Why do adults  have problems getting along with different people and children don't?

The reason why children are called "impressionable" is because at that age, their genes are still learning how to react to the world. They accept almost everything as good, no matter how bad it is. Then they learn behavior as they get older, so when they get to be adults they have set beliefs and patterns thay they find difficult to let go, especially if these beliefs are rooted in strong emotion. Most of the time, our genes try to get us to avoid things that they interpret as "unacceptable", and our genes have absurdly high standards. That's why we tend to get so hostile to other people even over such little things, such as disagreeing whether or not a movie was good, or whether another person is handsome.

People refuse to accept differences and thus tend to not accept others into their "group".  This is a common thread through many cultures, and has different aspects such as prejudice and just plain not getting along.  Different tribes of Native Americans for example called their own tribe "the people" and didn't think of the other tribes in the same way.  It's this wall put up against the feared different people that don't fit into our understanding of ways we think we ought to behave, that causes wars, separations of nations, and racism, versus the overcoming of these differences to accept us as human.

Because intelligence is threatening and causes most people to compare themselves to you. Alot of adults will treat a child who is smart more like a child to ensure they know their "place". An adult wont likely want to give up their "authority" in a situation and one way to gain authority is to know more than someone. So again, they will feel the need to "put you in your place" so to speak. Its unfortunate, however only lasts for a little while.

Sometimes people just aren't good together, you can get along and all that but sometimes being together just doesn't work and trying over and over isn't going to make it work when it just isn't meant to.

They are uncomfortable with your differences.  Sensitive people are easy to hurt and there lots of people out there who have fun hurting other's feelings.\n\nIt's difficult but necessary to become less sensitive.  Over time being exposed to the insensitivity of others will harden you.

Some people don't have any respect for other's piece of mind, period. A well-behaved child is such a rarity these days. Polite society is becoming extinct.

Adults used to be kids, and when you see brothers, sisters, or old friends, it brings you back to those times, you fall back into old habits and mannerisms from when you were younger. \n\nWe are all young at heart ;)

They've grown up learning to hate or be prejudiced against certain types of people based on the color of their skin, where they live, how much money they make, etc. Hate is learned. Look at little kids. They don't care about those things. And if they're never exposed to it they'll always take people at face value. Children learn what they live. If the adults in their lives hate, the children will learn to hate. Conversely, if the adults are tolerant of the differences in others, the children will be tolerant too.\n\nJesus told us to do unto others as we would have others do unto us. The Golden Rule. I try to live that way.\n\nGod Bless!

A poor upbringing can explain a lot - for instance, racist parents beget racist children when the "adults" make such comments in normal, everyday conversation with friends and neighbors. Their kids grow up thinking it's "normal" for everyone to speak that way. \n\nFor most people, the first 18 years of your life is molded on a daily basis by "Mom and Dad" or whatever parental figures/guardians are in the home. Whatever they "teach," be it directly or indirectly, is what you grow up thinking is "normal." If they're negative, you'll probably end up that way as well.

Everyone can't get along all the time. It's part of being alive, fighting. They actually say that fighting is healthy for you, it helps you vent. What's the point of having one of those relationships where you never get mad at the other person? It's not the way to live!! You fight with anyone.. you're mother, father, siblings, friends, even strangers. Of course lovers are going to fight.. doesn't mean that don't love each other though.

If they are constantly fighting or even if there is just constant tension then that's worse for the kids in the long run.\n\nIf they are happier apart then it will be better in the long run for the kids. I just wish people would think more seriously about the state of their relationships before leaping into having children.

Hmmm...I think it's because they want people to treat them like adults,but they still don't know what to do exactly when they have a problem. So they think they're too mature to get help from an adult,but they can't fix the problem by themselves,so they just run away from the problem

That's not always true. People have different personalities and it's just who they are.

because people are small minded and cant accept the fact that people may be different from them and even though they are they have feelings of their own.
