Udfordringer i teenagelivet: Forældre og generationsforskelle

The teenager life can sometime be very difficult; there are many different reasons why teenager feel that.

Parents

I think the main reason why teenagers experience their lives as hard, is the parents. The parents and the teenagers can have a very hard time understanding each other, witch lead to misunderstanding, arguments and in worst-case scenario anger. The big problem why parents and teenagers cannot get along is that they are from different ages. Because evry generation does things differently and that can make some hassles. For an example, kids and teenagers now to day spend a lot of time at electronics devices as computer, tablet, phone or television. The parents from another age are not use to spend time at electronics devices, because there were not the same options of playing games or surfing at the internet for just 30-40 years ago. However, kids now today is raised with a phone or tablet in their hand. That makes many complications because parents do not understand why their kids or teenagers spends so much time at electronics devices.

Parents also have a completely different opinion of when their kids are old enough to do grown up stuffs like drinking, partying and make sleepovers at friends. It is caused of the age different, and what the parents are raised with; partying is getting popular in an earlier and earlier age the parents are not raised with the same amount of parting and drinking, as their kids are now to day. They do not get why their kids are going to party once a weak, and drinking a lot more than they did. Moreover, the teenagers do not get why they cannot go to all of these parties and drinking as much as they do. These are common problems between parents and their kids.
