Sometimes it takes just a little bit of sitting down and talking with one another to try and come to an understanding as to why they feel the way that they do. From both perspectives. Being a teenager is a lot of stress too because you're slowly becoming an adult over time and you can't see from an adult's perspective yet. As you get older you start losing sight of what it's like to be a teenager and thus you start thinking that teenagers just need to grow up not realizing that teenagers don't have enough time to grow up into being an adult which is why so many adults still act like teenagers well into their '20s
This is no means of saying that we can't communicate with the younger generation or the older generation, this is just saying that it gets a little harder over time when our perspectives are skewed due to age and we try our best to figure out how to communicate with one another. We just have to see what the end goals are and how each other is feeling about it.
Another thing that does pop in my mind Is how a lot of adults lose sight of what it's like to be a teenager as well. They think that it's just so easy to go through high school. Not realizing what each generation is like. Teenagers today are in a completely new stressful environment compared to millennials growing up, Gen X growing up, baby boomers, and so on. Each decade is riddled with different types of technology and social stigmas that a lot of people don't realize plays a huge key role in what it's like to grow up with.
Each generation is brand new with different situations that they're having to become accustomed to and then later on when those teenagers become adults sort of are hammered into their minds thinking that it's going to be the same way for every single generation. Not every generation is going to be able to understand and comprehend the last generation or the next generation. Which is why a lot of times you'll hear the older generation saying that this generation has it so much easier but not taking into consideration what new social stigmas, technologies, and so forth have on today's people.
Unfortunately some of the situations that I have seen with the current generation is that they're too reliant on technology to understand how to communicate and I would say that my generation was probably the last generation to really try to resolve their issues with one another. The issue with this is that the more that we don't limit screen time with teenagers and children it's going to have an adverse effect on their social life in general. Why all one of the biggest problems that we're going to be left with in about 10 more years is that people will be sexually confused. Because we're leaving them to their own devices on the internet allowing teenagers to come up with their own constructs. This isn't to say that figuring out your sexuality or gender is a bad thing this is to say that because of this it's going to leave them more and more confused. Which is definitely not a good thing. because of this they're getting the wrong information about different situations and not talking to a professional winning reality they're talking to an AI or they're talking to some of the person on the internet that read one wiki article thinking that they know more than a doctor.
So what is the correct solution?
