"Adolescence represents an inner emotional upheaval, a struggle between the eternal human wish to cling to the past and the equally powerful wish to get on with the future." -Louise J. Kaplan
I'm confused about life
it seems like no one understands me
especially my parents
they try to run my life
but they don't understand
my life's my own to run
they can't run it
it seems we live in two different worlds
at two different times
they should know no matter how much
they try to control my life
I'll always rebel
I don't care about the punishment
because they can't take away my
freedom, hope, dreams, memories
and people I love ever.
I wish they would understand
they never had to go through
the problems us teens are going through now
they would never understand
back then there weren't so many problems us
teens face now
they just simply don't understand
us teens
This chapter discusses how a parent interacts with their child as they enter adolescence. This can be one of the hardest times for a child and how a parent tends to interact is one of the keys to success for a child. It can also be a key time for a parent as well, which causes a parent to learn many different ideas on how to handle a new adolescent's behavior, which may not be the best always.
Teenagers tend to go through many different changes and a parent's role can shape much of how they feel about themselves and how the interact with other people which can mold their future either for positive or negative. Learning how to communicate with your teenager can be one of the key's to learn how be a positive parent.
How a child tends to communicate with their parents tends to change once they reach adolescence because they have the fear that their parents will not only understand them, but not listen to what they have to say, which can be one of the main issues in parenting a child entering adolescence.
Daddy's Footsteps
“Walk a little slower, Daddy”,
Said a little child so small.
“I’m following in your footsteps,
And I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up,
You’re what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who’ll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.”

Parents will impact a child's life in so many ways and during adolescent years, it is possible that it is even more so that a parent impacts their lives during those years. This chapter covers how a parent can influence a adolescent in how they live their lives. Whether a child wants to admit it, children, even adolescents, want to be like their parents. A child will mimic their parents habits and if their habits are bad, their children's habits will follow. A child can have issues with emotions, or weight and it can be much of how a parent interacts that has the impact.
