40. Politics:
Politics can be a real area of tension
in families, particularly if you do not share the same views as your
teenager.
We have undergone a period of voter
apathy recently but this appears to be changing as more and young
people are starting to insist that their voice is heard.
Youth Parliament UK is an organisation
that encourages young people to get involved in politics:
It is a good idea to be well informed
about the various political parties, so when your teenager asks
questions you are able to answer them accurately.
It is helpful to discuss your views
with your teenager in a balanced way and to respect their difference
of opinion. Being able to share opinions and have informed debates
are useful life skills. If you model this then your teen is likely to
adopt this approach and learn how to make their voice heard clearly
and concisely.
