I was given a topic Teenagers and parents and I have studied the results of the survey reflecting British teenagers’ opinion about the causes of conflicts with parents. Surprisingly, the data of the diagram shows that 66% of British teenagers think about their behaviour as a cause of the conflicts. Only 14% of teenagers say that money issues are the main causes of conflicts and about 20% of them haven’t enough freedom. In my opinion teenagers of Lithuania would point out the same causes of conflicts with their parents. I think I’m not a typical teenager but as I have experienced on my own the most conflicts with parents come from my behaviour. But according to my friends experience, I could say that teenagers in Britain ad Lithuania experience similar problems with parents.

They also can’t tolerate rebellious behaviour, friends making bad influence to their children. I have never discussed my behaviour with parents, because in general, I’m not a warring person so that’s why I rarely conflict with my parents. But for those teenagers, who often make conflicts, conversations with parents are really necessary to realise their problematic behaviour. I don’t think that parents are over-protective or too strict to their teenager children. Of course, every parent is different as every teenager also is.
