Finally, here’s come to our main title, should the elderly be sent to the Old Folks’ Home? Obviously we can see that all of the respondents are not supporting to send the elderly to Old Folk’s Home. Why they do so? It is because they feel that they have the responsibility to take care of the elderly. Besides that, they also think negatively to the Old Folks’ Home. As a result, we can found that teenagers always think in a short term. Let me explain it. Who is not willing to take care of their parents if they able to? So, who needs Old Folks’ Home? Taking care of the elderly is not just the matter of money. They also need your time and your love. How can a teenager ensure that? Can you ensure your future?
