During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem
to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work at school. This is a
normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of
becoming independent, of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young
people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest
and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their son or daughter about school work and future plans but
should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs:
some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with alcohol or smoking. Parents need to
watch for any signs of unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if
necessary.

a) parent's handbook

3. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult?
a) because most teenagers are quiet.
b) because teenagers don't want to talk to
their parents.
c) because teenagers think adults are not honest. d) because most teenagers hate adults.
4. When can you expect a young person to be more talkative than usual?
a) When people talk to them because they are really interested and not yet checking up on them.
b) When adults give them a lot of money to spend.
c) When adults talk to them about something other than their work in school.
