Much has been written about the period of adolescence. This is a time when a child begins to question the value systems of his family and society and strives to form his own opinions. It is a time of great confusion and upheaval because he has thrown away the old values and has not completely formed the new ones. Parents often become shaken when they see their teenage son or daughter begin to question the values that he or she grew up with. Parents should not worry. In fact they can feel relieved that their child is beginning to become his or her own person.

You are struggling right now for independence...
God gave us our children, not to control them but to bring them up in the way they would go - not necessarily our way. It is a very sad thing when that happens to you. It has happened to...

You are special; you mean the world to me.
You are my daughter, a reflection of my entity.
Every year, as I watch you grow by my side,

I see the pain in your eyes and feeling like you do
I wish I could take it all away and skip these years for you
Being a teen is so very hard, it really isn't fair
I'm confused about life
it seems like no one understands me
especially my parents
they try to run my life
I'm exactly the same. My parents don't let me out, and I'm 17. I can't make any friends because they won't let me go to school. It's like a prison in my house.
Having a son to carry on the family name
Was something to be proud of
But since he became a teen, nothing has remained the same
He has changed, thinking he knows all

Feelings often change,
a common act of a typical teen,
This is so very true!!! It exactly describes me and my other teen cousins!
Take a look at me
and
Tell me what you see
Do you see my forceful smile
This is such a strong poem. It touched my heart. I know what it feels like to be in that situation. This poem helped me realize that I'm not in this alone.
I'm now 16 and you think I'm out of control
How can I express to you I just want to be out more
I know I'm too young to know what love is
But, am I too young to know my own feelings
I too agree with the comments written above and all this things also happens with me too. We also have a life, we also need freedom, we also need to enjoy our life and our teenage... Why...
What exactly have I done so wrong?
I've listened to her cries and her pleas
I tried to understand all of her needs, hopes and dreams
Yet as time goes on she continues hating me
It just made me open my eyes and realize what my mom is going through. I need to make sure I change.
