Parental Image: Is your teen going against what you taught him and it just plain makes you mad? For some, it’s embarrassing as well. For other parents, how their kid looks feels like a reflection of the quality of their parenting so there is fear that they will be negatively judged if they have a child who doesn’t just blend in with the “norm.”

Choosing Friends: You can help your teen in choosing their friends. It takes many learned skills to make and maintain a friendship; it also takes many skills to end a friendship. It’s okay and even beneficial to make friends with the opposite gender. It takes time to make a good friend, but it’s worth the effort as having a confidant can help your child with their stress.
