Our teenage years are probably the most difficult of our lives. It is at this time that we move from childhood to adulthood. So much is happening to us. Our bodies change, our emotions change, and our whole life changes. In a few short years, we must learn to be independent, Mature, and responsible. We need to pass our exams, find a job, and maybe start a family. This should be a bit shocking for most teenagers. Part of all this new independence is the behavior of teenagers. This is probably the most difficult part of a parent's life. All these whims and all these resentments. This can create tension in family life. People always think they really want children and babies; no one ever says “ I want a teenager."
