A
Strangers
Under
the
Same
Roof
Does
every
dinner
with
your
parents
seem
to
turn
into
an
argument?
Have
your
once
warm
and
open
conversations
become
cold
and
guarded?
Do
you
feel
that
you
just
cannot
see
eye
to
eye
with
them
on
anything?
You
are
not
alone. Heated
arguments
and
cold
silences
are
common
between
teenagers
and
their
parents.
Teenagers
physical
changes
may
result
in
such
family
tensions. You
may
feel
anxious
that
you
are
developing
at
a
different
rate
to
your
friends,
shooting
up
in
height
or
getting
left
far
behind. You
might
worry
about
your
changing
voice,
weight
problems
or
spots
(粉刺) . When
the
worries
get
too
much,
your
parents
are
often
the
first
target
of
your
anger.
It
can
be
a
big
headache
to
balance
your
developing
mental
needs
too. You
enter
a
strange
middle
ground—no
longer
a
small
child
but
not
quite
an
adult. You
have
both
a
new
desire
for
independence
and
a
continued
need
for
your
parents
love
and
support. You
feel
ready
to
be
more
responsible
and
make
decisions
on
your
own. Unfortunately,
your
parents
do
not
always
agree
and
that
makes
you
feel
unhappy. Sometimes
they
forget
that
growing
up
is
a
rough
ride. It
can
be
difficult
when
your
parents
treat
you
like
a
child
but
expect
you
to
act
like
an
adult. All
of
this
can
lead
to
a
breakdown
in
your
relationship.
Although
sometimes
it
may
seem
impossible
to
get
along
as
a
family,
you
can
take
action
to
improve
the
situation. The
key
to
keeping
the
peace
