main & effective sources are:\nteacher\nparents\nother elders in the family & around\nsaminars organised in schools\nsome programs based on them can also be seen\nthe main thing that is missing in our society is lack of communication. elders avoid talking on such topics to their kids & to the younger generation which creates prob.\nmain source is communication bet elder people & the younger generation...

I think that we should treat the elderly with kindness and consideration that we would show anyone else. You know these people have a lot to offer us and if we take the time to listen...we just might figure out where we will be in our old age. Treat them as though they have been on this planet long enough to know a thing or two.  Ask them questions about their youth, about their children their life experiences in general.  I have a few older friends  and they probably are some of the coolest people I know. Do yourself a favor...when you ask a question...be sure to listen...it is almost like unwrapping a gift you never knew you wanted.\nCherish the old...experiences don't change as much as the era's do.....you will be surprised at how similar you might be to an older person!!!

Nothing, it is an advantage as long as what you are seeking is someone who thinks young but is an old girl.

Once you have the basics learned, you have learned how to learn.  The young person is now a teacher, and his best student will always be himself.  He can learn everyday of his life.  He is at his best and brightest with each passing moment.

You're never too old to learn something new.  Go for it

Yes, and its good to be able to give constructive help to younger people, as we can recall on our past experiences and knowledge.\n This works to our advantage if it assists someone else to tread an easier path in life or helps solve a personal hang up.

Senior citizens are a wealth of untapped knowledge and wisdom of any civilization.  We as a people can't know where we are going unless we know where we came from.  By tapping into their wisdom we can learn from past mistakes via first hand knowledge sometimes people can teach you what not to do as well as what to do.  Since we all are going to be senior citizens one day, or we hope to be, it would behoove us to recognize their value.

Youths are still learning.  It is important to learn as much as you can about your world while you are still young enough to have an open mind.  I don't think you need to worry.  I think you will find the youths of your country are patriotic and that the time spent was not wasted, rather it was time learning.  There are great things ahead for all of us and I can tell you in my generation as we are all about to turn 40, now we can see some of our peers doing some really interesting things.  20s you learn, 30s you have babies, 40 you make the world a better place - there is time enough for everything.

The interests of people above 60 are really not much different than those younger - travel, friends, music, movies, sex, food, etc.  The biggest difference is that they usually have the experience, wisdom, time, and money to enjoy these interests without the worries and anxiety of youth.  Not always, but usually.

Old enough to know what you are doing, why you are doing it and the risks/possible consequences involved.

Stop buying into the "youth culture" on TV, ads, etc.  Live day-to-day and hope that with age you've acquired wisdom; wisdom will never fade like looks will.  Don't regret your past decisions.  Love nature - it is the only truth on this planet.  Help others.  Don't lie, exaggerate or embellish.  Honor your own opinions.

Older people have a wider pool of experience to draw from.  I don't know anything specifically about your older friends, but there are some things I would do differently if I had the chance to do them over again.  My life is okay, but I believe it would be a  lot better if I had finished college.  That's just one example.  It's not that younger people are dumb, they just haven't had 20, 30, 40 years of making good and bad decisions to avoid making mistakes based on previous knowledge.

Of course adults should try to teach the next generation.  The passing on of knowledge is one of our primary purposes on Earth.  Leaving the next generation to learn for themselves eliminates the possibility of building on our knowledge for a better tomorrow.  If each generation had to reinvent the wheel we never would have gotten to the car.

get younger friends. please for your own sake because if you don't you'll miss some pretty important lessons that you'll need for later in life.

I learned that in psychology and sociology communication is needed for growth of your mind, especially in younger children.\nAnd plus its great to communicate, how would you ever learn anything if you didn't??

I think they should appreciate all you have to offer, as they say, with age comes wisdom.\nAfter reading a thousand questions, its easy to see, there are a lot of young ones, out there, who need that help and wisdom.\nForget the naysayers, there are plenty of them, and appreciate the ones that can learn from your experience.
