▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that grand parents can
give proper advice to their grandchildren due to their life experience.
However, in my opinion, they cannot give good advice to their grandchildren.
This because the era they lived is different from now. Also when children have
a problem, they tend to talk with their friends.
First, grandparents thought would be too
old. Many things have changed for decades. Let’s say that there was something
that was important in grandparents’ era. However, it is not fit this society
anymore. People’s thought, behavior and something like that have been changed
by rapid social revolution. For example, when I was in elementary school, I
lived with my parents and grandmother. So I had many time with my grandma and
talked to her much. One day, when I told her my anxiety about relationship of
my friends, she listened to me carefully and gave some advice about that. After
that day, I followed my grandmother’s advice and my friends thought I was
strange. Their priority and thought were different from what she told me. As a
result, I could not solve that problem with the advice and later, I resolved it
with help from another friend
Second, nowadays, children spend much time
with their friends and they rely on them. So when they have a problem, they are
inclined to consult with friends. This is because young people hang out with their
friends they can understand their worry, mind and situation better so they can
get more helpful advice. There was a survey conducted by Seoul National University.
The respondents were middle school students and the purpose was to confirm how
children obtain some advice when they need. The majority of students consulted
their anxiety with their most friendly friend first. An overwhelming 90%
responded that a friend was the first they found out. This was mainly because
they spend lots of time together so they can rely on each other.
To sum up, the advice from the time of
grandparent does not fit on modern society. Moreover, children prefer to get
advice from friends better. In this regard, I think that grandparents are not
able to give helpful advice to their grandchildren
