Raising Teenagers 


Carl: Hi Marla, I’m really surprised to see you here. I didn’t know you had kids attending this high school. 


Marla: I don’t – not yet. I heard about this meeting and decided 1 to attend. It’s best to be ready for those teenage years, don’t you think? 


Carl: Sure. 


Marla: I heard that the principal is going to talk about different ways to handle our teenagers as they start asserting their independence. I want to be prepared. 


Carl: That makes sense, I guess. 


Marla: I mean, more and more teenagers are rebelling by getting tattoos 2 and piercings and experimenting with drugs. 


Carl: You’ve clearly done a lot of thinking about this. 


Marla: I’ve read a few books on the topic, about kids having to deal with peer pressure. It’s my job as a parent to set boundaries and be stricter if it’s called for and ease up when my child needs space. 


Carl: That’s all very insightful, but you have some time before all that comes into play, right? 


Marla: My little Lucas is already four years old. Who knows when he might start hanging out with the wrong crowd and being led astray. A parent has to be vigilant 3
