It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for mostof the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, thattheir parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant that they donot trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and thatthey have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how theythemselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothesand hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult
world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of theirown. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in asmall way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood,when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of
that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the ways you want. You canimpress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
