How do you think teens are most misunderstood?
What are the best ways to communicate or relate to teens?
What are your best memories from this time of your life?

Adults think that because we are young, that we should just be happy. Exactly why do we have to be happy just because we're young? We are going through a lot and it's irritating when adults expect so much out of us. There is only so much we can take. The way to communicate with one (at least with me) is by listening to me and asking me questions about me but not making it seem like you're just trying to get into my business. Also taking interest in what I like to do instead of telling me that what I like to do or telling me what music, movies I listen to are stupid. It's your opinion, yes, but I really don't care about your opinion on it if your just trying to tell me as if it's some kind of fact when in FACT it's just your opinion. I'd have to say that my best memories are some of the ones with my family and good times with friends, such as Megan. Or when I'm going to the movies with my mom, even though we argue quite a bit. Good memories to me aren't when I get that first kiss because that's not going to matter in the after life. Although happiness does matter to me and if a boy makes me happy then I do notice it.
