Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Different relationships have effects on teenagers in many ways. Friends influence teenagers
almost the same amount as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask
questions that they could not ask their parents about. Most of their friends give them good
advice. In most cases, they tell their friends how to dress and act when being around certain
people.
Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some
start to fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriends or girlfriends instead of
doing their work.

majority of them grow up to act and do things just like their parents did with them. Children who
have experienced with a family break-up may have lower achievements than children brought up
in an intact family.
As previously stated, teenagers are affected by many relationships which involve their

teenagers change their ideas about how they should live their lives in a different way and to

The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another,
especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such
family conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times.
It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small
kids and keep in mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have
wise choices. Therefore, they tend to make a great attempt to help their children to discover the
outside world. Nevertheless, they forget that as children grow up, they want to be more
independent and develop their own identity by creating their own opinions, thoughts, styles and
values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on
wearing fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value
traditional clothes believe that P. It becomes worse when the expensive brand name clothes teens
choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education
between parents and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet and
that dazzling future opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their parents try to
impose their choices of university or career on them regardless of their children's preference.
Indeed, conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It seems
that the best way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and
understanding.
