Report

Introduction

The principal purpose of this report is t provide a discussion on how young people where I live feel about older people in the community and the prospect of growing old themselves.

Current Situation

Nowadays many teenagers seem to be disrespectful on older people in some aspects. Nevertheless, I conducted interviews with local teenagers and I made a survey on how they think about old people and growing old themselves. Most of those responding to the survey stated that young people admire their old figures as their grandparents and they see them as an example to follow. On the other hand, most of them are extremely afraid of growing old, assuming responsibilities and not being able to have their same way of life as they used to have.

Factors to improve some attitudes

Most of teens are worried about what to do in the future, which career to choose at university and how are they going to manage their lives. In addition, many of them are not living the present and are worried about a job. Consequently, they do not live the moment.

Recommendation

Clearly, there are many ways to change some attitudes against growing old. Nevertheless, I would make the following recommendation:

• You only live once, live the present and enjoy every moment.
• Work hard to achieve your projects but do not get frustrated if they are difficult, keep trying.

This last will help young people to follow their dreams and never forget what they want.
