My name is Alessandro and I am 17. I come from Venice originally, but now we (my parents, sister and brother) live in Genoa. My sister goes to the same school as me, and my brother works in a bank. He is 19. My parents are both teachers.

I am a student at a Liceo. At the moment, I study for exams. As for my hobbies, I like reading (I read a great book called No Way at the moment) and I love to play the guitar. I listen to all kinds of music, but my favourite bands are the Foo Fighter and Nirvana. In fact, I listen to Bleach, the first Nirvana album at the moment – it is my all-time favourite.

According to a recent study, the generation gap is becoming smaller and today many parents and their teenage children have similar interests, listen to the same music and even dress the same. The study also shows that there is more equality between generations than ever before.
It is common today for parents and children to spend part of their free time together. James and Helen Jones from Liverpool go out with their teenage children once or twice a week. ‘We go to cafes, concerts and even to clubs with them’ says Helen. ‘We talk about everything – music, TV, school, boyfriends and girlfriends. In fact, there is nothing we aren’t talking about. Our children are our best friends. The generation gap definitely disappears.’
Daughter Suzy, 16, agrees ‘ We’ve got the same tastes in music and fashion, and me and my Mum wear always each other’s clothes and make-up. And Mum and Dad never discipline us – we always discuss thing as a family. Mum and Dad are really cool.
