分类：默认分类 字号：大大 中中 小小 We have never stopped expecting a harmonious family since the beginning of civilization,and we make efforts towards it from time to time.However,such a supreme target still looked like a dream (At least nowadays).The young generation could hardly ever share exactly the same points of views with their parents,thus resulted in the barriers and conflicts between them.It is the so-called "Generation gap",which puzzled almost every family in the world.
Since the world is changing rapidly,it is just common to encounter generation gaps that are fairly wide and deep -- common but not to be "ignored".For little children,incidents that are too terrible may not happen,but if it is not seriously coped with,it may result in teen urge,which led them going to extremes,when they become adolecent.
Every time when I saw those poor guys in the Juvenile Disciplinary homes on television,I felt somehow heartache.Stereotyped thinking goes that they are ignorant in ethics and laws (Overall,they themselves are "bad"),which has been repeted thousands of times.As a peer of these stumblers,I may say that a strong self-control could not be easily gained by every teenager.They do have serious faults on themselves and they must pay for it,but most of them can't be the teens that are nothing but "bad".Actually,they are the victims of the ignored generation gaps.
How can they stumble and be sent there?As most cases goes,conflicts broke out between those adolecents and their parents,then the unpleasant situation transformed into a permanent estrangement.No one being able to confide to,they are guadually involved in the whirl of gloom things in the society,corrupted.Step by step,they violate the ethics and laws,then commit a crime,and finally destroy themselves.Think of it,if their parents had delivered more love and care,if they had formed a correct view of right and wrong from their parents' inspiring and guiding,if ...
It doesn't make any sense to talk about IF's.Since serious generation gaps may lead to terrifying results,the very essence of avoiding it,in my personal opinion,is to face the generation gaps seriously,and to deal with them correctly.
It goes without saying that communication is the most effective way to broke the ice between people.Talking about the relationship between two generations,I found that the word "Estrangement" is used again and again.But why estrange?Have to?Or just unwilling to communicate?
Almost everyone may respond like the first answer,but I'm afraid that many cases should be caused because by the latter one.We all talk about "Communication",whereas few parents really communicate with their children (Especially adolescent children).
My mother often tells me that "We are just close friends",and so we are.When we have different views on a certain matter,we will sit down to consult about the situation.The result may either be an eclectic solution or observing one side.No matter this kind of parent-child relationship fits other families or not,communication is always the golden rule.
Sometimes it seems that communication is almost impossible.This is high time that both the children and their parents should seek for problems on themselves.Parents should do more to comfort and guide the children,while children must do their best to be considerate of their parents and show respect of them (Also work hard,of course).Everyone learn to be tolerant,then conflicts and estrangements can hardly come into existance.
Generation gap is a common but serious problem.Maybe the gap could never be filled up completely,but we could still do our best to make it narrower and shallower by using the proper methods.
At last,we youngsters will have to face an undoubtedly fact.One day we have our own children,we may also be puzzled by coping with the generation gaps.Ready to be estranged?
