Gray Hair And Wrinkles!

1. I remember walking past a high-school
there were a bunch of teenagers more males
then that of females.
As I walking past their school city bus stop,
I heard what they were talking about their parents
and grand parents.

2. Here's what I heard:
"My Mom and Dad and My Grand Mom and Grand Dad
"they are all Old-Fashion and Out dated!"

3. I don't know if your teenagers have said the same thing
in your nation?
Teenagers will come to a point where they think
they know more than their parents and grand parents,
when they come to that point where they think
they know-it-all,
that's when they close their ears to what parents and grand parents
are talking to them about.
When an argument breaks out between teenagers and parents
and grand parents,
I've noted one the first things parents and grand parents
will say to their teenagers.
"Many years ago I use to be a teenager."

4. I've heard teenagers call old people,
"old bag, old woman, old man,
bald headed pool ball,
those teenagers have a word
for every situation that happens."
In a certain place in the Middle-East
people that are almost up to
a hundred years old they're called "young people."
They don't believe in degrading people because of age.
In my book in the United States
I call youngsters!

5. On Pinterest I had seen a man at 91 years
he was exercising he was just quick as a teenager!

6. Adam brought in the gray hair and the wrinkles
took away our long life expectancy.
Just because we all different nations of men
have premature gray hair and wrinkles that
doesn't define us!
Just because you're a teenager
that doesn't automatically make you out
to 'Know-It-All!'

7. If good God had granted me a wish
here's what I would wish for.
"I wish you could give us all long life expectancy to all nations and don't permit
wrinkles and gray hair to happen to all nations."
"When we get laid into our casket that's when gray hair
and wrinkles are permitted to join with us."

Just because a man or a woman walks slow
that doesn't Define them!
They're not old!
They're Youngsters!

8. What's wrong here especially in the United States
you teenagers need to know,
your mom and dad and grand dad and grand mother
had raised you.
Why would you have the gall to call them
"Old Fashion and Out Dated?"

Parents and grand parents also say that about themselves . I’m guilty of that if I’m good mood and a teenager says I’m old I usually agree but I also say to them I’m not so old that I can’t kick your butt and get some laughs. If I’m in a bad mood I’ll tell them just wait in several years, you’ll be where I’m at. I don’t take it that serious to them we are old

they are young it’s the truth. I always told my kids. That I would keep up with them. I would always listen to their music try and watch what they watched on TV once again times change they liked the loud music and to me the strange movies but then again when I was their age, I liked the loud music and what I call strange movies
Then along came cell phones, social media, etc. etc.. The teenagers know all about electronics some of us don’t some of us don’t even believe in cell phones so that could be called outdated. I or old fashion

I don’t know when this happened, but it happened. My children have now taken on the role of thinking they’re my parent I’m only 60 years old, I don’t need them to parent me. I believe my children have good intentions and they’re looking out for me. Do you think any teenager likes to look at their parents and see wrinkles on their face? From my experience, my children don’t like to see me growing older, but they know that’s a fact of life.
They changed their lives because now they look out for me with the best of intentions .As long as they’re not being disrespectful, I just ignore it. I have to disagree with you and a lot of parts of your poems. I see many many people here in California help the elders I’ve seen them carry groceries help them cross the street give them rides etc. etc.. come on be honest some of us are outdated, so what? some of us are old fashion. Teenagers should be able to speak their minds and opinions about people ageing my children we always welcome to give their opinions or debate with us,
It’s part of growing or even aging . They are encouraged to speak they need to speak their minds like we do .

my kids they have minds of their own .they’re not dumb. I don’t think they mean me to be ignorant or rude . We’re the ones who can be ignorant and right most times . Some can say we use our old age as an excuse.to talk about the younger generation Times are always changing. How about all the teenagers that are committing suicide times must be rough on them because the suicide rate among teenagers is climbing. If that’s all you have to say about teenagers that’s pretty darn good. Truth be told that is the circle of life we come into this world as infants and we grow and we teach our children to grow and then they teach their children how to grow so in the end we all get old even the teenagers.

That is the sign of the times.
Most American teenagers have no respect for adults.
We have lost our way. The "village" is no longer there to teach, discipline, and commune, together for a better society.
