TEENAGERS VS ADULTS

         Hi readers! Today I'm going to write about a topic that is very present in our lives, conflicts between teenagers and adults. Every teenager discuss with their parents or any adult with her son or daugther, sometimes even we have conflicts with unknown people, but why do we have so many discussions?

        To start with, one of the things that can be a reason for a discussion in a family is the homeworks that we have to do at home. For example, when we leave the bedroom very nasty or when we don't pick up the things that we use when we have a shower, automatically the parents get angry, they start shouting saying why they have to say always the same and why we don't obey at the first time.



         Positive Parenting of Teens, a curriculum developed by the University of Minnesota, indicates that other conflicts in families can occur when one member feels that his values, beliefs, way of life and territory are threatened. Other causes of conflict include when someone is told how he needs to do something and when communication breaks down. I think that is true because, young people, including me, don't like saying how to do something we prefer doing in our own way.

         In addition, other cause for conflict can be the disagreements. Very often in the family we start talking about a topic that we aren't agree in some aspects. At the beginning we talk in a normal tone, but when we see that our parents aren't saying something that we want to listen we can get furious(usually the teens) and start discussing without listening other people's opinion. In that moments I think that we don't know to behave properly and we should learn being in calm.


       When we are young we often breake the rules and this is one of the most reason for conflicts.According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the best way to contain conflict is by being consistent with us, the teenagers. Parents need to have good reasons for rules, based on facts, principles, fairness and kindness. Some patience will help as well. In my opinion the patience is the most important thing, if parents lose the patience with their children, it going to finish in a conflict.

       To finish, I have to say that conflicts happen less frequently during the time that we are growing up, because we don't grow only physically, we grow psychologically and we learn behaving properly, so there are less causes for conflicts.
