My Generation

            
             There is a wide range of differences that have occurred from generation to generation. Most of them are issues between my parent's generation and my generation, "Generation T." The generation of today has seen many advancements in technology from palm pilots to the world of virtual reality. Technology has even gone as far as creating a robotic dog that behaves just like a real dog. Technology is not the only area that makes our generation different from any other. Our generation has also seen many changes in the style of living such as marriage, dating and even the responsibilities we take on. .
             Marriage in past generation such as my parent's generation was seen as more of a sacred ritual than it is today. Many couples back then married at a very young age and have maintained healthy marriages throughout their lives. My parents decided to get married after I was born; my mom was sixteen and my dad was 17. They have been married now for 20 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. In today's generation people are not marrying as young but the divorce rate is higher than ever. Many married couples today get married for the wrong reasons or they decide to bail rather than work their problems out. .
             Another difference between my generation and my parent's generation is the dating guidelines. In the past it was unheard of for a girl or boy to hangout at each other's houses. Kids had to sneak around and lie to their parents about where they were going and with whom they were hanging out. Today some parents allow their sons or daughters to sleep over their boyfriend or girlfriend's house. Half of the parents today don't even know where their children are at half the time.
             Finally, the responsibilities of today's generation has decreased tremendously. In my parent's generation young adults had to pay for their own expenses, clothing, and cars. Some young adults had to take care of their younger siblings while the parents were at work and they also had more chores to do around the house.
