Strangers under the same roof
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument?Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded?Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything?You are not alone.Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.
Teenagers' physical changes may result in such family tensions.You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate as your friends,shooting up in height or getting left far behind.You might worry about your changing voice,weight problems or spots(粉刺).When the worries get too much,your parents are often the first target of your anger.
It can be a big headache to balance your
developing mental needs,too.You enter a
strange middle ground 一 no longer a small child
but not quite an adult.You have both a new
desire for independence and a continued need for
your parents' love and support.You feel ready
to be more responsible and make decisions on
your own.Unfortunately,your parents do not
always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.
Sometimes they forget that growing up is a
rough ride.It can be difficult when your parents
treat you like a child but expect you to act like
an adult.All of this can lead to a breakdown in
your relationship.
Although sometimes ‘ it may.seem
impossible to get along as a family,you can take
action to improve the situation. The key to
keeping the peace is regular and honest
communication. Just remember that it is
completely normal to struggle with the stress
that parent-child tensions create,and that you
and your parents can work together to improve
your relationship.The good news is that this
stormy period will not last.Everything will turn
out all right in the end,and the changes and
challenges of your teenage years will prepare you
for adulthood.
