People like to criticize people because of their age even if they're 5 years younger. As this gap increases, the level of criticizing also increases. Almost no grown up likes youngsters. We have to see this as self-criticism. Here are some of the things adults have to think before they start criticizing.
The biggest reason why adults look down on the people that the young generation likes is their age. They see these new celebrities as children.
Justin Timberlake was 14 when he started his career with N Sync, Nick Carter was 14 as well when he started with Backstreet Boys, Lee Ryan of Blue was 17-years-old when he became famous. People like Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, and Rihanna were only 16 when they made their first hits. Adults today were younger than them back then and thought they were old. This is just an illusion.
They have attitudes that adults don't like. They don't respect them because of their age.
Is there an adult who didn't have a problem with grown-ups when he/she was younger? We doubt it.
Young people are always with their phones at home, school, in the streets, and this is annoying, right?
The young people who didn't listen to the teachers and wrote notes to each other in class, played games on the computer if they had one at home, chatted on MSN or ICQ have become the adults of our days. If you look at it, even old people have their phones in their hands all the time.
Ripped pants, baggy clothes, combinations that are made with unmatching clothes like homeless people... The fashion of the youth is really interesting.
Adults don't even like the clothes they used to wear when they were young. What is fashion today is not fashion tomorrow; that's the rule.
Selenators, Beliebers... The youth is just crazy!
Exaggerating the admiration is not a thing of the youth today. That's how it's always been.
All their worry is their social media account, friendships, and their romantic relations. It seems like they're not preparing themselves for real life.
If they weren't raised in a problematic environment and don't have an exceptional life story, every youngster's problems shape around themselves. Generally, their world-view comes to being after high school, during university years.
Many people think the agenda of the youth is their love life. They're fast compared to their age and will have lots of time to have relationships in the future.
Maybe the way of doing it seems weird but people kept in touch with their partners by writing letters and later on sending SMS, so it's quite normal for people to do the same thing through social media. Exaggerations happen in every period but flirting is the nicest when you're young.
The biggest problem of young girls is their hair and makeup. They should be focusing on their lessons, not other things.
Only the possibilities changed. In every period, there were young girls using their mothers' makeup materials and doing their makeup in the school's bathroom.
They don't know what they want to be when they grow up. They don't know what they're good at.
Not everybody has their future planned at an early age. Adults have to think how many of their friends had a future plan when they were at middle or high school and how many of them actually succeeded.
They're rebellious and careless. They don't know anything about life yet talk about it as if they know everything and never listen to the experiences of adults, right?
That's why adults have to understand them. If adults remembered what they used to think about the people who were trying to give them advice when they were young, things would be different.
