At first glance there appears to be love hate relationship between teens and their parents. Well, Perhaps hate is too strong word. Teens don't understand why parents cannot relate to them; after all, they were young once (they were teens, too!). Parents, on the other hand, don't understand why their kids don't act more responsibly.
A new study confirms that parental behavior can affect how likely teenagers are to join a gang or participate in gang delinquency.
But the study also reveals that the same behaviors that discourage gang activity in teens from one ethnic group might have no effect, or even encourage gang activity, in teens from a different ethnic group.
The same research indicates that gang intervention programs, which often focus on teens' peer relationships, could be more effective if they also addressed the parent-teen relationship.
Ask any teen to explain what stresses them out, and parents always come up. It is impossible to go through the teenage years without stress.
