How can you possibly say a teen should relate to their parents? How can a fifteen year old comprehend what it's like to have a fifteen year old? I'm in my 20s and have no idea how that is or to have any kids for that matter. You can't relate to something you have no experiance in. The parents on the other hand have been there, might have been a while ago, but they've been there. Sure times have changed but I'm sure some of the frustration is the same.
