Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each of the questions.
As the parent of three boys (high school, middle school and pre-school), I can say without
reservation that I love them equally. Each can be a pain in his own special way, and each is very
different from the other. So my relationships with each of them are different, but they all receive love,
support and direction.
Our two oldest will occasionally complain that we are treating them differently, and we always say
that we are: different time, different place and different child. And then we ask if they feel we are
treating them unfairly.
If the answer to that is yes, then we talk about it.
We make no claims to perfection and are willing to admit mistakes to our kids. This is more
important as they get older, but it's important when they're young, too. It is also true that each parent
has a different relationship with each child, and it takes communication to make sure that there's no
resentment between parents as well. Families thrive on communication, even when it's loud.

Dating and experience with romance are relatively common - but far from universal - among teens
aged 13 to 17. Some 35% of teens have some type of experience in a romantic relationship, a figure
that includes current and former daters, as well as those in serious and less-serious relationships. The
survey asked about three different categories of romantic relationships and found:
+ 4% of teens are currently in a relationship they consider to be serious with a boyfriend, girlfriend,
or significant other.
+ 5% of teens are in a current romantic relationship, but do not consider it to be serious.
+ 16% of teens are not currently dating, but have had some sort of romantic relationship (whether
serious or otherwise) in the past.
Some 64% of teens indicate that they have never been in a romantic relationship of any kind (and
1% declined to provide their relationship status). The 35% of teens who say they are either currently
involved with a romantic partner or have ever dated, hooked up with or had a romantic relationship
with someone will serve as the focus of the remainder of this report. When we refer to “teen daters,”
“teens with relationship experience” or “teens with dating experience”, we are referring to this roughly
one-third of teenagers who are currently in some type of relationship or have been at some point in the
past. Age is the primary demographic dividing line when it comes to dating and romance. Teens aged
15 to 17 are around twice as likely as those aged 13 to 14 to have ever had some type of romantic
relationship experience (44% vs. 20%). These older teens also are significantly more likely to say they
are currently in an active relationship, serious or otherwise (18% vs. 6% of younger teens).
