From what I have seen personally is the elders actually don't like to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the youth. The problem here is the generation gap, the elderly people have an old or outdated thinking you can say whereas the youth has a very modern thinking and modern approach to every situation, so there is always a conflict between the elders and the youth's way of thinking and the elders don't accept the modern way of thinking as they like to stick to their old-fashioned way of thinking. But they have to understand that as time changes, problems change the solution also changes the same old way of thinking and solutions just won't work anymore. The elders and the youth have to work together to create a better society by working together I mean to say the experience of the elderly and the modern mind of the youth, when brought together can do miracles.
