3) What's your opinion on us younger generation?

aunt - you take things for granted and waste a lot of money, you all like to buy things, in the end you wont use anymore. Also your generation don't go and visit family a lot, and one day you just might need them. You all have such good education, that we didn't have back then, yet you dont do your work because your all so lazy.

My opinion on old people

My feelings towards old people is neutral i don't dislike them but they're not the best people to hang out with. Sometimes i find them annoying but only when they tend to repeat things over and over again and when they complain too much, but other then that I'm fine with them. I think they're just like us, just in a different stage, and sometimes a different time. But thats going to be all of us, we're going to grow old and think differently then how the young people will because we grew up in a different time period. I see people as people who tend to give out advice a lot, some what like lecturing you, but then again all people do that when they're giving out advice.
