When you have a difficult teenager and your family is experiencing a lot of teenagers–family conflict, you might feel like you’re on your own or that no other family has the same struggles that you do. But while it may seem like every other family has a perfect home life, teenager–family conflicts are very common.
Teenagers want to be seen as mature and responsible, but they are still children, which can make teenagers feel resentful or stifled. And when parents and children, or siblings, are fighting, it can make everyday life difficult and even painful.
If your family is struggling with teenager conflicts, know that you’re not alone. Many families struggle with teen–family conflicts every day, and you can get the help you need from a professional counselor.
