Do you ever get the feeling that your parents just don't listen to you? It's not that your parents ignore you completely; it's more that they don't see things in quite the same way as you. And this isn't the only problem you may face. As you grow up, your personality develops and you're trying to become more independent, so naturally you have more questions and opinions about all aspects of your life. You start wondering whether your parents actually know what they're talking about. These doubts can lead to arguments and it's hard for parents to know how to deal with this. That's often because it's the first time they've been responsible for a teenager and they're learning to cope! Obviously, it's important to respect your parents and you should try to understand why they might have a different point of view from yours. Their priority is to provide you with a structured environment, where they can guide and support you. However, it's vital that they try and see your point of view. They also need to give you the freedom to make your own decisions. The important thing is to keep talking. Remember that there's no reason why people should automatically understand all your views. The more you can discuss things with your parents in a mature way, the happier you will feel. On the other hand, if you really find it impossible to talk to your parents, it might be a good idea to find a family member, teacher or professional counsellor who can help you. Above all, stay positive and remember that it won't be long before you'll be able to make your own decisions. (Adapted from Complete First for Schools) Question 23.
