Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents. At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and     out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them. Most teens work through this     by the age of 16 or 17.

Often teenagers are treated like     bigger children, but they will never become     and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves. If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it     without permission anyway. The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and      .

Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and     .As a result, teenagers always keep their    from their parents. Teens often     that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them. Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to     their side of any problem and express their point of view.

Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents. Every parent should try to schedule time to be     with their child, like taking a short trip together. This time allows parents to talk and listen without     from work or other family members. It might also be good to encourage teens to     important issues at dinner. Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives.

A person’s teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own     ,like distinguishing good from evil. Handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be     for parents and teens alike.
