Why Don,t My Parents Understand Me?
Why Don't My Parents Understand Me? There are many reasons why parents might not understand their youth. Here are a few: - Generational differences: Your parents grew up in a different time, with different values and experiences. - Communication barriers: You and your parents might not be speaking the same language (literally or figuratively). - Different perspectives: You and your parents might have different views on life, making it hard to see eye-to-eye. Personal Stories We spoke with several young people about their experiences with feeling misunderstood by their parents. Here are their stories: - "I felt like my parents didn't understand me because they were always so busy. They didn't have time to listen to me or understand what I was going through." - Rachel, age 19 - "I struggled to connect with my parents because we had different interests. They didn't understand why I loved music and art, and I didn't understand why they loved sports."
