Yuvenoyya - "fear of Youth": how to live with it

What a strange word is - "yuvenoyya"?

Yuvenoyya - is the fear felt by the older generation to the young.

The term "yuvenoyya" in 2010 proposed a sociologist David Finkelhor (David Finkelhor). Many people have never heard of the word, but know exactly that feeling.

When you look at the teenager and think you have behaved much better, and indeed adolescents currently have no those - this is yuvenoyya.

How does "fear of Youth"?

Differently. For example, it is possible to think that today's young people brought up is worse than the previous generation. Many believe that young people today are prone to violence. Also, there is a belief that teens are vain and too much time is taken to succeed in online communities, rather than in "real" life.

But the older generation unanimous yuvenoyi manifestations. The symptoms are many, but some of them are the most common. For example, young people accused of that:

• listening to the "wrong" music,
• is "strange" clothes,
• It takes "false" life decisions.

However, the behavior of the majority of adolescents can not be considered provocative, dangerous or unreliable. A trend, which today are afraid of the older generation, in tune with the changes that took place in their time, and frightened their grandparents.

Maybe yuvenoyi does not exist?

Science believes that "the fear of youth" still exists. We are always afraid of what they do not understand. Adults who may be wary of the young. Of course, we try to deal with this fear and individual differences between themselves and the younger generation still accept. Despite this, yuvenoyya makes adults perceive teenagers as hedonistic zombies, unable to withstand the slightest impulse.

Still, where does this fear?

Fear does not come from nowhere. Today's young people are too keen on smartphones, too politically correct, too tolerant.

It seems that sometimes it is too close to that, to bring all the worst things in society.

Teenagers are selfish and ambitious: today going to finish his first novel, tomorrow to go to a secret party, and on Saturday to take a position in the new CEO of a startup. So the appearance of yuvenoyi is understandable.

Why fight yuvenoyey useless?

Yuvenoyya always existed: it is almost impossible to overcome.

If you are just going to closely monitor what is happening with the younger generation, including your children, you will be able to overcome the negative thoughts that cause yuvenoyya. Among them may be such doubts:

• I do not know if my child gets into bad company;
• I do not understand what "breathes" my child;
• I do not understand the youth of today;
• I can not help my child, because I do not know him.

Yuvenoyey fight is not worth it, you need to learn to deal with some of its manifestations.

The older generation need to make friends with this kind of paranoia. But why?

Yuvenoyya - this is normal. The older generation of teens and virtually incompatible, because they share stories, technologies, and trends.

In our time, the fear of the older generation towards the millenialam only gaining momentum, but it is completely wrong. No one may be kept under a storm of criticism. Young people do not deserve censure on the part of the elders.

according to statisticsYoung people today are much smarter, more organized and conscious than their parents. The representatives of the younger generation are focused on creating a family, career and self development.

Youth - the future. The fact that today is the feeling yuvenoyi, society moves forward. So that adults should get rid of resentment and a closer look at the younger generation.
