Until now， little research has been conducted on the association between parents' friendships and the emotional well-being of their adolescent children． A new study from researchers at the University of Missouri suggests that mothers' friendships with other adults can impact their adolescent children's relationships with their own friends， particularly the negative aspects of these relationships such as conflict and opposition．
Gary． C． Glick， a doctoral candidate at MU， and Amanda Rose， professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences， studied the development of friendships and other peer relationships during adolescence and their impact on psychological adjustment． They found that adolescents may mimic the negative characteristics of their mothers' relationships in their own peer-to-peer friendships suggesting that mothers can serve as role models for their adolescents during formative years．
"Mothers who display high levels of conflict with friends may signal to their children that such behavior is acceptable， or even standard in friendships，" Glick said． "Additional findings suggest that adolescents take for granted their reactions to their mothers' conflict with adult friends which may lead to anxiety and depression．"
Previous research of this type focused on primary-aged children， but MU researchers wanted to expand their study to focus on the formative adolescent years． Youth ranging in age from 10 to 17 and their mothers were surveyed separately to measure regarded positive and negative friendship qualities in both groups． Results showed that positive friendship qualities were not always imitated by adolescents； however， negative and unfriendly relationship characteristics exhibited by mothers were much more likely to be copied by the youth studied． "We know that conflict is a normal part of any relationship---whether it is a relationship between a parent and a child， or a mother and her friends---and we're not talking physical fights but oral conflicts，" Glick said． "But being exposed to high levels of such conflict generally isn't going to be good for children． Parents should consider whether they are good role models for their children especially where their friends are concerned． When things go wrong， parents should talk with their children about how to act with their friends， but more specifically， how not to act．"

As tour guide, I’m glad to tell you that more and more tourists are paying attentions to environmental protection. Several years before, in one place of interest I saw rubbish throwing away everywhere, such as waste paper and plastic bags. However, some tourists climbed trees or picked out flowers. Some even scared or catch little animals. What’s more, some of them made a fire to cook, which might cause a forest fire. Recently great changes had taken place. Most tourists take rubbish away with them while they leave. They no longer hurt little animals. Trees and flowers are well taken care of. In the forest, smokers give up smoking so as not to start a fire. Now I sing high praise for so good deeds.
