Current feelings on old people

A paragraph about your current feelings about old people - how much you interact with folks that are old, some of your experiences and impressions and reactions to old people. How you think of them and how they think of you.

I don't usually interact with old people or hang out with them so it's difficult to describe the way I look at them. I dont have the best impressions of old people but I usually picture them as old, cranky,smelly people. Everytime I spot an old person I get so angry because they are either walking too slow and delaying my time or they are yelling at some young person about how rude and disrespectful they are. I don't spend a lot of time with my grandmas just because it's a little awkward. There's never a conversation that lasts more than five minutes. I feel like it's like this with every young person. There has been such generation gap between us, and we've gotten so used to this, it doesnt bother us anymore. I would like things to change between all ages and I always wonder how it would be if all generations communicated and got along. I think that old people have the same thoughts of us young people. They usually think of young people as rude, disrespectful, and loud people. We both have negative images of one another, the reason for this is because we never get the chance to get to know one another.
