Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they only go to their friends for getting ideas.
It is very important for teenagers to have a friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking on the phone. These conversations are very important in children's growing up, because they can discuss something difficult to their family members.
Parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of "choice" is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?
