Dear Editor,
I am writing in connection with your article which was published on 6th May in „The MSD”.
I am of different opinion because I think that young people are not rude and selfish. It is true that they are self-confident, but it is the best advantage I think. It is important to believe in that you are right and you will manage.
Teenagers are really hard-working and well-organized. They take part in many competitions and are motivated. Positive is it that teenagers are brave and helpful, because they are not ashamed of getting well with elderly people and helping.
Nowadays teenagers must change the world to better. They should be very responsible for the environment, because it is important to protect this.
What about generation gap? Young people have an arguments with their parents, but they usually try to get on well with grandparents. Grandparents can try to explain teenagers that they are the most important in their parents’ life.. I think that it is a good way, but there is one condition – parents must also try to understand their children. People who are adult usually do not remember their adolescence. Elderly people have a lot of time and often mention the time when they were going to school. They have no job and are able to spend more time with young people who need to talk about their problems, friends, emotions and feelings. Nowadays parents meet their children only at evening when they come back from the job and at morning when they eat breakfast. There is only one question which they ask to their children – “what about the school?” Parents should be more organized and spend more time with their children.
I am happy to be able to share my views with other readers and hope that you will publish more articles about this problem.
Yours faithfully,
XYZ
