Yes,I believe in friendship between generations,just as our foreign teacher who is 62 years old now,also become we students' good friend.A lot of students will talk to him when they are in trouble or when they are unhappy,and after that they feel better and begin to play joke with him.Of course our foreign teather will do some sports with us and tell us how to be a kind person.all of this have proved that we are friends,and our friendship is between generations. The friendship between generations can do good to both of us.For the youth,we can know lots of things and can deal with some problems because the old-friend can tell us his experience to us.And for the old,they will feel very happy because so many young friends want to talk to him,which make him won't feel lonely. All in all,I believe in that.

Yeah,I agree with you.sometimes we young people are not mature enough to deal with things,we don't see the big picture,we are too emotional when we young ,we feel helpless and not confident when we can't handle study ,work,relationships,or friendship.We need a good listener ,a mentor to share his or her experience,to pull us out of blue,or tell us don't give up,you'll get through like them.In the other hand,what i'm not quite sure about is what the elder people can benefit from the friendship with younger friend.They share our unhappiness ,cheer us up,and encourage us,not just because they are lonely,i mean,suppose your elder friends are not that old,they also have their connection net.I think being friend of young people can let them feel relaxed,because it is simple and easy ,don't have to face so much pressure which is often seen in daily life.And young people probably are more creative,they have more new ideas ,so eld people can get some inspiration from them. Anyway,thank you for you guys join the discussion.

Hi Aprilsmiles, Friendship between generations is definitely possible and we can see that kind of friendships in our day-to-day lives also. The relation between a 5-year old child and a 60-year old nanny is a clear cut example which we can see in our daily lives. Frankly speaking, this kind of frienships really acts as an emotional support for the child, which serves him/her better in future life.
