Parenting adolescent problems

Although adolescence is not the time of stress and strain that developmental theorists once thought it was, parents do sometimes have to deal with problems that result from poor decision making or abnormal development on the part of their teenagers.

For this discussion, pick one of the issues below. Based on your learning materials for the week or other web resources, write about what experts in the field say about the best way for parents to cope with adolescent problems. Your response should be at least several paragraphs in length and demonstrate your best writing skills. Your writing should be original - do not rely on quotes. Be sure to use citations as needed.

Because you will be covering different topics, I would like you to respond substantively to at least two other classmates this week in order to earn full credit.

Topics (pick one):

· teen pregnancy

· substance abuse

· smoking

· bullying

· being bullied

· eating disorders

· reckless driving

· violence

· gang membership

· criminal behavior

· promiscuity

· mental illness
