Relationship Problems

Save to My Favourites

CD-1 track 23. 1. Well, what can I say, ladies and gentlemen? You know your children better than I do, and you should be able to help them find solutions to their emotional problems. The school and myself can only support you in this area because we can’t expect teenagers to tell us how they feel about their conflicts at home.

If you’d like to talk to me about anything else in particular, please stay a bit longer. Thank you all for coming. 2. My dad and I didn’t used to get on with each other very well for years. I thought he never understood me and was very critical of me.

But I changed my mind when I realized how much he’d had to do to bring me up on his own. He always encouraged me to achieve more and told me off for being lazy. Because of my dad, I trained basketball professionally and I got into university. I really look up to him now. He’s my hero.

3. Nobody is perfect and this includes my best friend, Molly. She tends to be moody and pessimistic, which is a bit irritating. But the worst thing is that she plays with her mobile phone every time we meet. Last week we argued over this and we haven’t talked to each other since.

There must be a solution to this problem because if we don’t fix it, we’ll lose each other. It isn’t worth losing your friend over something like this, is it? 4. Do you feel embarrassed by your parents? If so, do something about it.

Don’t shout at them, shut the door behind you or feel angry. Instead, explain to them how the whole situation makes you feel. If it is about your parents’ cool teenage clothes, tell them these are not necessary for you to know that they are good and understanding parents. If it’s about their sense of humor in front of your friends, ask them not to joke like that. Tell them you admire them anyway.
