The urgency of the project: Never has a generation gap been as wide as it is today, with parents having very little understanding of the opportunities and the risks involved with the digital environments where their children are growing up in. They don't talk to their children or share their own points of views with the children.
The aims of the Project: The aims of the Project: • To fish out some problems which teenagers and their parents face nowadays. • To analyze the causes of the main problems. • To work out possible solutions to the problems.
The biggest problems are media and technology. Never before in the history we have been faced with a situation where each living generation is focused around a different technology platform.

Parents’ Behaviour A lack of understanding often results in two extremes in response from parents
Teenagers’ problems with alcohol and other drugs are occurring at 12 years of age, in contrast to 13 to 14 years of age in previous generations. Recent research has shown that beer is now the drink of choice for many teenagers.

I’d like to suggest some solutions to improve relationship between teenagers and their parents: 1. Teenagers should try to do what their parents tell them and not do what their parents dislike. 2. On the other hand, parents should also know how to react with their children in the best way. 3. In case of insomnia in teenagers, it is important for them to get into a regular routine with their sleep. If they can establish a habit, most of the sleep problems will disappear. 4. Parents should not ignore experimentation with alcohol and drugs in the hope that their teenage son or daughter will somehow learn about the risks involved or outgrow his or her drug-related behaviour. Parents should talk to their children about the risks and dangers. I’d like to suggest some solutions to improve relationship between teenagers and their parents: 1.

It's not easy for a teenager to solve his problems and , for every problem, the same solution is not possible. It's very important for parents to know the right way in which their teenaged children should be treated.
