How To Be A Good Parent: a teenager's guide
Sixteen-year-old Ellie, who lives with her parents, Louise, 38, and Peter, 43, has written a book to tell us what parents of teenagers are doing wrong ...
All adults think teenagers are a nightmare. According to them,we're moody, argumentative, rude and disruptive. But have any adults ever stopped to think that perhaps they are responsible for the unpredictable and confusing way we behave?
Take me, for instance, I may be a teenage nightmare, but this is all to do with my parents, not me. With my mother, I stamp
my feet, storm' out of shops in the middle of arguments, and moan until I get my own way (1)___But my father, on
the other hand, turns me into a shining example of teenage perfection. I do as he asks, I don't answer back and I happily
accept that no means no.
My parents have very different parenting styles. While my dad brings out the
best in me, by being calm and reasonable and treating me like an adult, my mum,
like so many other parents of teenagers, inadvertently makes me want to rebel by
being combative and speaking to me as though I'm still a child. Last summer, after yet another row in a shop with my mother, I decided to start writing down the way I felt about things.(2)___
In December, having contacted various publishers, I signed a book deal. My
parenting book, How Teenagers Think, is going to be published next year, the first
of its type actually written by a teenager. Much of my book is based on my own
experiences, but I've also interviewed my friends about their parents. (3)____And it usually comes down to the fact that our parents care too much about us and don't want to let us grow up. For example, Mum drove me crazy a few weeks ago
when she kept worrying I'd broken my neck after I fell off my bike. Yes, my neck
hurt, but I'd been to the doctor and he'd told me I was fine, so why did she want totake me to hospital?
Instead of fussing around their teenagers like we're small children, parents could
be using our desire to feel grown-up to their advantage. If we're behaving badly,
why not tell us straight out that we don't deserve to be treated like an adult? Then
we'll try to earn your respect. And why not reward us when we do behave maturely? Recently, I wanted to take a train to Portsmouth to see a friend - a journey I'd done with Mum before. Dad was fine with the idea of me going alone, but it took weeks of arguments before Mum agreed.(4)____
Parents need to learn to trust teenagers. And when parents are worried about us,
there is no point becoming angry-that just makes things worse. A few months ago,
Mum lost her temper when I told my parents I'd been receiving emails from a
stranger I'd met in a chatroom. She instantly banned me from using the Internet and
we ended up having a huge row. But I'm not stupid. Most teenagers know talking
to strangers online is not a good idea, so I'd told them what was happening-I don't
want to get abducted, just as much as they don't want me to. So why be angry with me, Mum?(5)____can talk to you?
Surely it's better for me to feel you won't be angry, so I
Many of my friends feel the same way. They end up not telling their parents what they're up to because they'll be cross. Everyone I interviewed for my book loved the idea of being really close to their parents. Despite the way we behave, we all want close relationships with our parents. We also all know deep down that our parents usually do know best. (6)___Our parents have to unwrap the cotton wool they place around us and let us get on with what is just a natural phase of life.
Task 1. Match the gaps (1-6) in the text with the sentences below (A-H). There
are two extra sentences.
A. Why was it such a big deal?
B. Even more worrying was the fact that my parents weren't talking to each other.
C. A few more rows later and I'd written more than 10,000 words of advice for parents.
D. But part of being a teenager is feeling free to take steps down new paths
and learning from our own mistakes.
E. After that, the arguments with my dad just got worse.
F. Just last week, for example, I persuaded Mum to buy me a pair of shoes that she had said I couldn't have. G. It makes me not want to confide in you.
H. Surprisingly, we all share similar views on what our parents are doing wrong. Task 2. Match the phrasal verbs in bold in the text with the definitions below.
1. change; transform ________
2. gradually become an adult gan doam
__________
3. do something without interruption _________
