Teen survey - Your Thoughts

91% of teens prefer to still talk to their parents versus using technology

34% wish parents would not get so mad at them

Kids wished their parents would spend more time with them and stop working so much

74% of moms think their kids will talk to them about anything but 50% of kids say differently


50% of teens concerned about their looks and 38% about their weight

Boys and girls were almost equally concerned about good grades which surprised me

you control choices for restaurants, food, vacations and home entertainment

kids don't think their parents know they do online or where they have been

73% said they are happy

79% were happy at school, last year due to friends

Mina,

It was interesting to see your comments.

The survey seems to be true.

i think that it's a shame that some teens don't get along with their parents. they're only looking out for you, so you shouldn't be so hard on them. but also, i think that if you behave, your parents will have nothing to get upset over. me and my parents have a great relationship, we get along, and i never get in trouble!! but it really depends on your situation.

Mina and Jen,

It sounds like you are very lucky to have such great relationships with your parents.

You also seem to realize and respect their rules.

They also seem to be very lucky to have great kids.
