The Elderly

My definition of an old person would be when they hit a certain age such as 65 years old, they are out of tune with the current generation, or just rely on life as they live on. My opinion on old people is that they are grumpy, smelly, old, etc. This is the stereotypical answer you may get from young people regarding the topic on old people. The young generation is less likely to spend time with old people which makes us only create negative images of them. It isn't likely to see young people today spending time with their grandma or grandpa. We have been separated through age groups and to stick by that rule. Teenagers stick with people their own age and old people with people their own age. What if this was to change and we were united and mixed together?? There wouldn't be no seclusion between one another.

Some theories on why we don't know many old people were,
1. they live in homes
2. they don't like us (anyone younger than them)
3. we don't like them
4. Generation gap
