Problems when it comes to teenagers....

I think that teenagers have a hard time of things. They have to cope with the fact that their bodies are changing, and their changing hormone levels can mean that their emotions are literally all over the place at the moment. They will push away those who are closest with them, they'll make friends with the wrong people, and they may get into trouble that they wouldn't have done in the past. As a Father you can't make them talk to you, but you just need to let them know that you're there if they should ever need to talk.

I think we have this wrong assumption that teenagers are hard to talk to. Family communication is very important and to understand teenagers parents must use different communication tools to reach them out. There ways to improve family communications and it's the role of the parents to know them to have more open and sound family communication.

Hi! I learned and observed this from my mother. She always monitors us where we go and who are we with.It is very important that parents be sensitive to there children's behavior and activities so that if problems arises they will be able to know what to do instead of being in a state of shock. It is also important for them to reach out to their children. Talk to them constantly.

I'm in my late teens and pretty much teenagers don't tend to talk to their parents. But it does depend on the teen because some teens I know at school talk a lot to their parents whereas others don't. I actually don't talk to my parents much either, sometimes I do but the conversations are never long. I guess when teens have personal problems depending how bad it is, they don't want their parents to find out. Also, some teens may prefer to deal the problem themselves to feel more mature rather than seeking their parent's help. I guess it's typical for teens to be very quiet of their problems just in case their parent's get angry but then again it does depend on their individuality and their personality.

Hmm i think you also experienced that, or rather your parents experienced that with you. When in teenage years people wanted to be independent as we think that we are old enough to do things on our own, actually it is the elders fault too why we have that mindset, parents and older relatives always tell us to do it on our own since we are old enough and things like that so as problems surround us we tend to keep it to our own or share it with our friends who are "on the same age". As a father hmm that's kinda hard teenagers commonly talk to their mother about emotional problems like love life or school problems, as women are more approachable and caring as most men. How about an emotional talk with your kids? I think that will really help you understand them and vice versa.

if u want to be good father u need to go with kids u like .if you are advice them in their way they will accept it

I think most teenagers does not listen to the parents or the elders. The problem with the teenagers is that they think that most of the elders are controlling them and not giving them freedom. I think most probably talking and talking will help. I think sometimes it works. I think most of them does not understand and it takes time and experience for the teenagers to understand.

its hard to raise kids this days...our kids are overwhelmed with outside pressures from school and peers...and it is giving the kids the hard time to coupe up so fast which makes them to commit mistakes and wrong moves because they're new to several new grown up things...that's quite normal for we all had that kind of experience, what we can do best is to be there always along their side for them to know that you're there doing the support and guiding...it's normal for teens to be silent about their problem and it is up to us how we can motivate them to share and speak out their problems...sometimes it work not to talk about it,, kids know for themselves that you care enough...

hello, they really have a problem but they dont want you to involved to it maybe because they are scared or something is bothers to them when they tell you what is the reason. I know you are nice father but your kid might afraid of something and you should know it. You should know your kid better? You need to try to bond to them to make them free from telling the truth to you. Usually teenagers wants to explore new things and maybe they do something that will make you mad.
