Final answer:
Children are growing up quickly and dressing older. We are being left behind by new technology. Respect for money has replaced respect for wisdom and knowledge.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Children are growing up much too quickly today. Girls of twelve dress as if they are eighteen.
2. We are being left behind by all the new technology they use.
3. They probably work harder than us, but they don't have so much fun.
4. They live longer and longer and expect to be looked after. It's not fair.
5. Our parents aren't so different from us: they listen to the same music, for example.
6. In recent years old values like respect for wisdom and knowledge have been replaced by respect for money.
7. I rebelled against my parents. My children feel that they are expected to rebel, but in fact they have nothing to complain about or rebel against.
8. We are often criticized for being selfish and having no moral values, but that's our parents' fault: we were spoiled by them.
