Let me go I don't wanna be your hero I don't wanna be your big man I just wanna fight with everyone else/ Your masquerade I don't wanna be a part of your parade Everyone deserves a chance to Walk with everyone else/ While holding down A job to keep my girl around Maybe buy me some new strings And her a night out on the weekend/ We can whisper things Secrets from our American dreams Baby needs some protection But I'm a kid like everyone else

My Research Topic Generation Gap

Causes of Generation Gap parents’ interference in study/life forcing ideas on children finding fault with children not living up to parents’ expectations being reluctant to embrace new things sticking to outdated/traditional beliefs independence rather than overprotection children’s self-centeredness & immaturity lack of communication a growing desire for puppy love

Ways to bridge the generation gap having face-to-face communication shouldering responsibility/obligation striking a balance between study and play dealing with puppy love wisely cherishing the love from parents showing tolerance to each other mutual respect, trust and understanding keeping pace with fashion learn psychological counseling allowing children privacy & freedom
