FRIENDS AND FAMILY

After reading the article friends .vs. family, I could see that 81% of teenagers would choose to talk to friends rather than family. There are two facts that make this high percent:
1. The confidence between parents and son has disappear
2. The style of life has changed
Thirty years ago, the style of life was different from now. Going out with your friends with 15, 16 or 17 years old was an unusual. With this age you might stay at home with your family. But now, teenagers with this same age, have the opportunity to tell his feelings and problems who someone that have the same thinking.
I think friends are really important in a teenager life. This age is a very difficult period that you rebel and go against the authority so here enters the importance of a friendship. A friend is at the same level than you and have more or less the same point of view, if a friends advice us of something we would take more in account that if the same advice come for a parent. We see our parents like the authority who obligate us to do things that we don’t want to. Although family is very important and we have to consider their opinions although we think is not the best for us, actually it is.
