Communication with parents was one of the first things people have done since when they were born. Communicating and listening to the child is a parent’s duty because it lets the child know they are there for them. Conversations ramble as teens look to their parents for answers. As teenagers, communication with parents will change dramatically, unless the teen is well discipline. Conversations between parents and teens can be good or bad, it all depends on how the conversation is approached and on the attitude of both parents and teens. Some teens have a lot of attitude towards their parents when talking; their emotions kick in when things don’t go their way and arguments starts. Conversations teens have with their parents differ through conversations they have with their friends. But teens mostly turn to their parents when they have big problems. Sometimes the advice parents give their kids aren’t true, but it can help them resolve their problem. Tones in conversations indicate the teen’s attitude, and helps the parents identify how the teenager feels Arguing is the most common form of communication with parents when things don’t go the way teenagers wants things to. When teens come up with things to do, they mostly have to have their parent’s permission for approval. When a parent says no sometimes it is because they get worry and don’t want their child getting hurt, teenagers doesn’t see possibilities like parents do and get upset and angry. When in an argument a teen will use whatever he/she can come up with to break their parent so they can get this or do that. For example if a teen knew about a secret, he/she would use it against his/her parent, that way the parent will just say yes and can avoid talking about the secret. ... ... middle of paper ... ... as bad but both parents and teens have problems that discussions can help resolve them, or just make them feel better. Communication between parents and teens can clear up a lot of problems and can help fix a lot of personal things, or it can make things worse depending on the attitude addresses by the speaker. A teenagers attitude signals parents how the teen feels about the situation he/she’s in, and the parents attitudes signals how they feel when talking too. At times, communicating with friends work better than with parents, and for parents talking to their friends work better than when talking to their teen kid(s). Most of everything teens go through, their parents have already gone through and depending on how the parents address the advice to their teen, their advice can be the most helpful if spoken in a positive way, but if not it could also be the worst.

It’s most common to have this relationship with parents especially when a teenager. When observing surroundings its typical to find a disagreement, these examples are found anywhere from supermarkets, schools, and public events.

However, I think the majority of the time the parents are to blame for a lack of communication with their teenage children. If there is no enforced stress on the importance of communicating with family, how can teenagers be expected to value it? As children enter their teenage years, they go through a lot of changes and the influence of adult figures are of utmost importance. By treating teenagers more like young adults with increased responsibility and privileges alike, I believe parents could help the issue of teenagers feeling alone
Toddlers are finding out that they are their own individual person apart from their parents. They will start to communicate their likes, dislikes, and act as independently as they can, but are not quite capable of expressing their frustrations adequately. These toddlers who express themselves more than others are known as big reactors. These big reactors are not as in control of their emotions as the easy-going children. Big reactors rely more on actions than words to express themselves; this is why toddlers throw so many temper tantrums and show so much defiant behavior. Similar behavioral aspects are true for teenagers as well. Teens try to act as independently as possible, wanting absolute freedom from parents. They push the limits and become even bigger big reactors as their tantrums become fights. This inability to effectively express their feelings will lead many teens to completely withdraw or find friends that are negatively handling the same
Theses quotes might be said once or many times in one’s teen life. Complaining about parents is one of the conversation topics among the peers. Sometimes teens feel like adults do not aware of their opinions anymore. Moreover, arguments among the family could ruin the relationship if members do not know how to deal with it.

Children enter the world as part of preexisting systems. They enter parental systems and families that already have rules, roles and boundaries, and more are made as children grow and the family develops. These transitions can be confusing and challenging for all members involved leading to feelings of fear, anger and even helplessness. Members within the family strive to feel competent and grasp at a sense of security as their family structure and organization shifts with each new addition or change. Normal family development is a delicate balance between change and stability. The most important rules to help maintain a sense of stability and security within the family, according to Virginia Satir, are the ones that govern communication (Bitter, 2009, p. 125). Rules via communication can be verbal or nonverbal but are usually intended to provide children safety as they advance outside the home. However, children hear absolutes in rules such as “Always listen to your elders,” which quickly becomes impossible to follow all the time. Children begin to question such rules and parental authority begins to lose weight. Children also learn rules by observing the behavior of their parents, who typically do not follow the absolutes in rules they give their children. According to Satir, in healthy families, rules are few and consistently applied and are humanly possi...

...up to their parents as role models in their lives, would you want your child to partake in arguments with teachers or fellow students while in school? When it comes down to domestic violence within the parental relationship, the parents are to look at their argument from the child’s perspective and how detrimental it may be for the child in the long run. Children’s emotional effects from the arguments may include being anxious, nervous, depressed, confused, and embarrassed. These negative emotional states also could include nightmares about these arguments, distraught while at school, and social problems with friends. Lastly, how would a parent feel if the child believes the fighting is caused by the child? The amount of distress a child will endure if the child makes the fighting and arguments their own personal faults is damaging towards the child’s well-being.

Teens have more pressure to be cool, and to be accepted that's what makes them rebel of do what mom or dad had always told them not to do. They may know that it is wrong but it is all about looking cool for that second, or being safe and listen to your parents. Actually, when you are faced with a situation that you know is wrong you don't think about what your parents will think until you have already completed it and there is no turning back. Then there comes the punishment. That makes the teen rebel more and do more things to be "cool" and doesn't care.
While most parents realize there are normal struggles between parents and teens as their sons and daughters struggle for independence and identity, they are often shocked by the length and intensity of the conflict. They are stunned by apparent rejection of some of their most sacred values and confused by their teenagers "acting up" and "acting out." In attempting to become psychologically independent of their parents, teens often attempt to move completely away from any control or influence by their parents.
