I got a terrible headache due to some troubles that I'm fighting with my mom and dad every single day. They have the old-fashioned opinions about the way that a Vietnamese woman HAVE TO live but I DON'T want to be that kind of woman at this time. I don't claim that I will be better than other Vietnamese women, I just want TO BE MYSELF.
:(
It's a generation gap between I and my parents. The differences between us are the normal things in our life and they happen every day. It will take a long long time to make them understand my choices. Fighting with them doesn't mean I disrespect them. I just want to defend my opinions and persuade them with my new decision. The time that I have to agree with all their choices and decisions is over.
The concept of generation gap is worthwile to mention because the way people overcome or submit the generation gap will influence the way they think and the way they live. My mom had to agree with me that she used to fight with my grandma about her choice to be a soldier when she was at the same age with me. However, the generation gap is widening due to the rapid growth of the space of life. That's why our differeces are more serious and it's harder to make my parents understand me.
Take it easy but seriously. It's easy to understand that there're always differences between different generations. But it should be considered seriously to find the way to overcome those gaps.
