it is [36] natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. they have always [37]plained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with [38] modern ways; that they are possessive and [39] dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have[40] no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.

i think it is true that parents often [41] underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when they were young.

young people often [42] irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, and in [43] entertainers and music. this is not their motive. they feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. [44] so they create a culture and society of their own. then, if it turns out that their music, entertainers, vocabulary, clothes or hairstyle irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. they feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. sometimes they are resistant, and proud because [45] they do not want their parents to approve of what they do. if they did approve, it looks as if the teenager is assuming that he or she is the underdog. it is natural enough after long years of childhood, when [46] they werepletely under their parents’ control. but it ignores the fact that they are now beginning to be responsible for themselves.
