As a teenager it can be difficult for you to speak up about your concerns and problems to your parents. Although you will likely talk more to your friends than your parents, it is important to have their support. Friends can be a great support system for you to talk about many topics. It can be awkward to talk to someone about your feelings, or anything that isn’t family-related. Below are some tips to help you communicate with your parents.
Talk to your parents and avoid texting while you are talking.
Texting sensitive information is not a good idea, no matter if you are speaking to your parents face-to-face or texting them. Even if your parents ask you to borrow their phone for an innocent reason, like to take a picture of your sibling or look at your prom date picture, resist the urge to look at your phone. You should never lend your parent's phone. They are often not tech-savvy.
It's best to not exclaim "I'm sorry" loudly
You can think before you speak if you have done wrong. Being open to the possibility of being judged by others, it is important that you consider how they will view you. Imagine how your mom would feel if you were her, and take full responsibility for what you do.
Ask them about their points of view
When talking to your parents about difficult topics, it's important to remember that they're the ones who are most likely to respond best to well-considered proposals. Do not get too emotional to share your parents' points of view. Instead, express your feelings and offer a solution. Write down your ideas if you can before you speak to your parents. Before you talk to your parents, take the time to read through them and reflect on them.
Please share information about your life
You may share details about your life with your parents if they are alcoholics. This will allow them to better understand you and your choices. Don't feel pressured to tell them everything. You can share only what's safe and what you've done. This will help your parents to understand what their limits are. They may not be available to support your plans, or even be present for you if your parents are an alcoholic.
Ask them for their support
You have many options to ask your parents for their support in addressing a difficult topic. The first thing is to make sure you have the time and space to talk to your parents. It is best to find a place that is quiet, with no distractions. Once you have set a time to speak, call the person and inform them that you will be there. During this time, prepare some questions and topics to talk about.
