问答题 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of misunderstandings between them. 16 They have always complained that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis.
17 It is universally acknowledged that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also fade in their memory how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. 18 They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted so they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritates their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes they are resistant and proud because they do not want their parents to approve of what they do. If their parents did approve, it looks as if they are betraying their own age group. But in that case, they are assuming that they are the underdog: you can"t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. 19 It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when they were completely under their parents" domination. But it ignores the fact that they are now beginning to be responsible for themselves.
My advice to young people is as follows: if you plan to control your life, cooperation can be pan of that plan. 20 You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
