"My Dad Doesnt understand me",My Mom doesnt trust me",THE words may
differ but not the state of mind,teens have today!
Generation Gap,A term coined in the west,and a few years back we the Asians were not familiar with it and stood proud of our family systems!but now the unwanted social phenomena is more prevalent in Asia
As a teenager myself i have found following facts to be responsible:
Every parent in the world strives for giving his kids the best!but in urge to do so they probably don't manage time for their kids,
I've always believed that greed not money is the real evil! Aristotle very rightly called humans social animals.as humans and specially teens can tolerate anything but not being constantly ignored.!
I believe this generation gap is one of the leading causes of the recent burst of social networking amongst the youth,creating a more theirs and self centered virtual world,compensating for real life relationships!
"What to do?simple,i say give time a teen today loves his iPhone apps for then not so theirs relationships because it is available for him anytime!
It may look stupid to waste your time in watching your son's YouTube rap video or seeing a not a so good science project of your kid.but do it!participate in their world!
Parents live their future through kids and see their ambitions,aspirations in the kid's life!there's nothing wrong with it(iam 17 and already fantasize about doing so!)but make sure your dreams boost your kids ambitions,and don't bulldoze them!!do not make your kid's life a corporate investment!! Remember love begets love!hope the unseen divide is bridged soon!!
