When your having troubles with your teens concerning the generation gap it's usually because you think they can't possibly know what their doing and that they will get into so much trouble without your help. On the otherhand, as sad as this sounds, your completely wrong.

When the newest stuff comes out and you don't know a thing about it. It doesn't mean that it's bad. It just means that you aren't sure of it and don't know what to do. On the otherhand, your teenager does. As much as you would like to be apart of his/her life and make sure they are safe you must realise that it isn't going to happen. I'm not saying to not do your job to protect them. I'm saying that you need to be cautious of what you say.

Try to learn about what they are using before listing a bunch of failure ideas of how something can go wrong. Try getting evidence and then approaching the situation. Teens may not listen to their parents, but it's because we truly beleive they don't know what their talking about when it comes to the latest technology. However, when you research it and get advice from skilled people other than yourself then it can help you out in helping you teen.

I'm not saying this applies to all teenagers either. You as the parent know your child best, yet because of that you may need to find someone else to back up what you say. So they're not yelling at you but at someone who you went to.

I hope this helped out and if you need anymore advice leave me some comments and I will answer them as soon as possible. Thanks for the request. I'd love to see many more.
