I'm confused as to why you're comparing elders to teenagers. You mentioned taking care of cars and clothes, gardening and playing with grandchildren. Great, but to compare those things to what teenagers do just doesn't make sense. To assume all youth are the same is just as bad as assuming your generation is the same and this kind of thinking does a disservice to both. Most youth I know understand race, gender and socioeconomic issues better than generations before them. Can you say the same about your generation in their youth? If you wish for the younger folks to seek out your wisdom, perhaps not being judgmental of them for being young and silly, then maybe they would refrain from disparaging calling you "boomers".
