=__What Adults Don’t Get About the Change of Time__=

= = P Adults just don’t get it. Don’t you agree?

They think that we teens should be just like how they were when they were growing up.

Yeah right!

Times have changed since those days of black and white, and so has the lifestyle of teenagers.

Everything from clothing styles, to dating, and to the level of respect for elders has changed tremendously over generations.

P Teenagers of the current generation have a completely different clothing style from what our parents had.

When our parents were teenagers clothing was much for conservative. **i think you mean much more conservative1205199371**

Dresses were longer, shirts were looser, everything was much less revealing.

Today’s styles are simply much more sexually oriented.

Skirts are shorter, shirts are tighter, more skin is shown, and it is all totally acceptable.

Things have gone from ultra-conservative to borderline skanky.

Sometimes as I am ready to walk out the door my parents tell me to go change because my skirt is too short, my top is too revealing, I have too much make up on, and the list goes on!

They just do not understand that styles have changed from when they were teenagers.

P Whenever I tell my parents that I am going out to see a movie with some of my male friends, they always ask me which one I’m dating.

They don’t realize that going somewhere with a person of the opposite sex does not mean we are dating.

Then, if I try to explain to them that so and so are “together”, they get even more confused because they don’t understand our teen lingo.

Being “together” with someone does not mean you are going out, like a boyfriend and girlfriend.

It simply means the two people like each other, but are not officially dating.

P Over the years, the amount of respect that teenagers have shown for adults has dropped significantly.

This is caused by a change of attitude that has been driven by what we have been exposed to in television shows, movies and the Internet.

The days of watching //My Three Sons// and //Leave It To Beaver// are long gone.

Teens speak more freely than they used to.

Kids used to just accept what adults told them without asking the inevitable question, “Why?”

Of course, today’s parents consider that to be disrespectful.

Particularly when kids stick up for themselves and vocalize their point of view.

It is not a matter of being disrespectful, it is simply that as young adults we are trying to express our opinions to our parents.

Unfortunately, it is most often looking upon as being disrespectful.

As said in an article//, Why Do Adults Hold Teenagers and Children in Such Low Esteem,// “Children are often presents as violent, dangerous and disrespectful toward adults.”

P As time has changed, so has the environment that we have been raised in.

This means that the styles of clothing that we wear, the relationships that we have with our peers and the level of respect that teenagers appear to have for adults have all changed.

Some adults simply do not understand why things have changed because things are so different from when they were growing up.

Although we were not present while our parents were growing up, I assume that they viewed the comments and reactions of their parents much like we view the comments and reactions of our parents today.

While all of these things change from generation to generation, the one thing that seems to be constant is that parents and their teenage young adults never seem to see eye-to-eye in these ever-changing matters of growing up.
