Why do people from older generations look much older than their equivalent age peers today?
This topic fascinates me and I wonder how much research, if any, has been done in this area. You don’t have to go back to the 1930’s to see the difference. Any high school yearbook you look at from early twentieth century to about 1986 or ’87 you will notice that the seniors almost all look like mature adults - probably what 30 looks like now. The change seemed to begin and was really noticeable in my class (1988). High school seniors today look like kids, whereas those before 1988 looked like adults. It’s not the clothes, the hair, or trying to look older. You see the differences in the faces alone. I was just looking at some high school yearbook photos online from 1978–79 and it’s very clear that the teenagers of that generation look considerably older than the teens today. I believe it has something to do with nutrition - are we really healthier today than back then? With all the diabetes, obesity, cancer and heart disease now, you would think that wasn’t the case. There is so much processed food today - maybe even more so than before. I can’t say for sure, which is why research needs to be done. What could cause the aging process in an entire generation to slow down? What happened in the food supply or environment around 1970 (birth year of the class of ‘88)?
My Grandad is a Pedophile?
My mum recently told me that he sexually abused my mum and her sister (my aunt) when they were little children. The extent of the abuse was very severe (rape etc) and because of this my mum became very depressed later in life and in her later teen years tried to commit suicide. Although my Grandad and Nan live in Cyprus now, I had a very close bond with him when I was younger and I feel sick just thinking about all the times I sat on his lap, hugged him and said I loved him knowing what he did to my mum and what he could have done to me (my mum never left us alone together) My mum never told the police about this, so he is still a free man, which horrifies me knowing what he's capable of. I haven't seen him in a couple of years, but I talked to him on the phone on my 15th birthday a couple of weeks ago (before I knew about all this) My Nan also knows about this, but she is still with him which I really don't understand, my mum says it's because she's old and sick and needs some one to look after her, but I don't think that's any excuse. My mum says the reason she didn't tell the police is because she didn't want to ruin her mums life, plus she doesn't think it will make her feel any better. I am disgusted, devastated and angry that the mam I grew up loving is a pedophile. I had pictures of me and him in my room but know i've taken them down and ripped them up. He is the reason my mum tried to kill herself, because of him my mum might of ended up dead at 17. I am so confused and angry, I really don't know what to do ... my mum says she has dealt with it know and even forgiven him for what he did, although it took her 30 years to come to terms with it ... but I don't think I could ever forgive him, I really don't know what to do ... I am just filled with all this rage and saddness ... please give me some advice??
Funeral question..I am scared to see my grandfathers dead body?
Today is the day before my grandfathers funeral. And they are having what they call 'the viewing'. I'm only 13 years old and I was really close to my grandfather,He was like a second father to me. Now,The viewing is where they have open casket and you see their body. I'm really scared to see my grandfather's dead body. Is it really as bad as I think it is? How will I comfort myself when I see his dead body lying there in the coffin...?
What is the difference between today's generation and old generation?
Old generation were blessed to breathe a cleaner air and enjoy more beautiful and eye-soothing beauty of nature.No T.V, No Internet. Hence more time to spend with family. More fun. More issues discussed. Better unity in family. Thus, joint families thrivedOutdoor games dominated. “My grandfather tells me often that even in scorching summer afternoons, he was dragged indoor forcefully.” Such was the craze for outdoors. This kept them more physically fit and healthy.No smartphones and no internet. Yet, the best of contact across miles. Hearts were together. Feelings were more real.Clothes have seen a great change. Men, here in Rajasthan, used to wear cotton dhotis. Unlike other people of his age, My grandfather hasn't switched to pants or pyjamas. I've never seen him wearing any of these things. He always carry his white dhoti in the same old traditional way.Old generation were lucky to have those strict punishments. They reminded them never to repeat the same mistake even in dreams. And yes, it prevented those pre-mature minds suffer the disadvantage of experience. Cricket bats, shoes, slippers, broomsticks and many other things were used by my mother to punish me. Now, my father makes fun saying, “Teri mummy ne apne bachpan ka badla tere bachpan pe nikal liya” (Your mother took revenge of her childhood punishments in your childhood.)Ladies used to make achaars (pickles), papad, mangodi, etc. This made children have great tasty stuff to eat at home itself.Morals were held very high. Quite a bit more than today.Yes, we have developed techniques and ideologies today. But I feel yesterday's generation has lot more to cherish. :-))_
How often do you see your grandparents?
Dad's side: I see my Nan every 2 years or something cause she lives in another state. My pop, i used to see him a few times a month (they're separated) but now he's like.....on the run from the cops or something so..i haven't seen him in ages. Supposedly he's in Malta :\ Mum's side: I haven't seen my grandma since i was 6, as soon as my brother was born she refused to talk to us...my mum's always been the black sheep of the family anyway & my grandma was a complete *****. I've never met my grandpa, he's in Germany somewhere (hehe, he's German ^.^) my mum's only met him once. BQ: My mum's mum is Grandma, my mum's dad is Grandpa My dad's mum is Nan/Nanna & my dad's dad is Pop/Poppy lol
Why does my grandad keep telling me to pull my pants up??
respect your elders... especially your grandfather.
Why do my parents treat my brother better than me?
Thinking that a sibling is being treated better than you by your parents is common and is usually not true, its just jealousy and failure to recognize other stuff that parents have done for you that they haven't done for your sibling/s. Now I cant know if your situation is one of those cases because I don't know you your brother or your parents but if I trust the information you have given me then I would say that this is not the case. They genuinely seem to treat him better than you. However the way I see it, you aren't being treated less because your parents love your brother more or because you are less of a son. A lot of times parents feel like they haven't provided enough for their first child and so they try to make up for it with their second. Normally that goes away as the children grow older and they get the same treatment but in your case I think that they tried too hard with your brother and so he got spoiled explaining his bad behavior. So if it makes you feel better it actually means that you are a better person than your brother because you work for what you get and don't work for materials but affection while your brother is somewhat of a spoiled brat and needs to be treated better than you in order to not through a fit or throw things and scream. So my advice is to change your mindset and consider that instead of you having the disability, it is your brother who is disabled and being treated like a child who wants his parents to do stuff for him and wont help around. You are are a great man for taking care of your grandpa and wanting only equal love from your parents. Take pride in that. Hope for the best and good luck. PS. I dont know your exact situation so i can me mistaken, maybe if I met you guys i would have a different opinion but from what I read I can only see that scenario.
