There seems to be an increasing fracture in the relationships between teens/young adults and their parents. Why is there so much discord in parent-child relationships at this stage? Whose fault is it usually in the case of teenagers squabbling with parents? Who is at fault in the case of young adults beefing with parents? What can parents do to 'fix' this? What can youngsters do to 'fix' this? Can it be fixed? Is there a common ground...can the two 'parties' agree to disagree and maintain a loving relationship? Your thoughts please...Examples and personal experiences are welcome too.
