theyre just a few examples of the many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child. as a kid, you didnt have a say in very much that went on; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. and its a good thing, too kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they arent mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own.but eventually, kids grow up and become teens. and part of being a teen is developing your own identity one that is separate from the identities of your parents. its totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; its what prepares them for adulthood.in most families, its this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. you want to cover your walls with posters; they dont understand why you dont like your sesame street wallpaper anymore. you think its ok to hang at the mall every day after school; they would rather that you play a sport. clashes like these are very common between teens and parents teens get angry because they feel parents dont respect them and arent giving them space to do what they like, and parents get angry because they arent used to not being in control.its easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these. and more complicated issues like the types of friends you have or your attitudes about sex and partying can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are.the good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teen has a right to certain opinions and an identity that may be different from theirs. it can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. in the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can.sometimes this can feel impossible like they just dont see your point of view and never will. but talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach compromises that make everyone happy. for example, if you are willing to clean your room in order to stay out an hour later, both you and your parents walk away with a good deal. keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what youre going through.steves mind wanders as he does his homework. im never going to do well on this history test, he thinks. my dads right, im just like him ill never amount to much. distracted, he looks down and thinks how skinny his legs are. ugh, he says to himself. i bet the football coach wont even let me try out when he sees what a wimp i am.julio is studying for the same history test as steve, and hes also not too fond of the subject. but thats where the similarity ends. julio has a completely different outlook. hes more likely to think, ok, history again, what a pain. thank goodness im acing the subject i really love math. and when julio thinks about the way he looks, its also a lot more positive. although he is shorter and skinnier than steve, julio is less likely to blame or criticize his body and more likely to think, i may be skinny, but i can really run. id be a good addition to the football team.we all have a mental picture of who we are, how we look, what were good at, and what our weaknesses might be. we develop this picture over time, starting when were very young kids. the term self-image is used to refer to a persons mental picture of himself or herself. a lot of our self-image is based on interactions we have with other people and our life experiences. this mental picture (our self-image) contributes to our self-esteem.self-esteem is all about how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others and how much we value, love, and accept ourselves. people with healthy self-esteem are able to feel good about themselves, appreciate their own worth, and take pride in their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. people with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they cant do well in anything.we all experience problems with self-esteem at certain times in our lives especially during our teens when were figuring out who we are and where we fit in the world. the good news is that, bec
