V. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
The concept of parental authority has changed. Today, no parent can take their children’s
respect for granted: authority has to be earned. Several studies have shown the following
problems.
Trust: A lot of young people say their parents don’t trust them. Some of them have no
privacy: their parents read all their emails, and enter their rooms without knocking. All of
these actions demonstrate lack of respect. Consequently, these teenagers have little respect
for their parents. Communication: Hardly any teens discuss their problems with their
parents. That’s because very few teens feel their parents really listen to them. Instead,
most parents tend to fire off an immediate response to their kids’ first sentence.
Freedom: Interestingly, most rebels come from very authoritarian homes where kids have
very little freedom. Teens need fewer rules, but they have to be clear and unchangeable.
Also, if the mother and father don’t agree about discipline, teens have less respect for both
parents. They also need a lot of support and a little freedom to take their own decisions.
None of them enjoy just listening to adults.
Role models: Teens don’t have much respect for their parents if neither of them actually
does things that they expect their children to do. Like everybody, teens appreciate people
who practise what they preach.
