clear winner Like a border conflict between neighboring countries the parent teen war is about boundaries Where is the line between what I control and what you do Both sides want peace but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict In part this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it From the parents point of view the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete unreasonableness And of course the teens see it in exactly the same way except oppositely Both feel trapped In this article I ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap The first no win situation is quarrel on unimportant things Examples include the color of the teen s hair the cleanness of the bedroom the preferred style of clothing the child s failure to eat a good breakfast before school or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends Second blaming The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong Third needing to be right It doesn t matter what the topic is politics the laws of physics or the proper way to break an egg the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong for both wish to be considered an authority someone who actually knows something and therefore to

the other C gain respect from the other D get the other to behave properly 4 What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows A Causes for the parent teen conflicts B Examples of the parent teen war C Solutions for the parent teen problems D Future of the parent teen relationship 四 Wearing shabby clothes and stretching out a dirty hand towards people this is the traditional
