It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel
ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. “Why can’t they just let me go ” you may wonder.
On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes
they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.

3. What stresses do the parents of a teenager have to deal with
How do they influence the parent-child relationship
Parents may worry about their children’s performance at school. If children fail to get good grades, their parents might start to be stricter, believing they are not doing their best. This in turn makes their children upset.
n. 精神压力，紧张
Parents may also worry that their children are not making the “right” friends.
As a result, they might ask a lot of questions about their children’s friends, such as where they are going and what they are doing together. This can make their children feel like they are not trusted.
