Communication and Trust: A Teen Perspective

So, I have realized that many teens haven't figured out how to comunicate with their parents. They want to communicate about their feelings toward what they are maybe going through, but their parents may not be aware of it. As a teen, I know that my mom and dad don't know what Im thinking and don't know why I am acting the way I am acting unless I tell them. Also, as a teen, I wouldn't mind my parents asking questions nicely. Sometimes I don't want to tell them, but having the option to talk to them would be nice. Just knowing they care can really help. I dont always know how to talk to my parents about things without the fear of getting introuble or yelled at, but if my parents were calm about the situation, I might be more willing to open up. I also know as a teen sometimes trying to fix things by myself  will sometimes gets me into even more trouble, so I recommend that if you cant handle the situation ask your parents for help. If you can't ask them, ask a teacher or a close family friend to help you. Parents, you need to stay open minded for your teens, because todays sociaty is exciting and there is lots of pressure to fit in and get a good grades. For things to work out both sides, we must be open and willing to except and listen. Comunication is the main key along with trust to a good parent/teen relationship.
