Coping

Why do old people have to be rigid and grouchy, and young people wild and crazy? I realize that these stereotypes do not always have to apply, but there is enough truth in them that I often ponder these subjects.

Another observation that seems to ring true quite often: young people are fascinated by technology and are confident users of it; old people seem clueless, and get easily frustrated and overwhelmed by it.

Yet, young people are more likely to turn to addictions when they feel inadequate to deal with life's challenges and frustrations.
