The problem of the generation gap has always been very important for teenagers and for their parents as well.
There are lots of arguments about it.
The most serious drawback of the problem of the generation gap is the fact that children can’t tell parents about their troubles. So they feel stressed and feel lonely. There is the way out.
One one hand parents must remember the days when they were children. Moreover they begin to understand them better. On the other hand children must be more tolerant to their parents. They mustn’t forget that their fathers and mothers love them.
