If you are desiring greater freedoms, then accept greater responsibilities. While living under someone else's roof, I suggest you abide by their rules. All of the teens on the internet cannot change your parents household policy. I hope they stick to their guns.

Glad you asked, although it is probably too late to help someone if they are already a teen. SO, it is the responsibility of everyone in our society to instill values in children from birth. Monkey see, Monkey do ; parents need to be good role models, turn off the television and spend time with their families !\nThat is exactly how you help teen-aged boys ! ...... AND girls !\nGood luck.

OK, so everyone says they are not mature enough.  I think he should give exampls on why are kids 13-17 NOT mature.  They spend all day playing the XBox 360, play the ball and jacking off.  They don't have a job, to appreciate a salary or wage and to recent the government for taking most of it in taxes.  They don't have a car, so they don't experience the joy of road rage and traffic that makes you get to work late and therefore get fired, lose your house to foreclosure and end up in the gutter.  I dooon't think people younger than 30 should be allowed to vote.  But I'm 35, so that's OK.

I feel that the young adults are nieve in this world. Kids are not being guided by their parents anymore. When they are faced with adult issues and get into trouble they don't know where to go for guidence or help and everyone is too eager to throw them in jail and throw away the key.\nParents really need to be there for their kids and show them how to be better people and then the "struggle" is less of a struggle

GET SOME COUNSELLING! -- if your parents don't support you, go to a guidance counsellor, a trusted teacher at school, a minister, a teen help phoneline, a women's crisis center -- YOU CANNOT RESOLVE THIS ON YOUR OWN DEAR!! (not on Y! Answers either)

You must totally agree with Islam, Xtianity and Homos.  Plus, you must appease all teenagers who have nothing else to do.

It's so refreshing to hear a teenager care about what is going on around them.  It's also great that your mom talks politics with you. Keep on learning as much as you can.  Everyone has the right to be heard.  Anyone complaining needs to get off of their butt and DO SOMETHING!!!

I've had friends like that too. And you can only do so much. Sometimes, they need to learn on their own, as much as it may hurt you to see them get hurt, but at least you know that you have trie to advise them well. However, let them know that you are there and that you are willing to listen. Perhaps, you can find a place where they help teens with problems and get help together.

i think each state should be mandated to try teenages as an adult, with no parole, no bail and a daily schedule made up for them in the institute that are assigned to. make it more military than just a sentence until they get out. they do not what is requested of them like the military they are punished again and again until they learn. it only takes 1 kid to kill someone and devastate a family.

It's called rebellion.  I had 3 teenage girls at the same time.  A teen feels they are old enough to make their own decisions and don't need their parents telling them what to do.  You don't realize that your parents were once teens also and they know and understand what is going on with you because they went through it to.  truth is, you are not old enough to know better.  You think you are, but you are not.  Parents only want what is best for their children no matter what age.  As hard as it may be, try listening to your parents.  Sit down and talk.  Ask them why they are being so forbidden on certain liberties that you want.  You will be surprised how understanding parents can really be.  Don't give up...it gets better, believe me.

believe it or not your parents know more than you do\n\nu dont pay your own way so u have to live by the rules that they put forth....... get a job..... show that u are responsible........ give your parents $20 a week........ act like an adult and u will be treated better........ but being grounded for not following their rules isnt having your rights taken away...... it is called growing up

Assuming you would want to stand up to peer pressure:  \nIt's very hard to be a teenager today; your parents expect you to live up to their expectations, and your friends expect you to be one of the crowd, even if this means going against your parents' wishes.  The threat held over you is that you are "not cool," are "immature," or a thousand other terms that are designed to make you feel that you do not have a will of your own.

I am a supporter of anyone who is trying to make their life better and trying to create a future for their children.  I am glad you can now see both sides of this issue.  I support HUMAN BEINGS!!!

Don't you dare. I don't want to support you, I have enough trouble supporting myself and all the other lazy people on it. Don't get me wrong, I AM liberal, however, it should be MY CHOICE who I want to give help to, I shouldn't have to pay into it by force.

It is unfortunate that the majority of people in this country are still so scared of the possibility of gays living equal among them. Why else place such a ridiculous ban? Some will say that children raised by gay parents will have it a lot harder. I disagree. I am amazed at how open and honest the youth in todays schools are. The only ones I know of that are homophobic have learned the behavior and language from their parents. If the youth of today can accept each other, why can't the adults? Fear. My partner and I just placed a question on here about how to adopt. the answers ranged form "Yuck" to 'How dare we drag a child into our fantasy?" These answers just mirror the fear and ignorance of the majority of Americans. Gays are accepted as long as we are funny, and the life of the party, but as soon as we stop acting like the characters on a sit-com we become a threat. The ban doesn't surprise me. the real question here is what to do about? How do accepting, open minded, loving people fight against such fear?
