As a teenager it can be difficult for you to speak up about your concerns and problems to your parents. You will probably talk to your friends more than to your parents, but you need their support. It's a great way for friends to support you in talking about a variety of topics. But it can feel awkward talking about your feelings with an adult, or any other topic that isn't about your family. Listed below are some tips that will make it easier to talk to your parents.
Be careful not to text or check your phone when you're talking with your parents
You should not send sensitive information to your parents, whether you are talking to them in person or texting them. If your parents ask for you to borrow their smartphone, it is best to not look at the phone. You should never lend your parent's phone. They are often not tech-savvy.
Do not say 'I'm sorry' loud
You can think before you speak if you have done wrong. It is important to consider what other people will think. Imagine how your mom would feel if you were her, and take full responsibility for what you do.
Ask for their point of view
It's important to remember your parents are the most likely to listen to thoughtful suggestions when you talk to them about difficult topics. 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. After you have written them down, make sure to review them and reflect upon them before talking to your parents.
Send us information about you and your life
You may share details about your life with your parents if they are alcoholics. This will help your parents understand what's going on in your personal life and allow you to make better choices. You don't have to tell them everything. Share only what is safe for you and what you have done. This will help your parents to understand what their limits are. Your parents may not be able or willing to support your plans if they are alcoholics.
Ask for their support
You have many options to ask your parents for their support in addressing a difficult topic. You must first make the effort to find time to talk with them. Find a quiet space with no distractions and no other people if possible. Once you have scheduled the time to talk, you should call them to let him or her know that you are coming to their house. Prepare some topics and questions to discuss during this time.
