Young people often think that adults are outdated. Sometimes they may be right, but there are times when we young people are wrong. This is because adults have ideas, knowledge, and experiences that young people do not have, and young people also have modern technology knowledge and open minds. So let’s see where the differences between adults and young people are. Rather than who is better, we aim to work together based on our own strengths.
Thinking
Adults think carefully about a matter, considering the possible consequences, the benefits, and the potential for loss. That’s why they are more thorough and make fewer mistakes. However, there are instances when they overthink, waste excessive time, and overlook opportunities. Young people are impulsive and often make decisions quickly without thinking too much. Sometimes there are right times and wrong times. In other words, they don’t calculate much, so they make more mistakes. However, by learning from those mistakes, young people mature in their thinking and gain experience.
Life experience
In this regard, adults are more mature. There are some who have experienced a lot when they were young, but usually adults have made more mistakes, have experienced more, and have been through more, so they know people better. They understand life better. That is why they warn young people not to make the same mistakes as them, saying, “Don’t do this; what will happen if you don’t do this?”. Not all things are always the same, so sometimes there are wrong times, but we should respect the warnings and life experiences of adults. If we only pay attention to warnings and advice from their experience and think about them, it can be very helpful for young people.
New challenges
When it comes to changes, young people are generally more receptive to change than adults. Adults tend to stick to traditional methods rather than new changes, so it is the reason why young people get angry when adults argue at home. For adults, they prefer old methods rather than facing new challenges, accepting new changes, and taking risks, so young people are much better at innovation. Therefore, when it comes to changes and challenges, young people need to be understanding.
Emotion
We young people are very emotional. Except for some mature people, we are very easily hurt, easily depressed, depressed, sad, crying, angry, etc. We young people are the ones who have sensitive and changeable emotions. However, adults are more experienced and mature. So they are stronger and have much better control over their emotions than young people. They think wisely according to the situation rather than acting on their emotions, so when it comes to emotions, young people have a lot to learn from adults to not act impulsively.
What really matters
There are many important things in young people’s lives, such as freedom, happiness, money, friends, hobbies, etc. When you are young, you tend to get carried away by your own desires. So you forget what is really important and what you should do. As you grow older, you will understand what is really important in life and what you should really do. So when adults give advice, you should not think that it is unimportant, but you should really understand what they mean.
Adaptability
Although the degree to which you can adapt varies depending on your personality, in general, young people are more adaptable than adults. Because they welcome change and are interested in new things, young people are more adaptable in new places. They can try to adapt as much as possible to their local environment. So in this regard, young people are more adaptable.
