Some people think that teenagers should follow the example of older people. Others think that it is natural for teenagers to challenge what older people say. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The notion concerning the difference between the thinking of today's
generation
and old ones seems to trigger a considerable debate. An opinion in
this
regard, put forward by a cluster of like-minded people, is that the instructions set by old persons must be followed by the youngsters. Others,
however
, do not follow the suit and believe that it is in the nature of teens to contradict the thoughts of older ones. I entirely agree with the former statement. The proponents of the former statement assert that they should follow old persons because they not only have vast experience of life but

to deal with many issues. To be clearer, the previous
generation
always sets a number of examples for the new
generation
not to repeat the same mistake.
Therefore
, just by looking into
such
matters new generations can survive in their bad periods. Tata motors- an Indian automobile giant,
for instance
, was about to bankrupt when the new
generation
started introducing new concepts, later, by following the instructions of Rana Tata, founder of Tata, it gained its position in the market again. Others,
nevertheless
, feel teens always follow their own rules while challenging previous generations because of their immaturity. To be precise, adolescents often feel more confident and smarter than others, especially grey-haired persons, because of immaturity and high energy level; meanwhile, they forget to listen to their older ones.
Consequently
, youngsters end up often to a huge loss; they find it hard to accept
such
unfavourable circumstances. A piece of advice, from an old aged known, in
