Feedback February 9-13 _Anne Frank Discussion Reflection

In her diary Anne opined: “…if you’re wondering if it’s harder for the adults here than for the children, the answer is no…Older people have an opinion about everything and are sure of themselves and their actions. It’s twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at a time when ideals are being shattered…” (July 15, 1944.) Do you agree or disagree with this quote? When was the last time that you experienced the “shattering” of an ideal?
Most people think that adults have to deal with harder problems than children do because they have more responsibilities over things. But that is not always true. Adults and children shouldn't be compared to what kind of problems they face, but how the problems affect their lives. Of course, some problems are different according to the age of the individual. For example, if you were a child, you'd be worried about getting your presents for Christmas. If you were a teenager, you'd be worried about your grades, your friends and so on. To adults, these problems would seem like nothing serious but to the people facing these problems at that certain age, these problems could seem horrible.
The last time I experienced the "shattering" of an ideal was when I realized that Santa was not real. I bet that everyone had experienced this kind of things. As I grew older, I realised that some things that were told to me and that I've believed in were actually not true.
