Filling
the
generation
Gap
By

Ever
feel
like
your
parents
don't
understand
you
at
all
?
I
know
it
sounds
horribly
stereotypical

feeling
misunderstood

This
is
common
and
it
isn't

____________________
really
just
don't
understand
us
;
it
is
as
simple
as
that
.
This
lapse
of
understanding
is
mainly
due
to
the
rather
large
generation
gap
between
us
and
our
parents
.
Times
have
changed
,
and
for
some
____________________
they
have
a
hard
time
understanding
this
at
times
.
Back
when
they
were
growing
up
,
things
that
we
find
socially
acceptable
were
considered
horribly
inappropriate
.
For
example
,
guys
and
girls
just
hanging
out
is
a
lot
more
common
than
in
the
60's
and
70's
.
And

conduct
at
dances
.
Back
then
a
guy
politely
asked
a
girl
if
she
would
like
to
dance
.
Now
they
just
come
____________________
behind
a
girl
,
grab
her
and
sweep
her
to
the
floor
,
and
all
this
while
the
girl's
wondering
,
?
Do
I
know
him
?
Is
he
attractive
or
what
?
?
In
the
older
days
,
girls
wouldn't
have
to
wildly
signal
to
their
friends
to
help
them
out
of
a
dance
.
So
considering
we
are
a
much
more
desensitized
and
open
generation
,
it
is
only
fair
that
people
who
____________________
up
before
us
may
have
a
hard
time
comprehending
our
actions
.
And
,
while
I'm
not
trying
to
completely
justify
their
intolerance
,
we
do
have
to
understand
that
it's
just
new
to
them
.

have

way
possible
