1. What disagreements do teenagers often have with their parents?

Well, the most popular complaint that the majority of parents have is that their children spend way too much time with their noses buried /ˈberid/ in their phones. The age of smartphones has ensured that kids put their phones above almost everything else. Parents, however, worry that teens spending too much time on their phones lose out on family time and real human interaction. Plus, more complicated issues, like the types of friends children want to have or their attitudes about dating, can cause even bigger arguments, because their parents want to protect them and keep them safe, and feel that they are too young or too naive to date. 

2. What do young children tend to argue about with each other?

Well, literally everything. One of the most common disagreements between teenagers is probably when a secret is accidentally revealed. I mean, accidentally spilling the beans about a secret is definitely means for a slight argument or two. A friend can subtly feel betrayed, but deep down, she knows that her best friend wouldn’t do that on purpose. Besides, they can argue about their favorite band. There are lots of variations on this one, like who is the cutest in their favorite band, which band rocks harder, and what is the best song. Friends might even enjoy the same band and yet still argue about one of these topics.

3. How should young people communicate with old people?

Well, I think to communicate effectively with the elderly, the young need to make a connection with them physically and emotionally. Firstly, they should really listen to what the elders are saying. Don’t interrupt them or feel the urge to fill periods of silence that often occur during conversations. Besides, we should speak clearly and loudly enough for them to hear us, but do not shout, because the rate at which an older person hears is often much slower than that of a younger person. In addition, the best way to connect with someone is to ask questions. Many of us don’t ask our elders nearly enough about their lives and their stories. Just ask an elderly person about their childhood, then they can share with us their amazing life stories, real life adventures that they have lived through.
