Have you ever felt a generation gap with your friends? I haven't, I feel similar to my 29 year-old friends.
Do you feel like you can talk to your parents about anything? Or would you rather talk to your friends?

I'm fine with my friends save for the younger ones. No and for the most part, no.

It wasn't until this a few weeks ago that I realized some of my online friends and I are worlds apart. They're still in high school and dealing with teenage drama while I'm over hear struggling to pay student loans and rent. I can't talk to my buddies anymore about work, because they just tease and joke that I should be a stripper or something. I dunno.. I get along with my older friends, but I bet they think I'm a little childish too sometimes.

I've always gotten along with older people ever since I was young.

I'm not in good terms with my parents. Our opinion about my happiness happens to have some conflicts. So I rather talk to my best friend about everything. I literally do and I feel quite a burden but I know by the way she talks back to me, she cares. I'm more closer to my friend than my parents. I wish I had a good relationship with my parents but by the looks of it, it's never going to happen. =/

I can talk to my father about anything but never my mother since she always has a lecture in store for me about the simplest of things. It gets ridiculous after a while and it also irritates me. I would prefer to talk to one of my friends than talk to her because of that reason and that reason alone.

I don't talk to my friends or family about much of anything. I'm not going to tell them all the backstory...which means my family will side against me except one cousin who has been around enough to know the back story.

And my friends? I just don't want to bother them with it.

Hmm...sometimes it varies. Depends on the situation really.
Most of the time I talk to my friends about personal stuff, and usually I talk to my mom about school or me stuff...like physical stuff.

I find people who are older have more experience to help with problems, and that includes parents.
I feel comfortable talking to my mum about some things but she had very different problems when she was my age so sometimes it's hard.
She's always worrying that I will do the same things as my sisters...
Most of my friends are older than me and I find them easy to talk to

I don't have a lot
of friends that I can openly talk
to..maybe just two or one.

I stopped caring what my
parents thought of me the
moment I came out. Lol.
So, now I tell them everything.

But generation gaps? Nah, if its music wise
then talking to a 40 year old about music is
definitely awesome cause I collect
vinyls from the 30 - late 70s.

I can't talk with my parents over many issues because we are significantly different. My friends are great, but since many of them come from college and I waited until after my 3rd kid was born, there is definitely an age gap between us... but we have more in common so I would much rather go to them than my parents.

I feel a generation gap with people my age. ^^'

I'm pretty good with older and younger people....
With older people, I can be mature (YES, I can be, so shush XD) and they respect that... so it's easy to please the suckers :lol:
With the younger kids, I can act more myself, being fun and silly and just weird all the time playing with them.
For some reason though, I can only deal with really really young kids, like once they're pre-teen or close to that, I just hate them. In my area , they try to act like... like... Well, the people on Jersey Shore. It makes me sick.
As for the parent thing -- NO. I don't trust them with anything. They have never given me reasons to trust them. I don't trust anyone in my family, period.
Talking with my friends is better -- they always help me out and gimme advice, so I love them to death. I'd probably do anything for them; they're just too good. They're the family I will never have.

I feel like I have nothing in common with people my own age, really. It actually gets pretty frustrating at times.

Where I live, it seems like teenagers are so obnoxious and stupid, especially the girls. The vast majority of them are extremely rude and superficial, and they honestly just get on my nerves whenever I have to be around them.

Most everyone here is into reality television, wearing pajama pants and Ugg boots every day, and a lot of the girls get pregnant by high school age... if that gives you the general idea of what they're like. I, on the other hand, spend a lot of my time writing poetry, refuse to watch television or own a cell phone, and dress in corsets and long skirts a lot of the time. Needless to say, I don't really have much in common with people my age.

Really, though, I don't feel that I have much in common with people in general. Perhaps it comes from, truthfully, having very little contact with actual human beings in the first place, but most of the time I feel that I have nothing much to contribute to conversations with "normal people."

I only really feel it online, due to the fact it takes away my ability to connect to people the way i like to intrinsically. Very rarely do i ever feel segregated from my older friends, of which i have many, through the course of my job. That said, my parents aren't easy to talk to about something, but that's more born from a clash of personal opinion than an 'age gap' issue in most cases.

My boyfriend is 6 years older than I am, and very rarely does it show. Sometimes he'll say things that don't make sense to me, but I know whatever he's doing or saying comes with age and experience that I don't have yet. It stood out more when I was 15 and stubborn, but now that I'm turning 21 its not as noticeable.
I get along with my parents and would talk to them about anything, especially my mom. But again, there's that generation gap. Like my religious beliefs are totally different, I'm a liberal and she's very conservative, even my tattoos were a huge point of tension between us. I don't think it can be helped though. No matter how similar my mother and I are, there's decades between us. I sort of think that's just normal.

I used to talk to my friends a lot more about stuff when I was younger. I had a bit of a crisis in ninth grade or so because my mom had no idea how hard of a time I was having at school because I never talked to her about it. I think we talked a bit more after she realized but it wasn't until I want to college that I really started calling her up for advice about things. Now that I've graduated, my friends and I have sort of gone our separate ways so my parents are the only ones I really have to rely on apart from my fiance so I usually call them whenever I'm stuck trying to figure something out.

I'm usually the youngest person in the groups I hangout with now so it surprises me when I run into people and discover they're a few years younger than I am. But I'm sure that will happen more and more as I age.

As a child, I always felt pretty comfortable talking with adults or kids older than me, so I don't usually have trouble fitting in with those a generation or more older than me. Also, because I'm a teacher, I spend a lot of time talking to kids a generation younger than myself as well. However, my closer friends do tend to be very similar in age to me.

As for my parents, I think my mom and I get along really well. I'm confident that I could call her and ask for advice no matter what the situation is. I'm not as close to my dad, but I don't doubt that he would support me to. It's just that we have less in common so I typically talk to my mom more whenever I call home.

I feel the generation gap really badly with both my parents and my grandparents. I had got along really well with them until i started to mature a bit more and become more opioninated so now i have some real troubles trying to make them understand my point of view and such.
