation gap.

First, we should respect our parents. It is the virtue of Chinese people. This is the easiest to say and the hardest to do. Second, we must avoid conflict with our parents. If we think that our parents are doing something wrongly and want to correct their mistakes, we must give our opinions in a proper way. Third, we should reach a compromise with our parents. With an earlier deal and discussion, neither parents nor children will be hurt by each other. Finally, we must communicate with our parents as much as possible. There are much misunderstanding between us. And we should have a talk.

In a word, a good relationship with parents makes us a happier person. It is worth the effort.
