    It' not that the elderly dislike young people, it's just that some might not understand. Each generation is different from the first.. Alot of kids complain that there elders dont understand them and that may be true to an extent, but they grew up differently. So yea it might seem weird to them when they see the way someone younger is acting. Generaly though, i found that just listening and being respectful to them works. You dont have to agree with them about what they are saying , just listen.

    I think at times there is a sort of whirlwind of crazy energy that flows through youth that those with who have spent years tuning and honing their lives would sometimes like to avoid... we young people can be quite unstable, so I reckon sometimes we're considered risky business, and are more likely to get dumped at the drop of a hat, or held at arms length for safety reasons?
    Smells a bit like the old "can't get the job cos I got no experience/can't get the experience cos I haven't had a job" loop to me, but you can't force people to invest their time/effort/energy/friendship.

    all pure speculation.
