Сократить топик there is no doubt that the problem of parents and children is one of the most pressing issues in the modern world. some people think that it is impossible to overcome differences between members of different generations, while others insist that people of different generations can meet each other halfway and even become bosom friends. it is not uncommon that some parents often disapprove of their children's musical preferences, clothing styles, political views and choice of friends. in my opinion, misunderstandings between parents and children cause many problems and may lead to serious conflicts. one simple solution that can be put forward is frank and open deep conversation. hence, parents should understand that every child is an individual and that to err is human. besides, some parents put much pressure on their children to perform well at school. in my view, parents should make children aware of the importance of study in their life, but they should not punish them for bad grades. i am convinced that the main task of every parent is to teach children the difference between right and wrong and to establish trust relationship with them. so, parents must express deep concern, be careful, sincere, loving and heedful of advice. they must also go with the times in order to understand their adolescents better and not be too exacting and adamant. it should be also noted that nowadays the factors of generation differences are disappearing. lots of parents listen to the same music, wear the same clothes and spend as much time on social networking as their children do. on the other hand, there are people who insist that the problem of generation gap cannot be solved. according to their opinion, teenagers today are rude, cruel, lazy and ill-mannered. most of them are addicted to gambling, computer, alcohol or drugs. moreover, experts say that the cases of juvenile delinquency have been on the rise over the past years. in my judgment, one of the reasons for this problem is lack of moral values or attention. moreover, the contributing factors of juvenile delinquency include poverty, parental divorce, domestic violence and corporal punishment. however, it becomes evident that all of them refer to the family conflicts. in my judgment it is precisely the family environment that constitutes a root problem. experts say that most delinquents come from problem families. their parents are often violent, cruel or abuse alcohol and drugs. in turn, their children show rebellious behavior and stop obeying them. all in all, i think that all parents should better try to protect their adolescents from bad influences and give a helping hand rather than lecture them or decrease their self-esteem. i still strongly believe that people can bridge the generation gap by means of communication and mutual understanding.
