THE PROBLEM WITH GROWING-UP

In some families, disagreement between parents and teenagers occurred. It was a painful scene to see a child turned into a disrespectful teenager. When parents talked about the right thing, a teenager do the wrong thing. There was always the opposite. Why? Teenager don't like to be interfered with his own life. He wanted to decide what is best for him. The teenager failed to realize that he put his life into a position where decision always has its own failure.

It developed into distant relationship between them. Teenager did not  believed parents were always right. What he decided was the right one also. He disobeyed his parents because he wanted to create his own identity without interference from them; whether he  is right or wrong.

Teenager has that feeling of uncertainty and doubt about himself. He used rebellion to tell his parents that he is responsible to his own life.

Some parents tolerated this kind of behavior. They don't want to lengthen their disagreement that might lead to another serious confrontation. They can't discipline their teenager who was hard-headed, rebellious and disrespectful. If they will insist, a teenager will resort to running away from home and be at the mercy of another rebellious group. It was the deepest fear of the parents to see their son totally separated from their direction and guidance. Suddenly their beloved son became the problematic child of the society being delinquent.

This scene was common to our modern society today. Teenagers were doing things different from the expectation of their parents. Allowing dependence will result to resentment. So parents decided to allow his teenage son to make his own choices. It seemed the son was testing his parents' patience by resisting any rules.

For those parents who don't have a problematic children yet, they must guide their children closely. Train them for self-respect. Set limit but with values.
