17 Signs of Trouble - Bored/ unmotivated at school - Not involved in anything - Alcohol, Drugs, Sex - Coming home late at night -Friends -(McElwee)

18 Why? - Teenage Rebellion is an important issue, because if we can prevent the rebellion, then we wont have all of the social issue's that they bring with them and all the problems that the rebellion includes. - Also, this is important and an issue because in happens with almost all teenagers, some having greater problems, but none the less it happens with most teenager and it can be prevented to most terms.

19 What parents can do to help 1. Set Firm Rules - don't let the teenager feel like they are in control. Follow through with punishments. 2. Talk to them as Adults- growing up they don't want to be kids. Respect them as you would any other adult. 3. Stay Involved- have family time/ activity time. Do stuff that requires interaction. 4. Avoid Confrontation- makes teens want to rebel more. 5. Be Patient - the change can't happen over night. (McElwee)
