=Differences in age Groups= by Audrey A

In our community there are many different age groups, and each of these age groups have different advantages and disadvantages. The different age groups also have many different rights. The four age groups that have the most differenced between each other and the senior citizens, the high school and college students, the toddlers, and the parents. I believe that these four age groups, or ranges of age have the least amount of things in common. The following information will prove it.

I’d like to start with the toddlers. People are always sweet to the toddlers. Today’s day in age, many toddlers are demanding, and extremely spoiled. These children later can turn into rude, spoiled rotten, brats because their parents spoil them by giving them everything that they want. These children also receive a lot of attention which many people like, and everything that they want. Toddlers can also be a nuisance.

The high school students, and the college student are in the same group because they go through a lot of the same things. They get pressured into drinking under aged, drinking and driving, and doing drugs. In this age group, at the age of sixteen they receive their drivers license, at the age of eighteen they are given the right to vote, and finally at the age of twenty one they are given the right to drink alcoholic beverages. These rights are all a sign of maturity, but when these rights are taken advantage of, like often they are, it begins to give you a mark of immaturity. The high school, and college students need to look out for their reputations.

The parents is a more broader age group, but often they are treated in the same way. Very often we find that the parents have a label. Some parents are labeled as the bad, or stupid parents because they spoil their children, or abuse their children. Some parents are considered good parents because they are supportive, helpful, and would never harm a thing. Many parents have similar labels. Parents are also labeled by their responsibility. If a parent is poorly labeled, it might cost them their child.

And last, but not least, the senior citizens. The senior citizens have many advantages compared to the other age groups ,or ranges of age. There are senior discounts, or senior specials. Seniors are also among the small group of people are allowed to have social security. People are also very helpful with senior citizens. If a person sees a senior citizen that is in need of help often a complete stranger will give the senior some assistance. Although life is hard for senior citizens there are always kind people around to make their life a little easier.

All of these four age groups have different advantages and disadvantages, but in the end, most of us will have gone through all of the age groups, or age ranges. Even though we might have been a problem child, or a bad parent, in our senior years people will be still helpful and kind, and our discounts and specials will still be there. Although the toddlers, the high school and the college students, the parents, and the senior citizens live different lives, and have very few things in common, we are all still humans.
