 Generation Gap- The need to bridge it

Respected Principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. A very good morning to all. Today I stand before you to share my views on the topic 'Generation Gap'

Generation Gap means the gap between old people and the young. It is the difference in attitude, lifestyle, priorities, values and views among generations. The people belonging to the old generation always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation. They feel that during their time, young children were better behaved, more obedient and had greater respect for their elders. Young people, on the other hand feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than depending on the older generation for any guidance. Young people do not like to be spoon fed by their elders. They are aware of their choices and are independent.

Proper relationship must be developed from the very starting so that the understanding increases. When children are supported by their parents in their aims and choices, they develop more respect for their parents. It gives them confidence and they excel well in their fields and brings pride to the family. So, parents should understand this fact and provide a healthy environment to maintain peace in the family.

Thankyou.
