II. Read the passage about parent teenager problems, and then answer the questions.
Parent Teenager Problems
Parent teenager problems are a common thing in most households. Reasons for problems between teenagers and parents vary greatly, and each situation is different another, but there are common reasons for parent teenager problems.
First, a teenager is getting bad grades at school. This can cause a problem because the parents of a teen who is not getting the best grades in school will be worried about him graduating from high school and getting into college. Also, if a teen gets bad grades, he probably will not get any scholarships for school, which can be a hardship on parents.
Next, a teen is hanging out with a bad crowd. A teenager who has friends that do things their parents do not approve of can end up doing those things too, and the teen's friends will probably not be received well by the parents.
Then, a parent who is very strict with their teenager will probably have problems with him at some point. It is important to be firm, but not very firm, since this may make a teenager want to rebel even more.
If you are having problems with your parents, you will probably want to fix them. Lack of communication causes a lot of problems between parents and teenagers. It is important for both parties to communicate. You should do things together with your parents, such as going to a movie or playing board games, or going to a family counselor.
Fixing a family problem might seem hard, but as long as everyone communicates
or her feelings, everything should work out in the end.
