Discuss the relationship between teens and parents/caregivers.
Very often, teens and p/cs have to develop a new way of communicating. You are in the process of becoming a young adult and how you think and feel about things can change a kit during your teenage years. You might even become critical of your p/c’s as people- their lifestyles, opinions, and parenting style. P/c’s might feel as if they don’t know you anymore, because of the changes in you. You can use this time of your life to form very strong and close relationships with your family.
