Fellowship Hall

Have you ever had these thoughts toward your parents:
> My parents treat me like I’m still a child!
> My parents are so old school it’s embarrassing!
> My parents’ rules are way too strict!
> My parents are hard to talk to; they don’t listen to me!
If these thoughts sound familiar to you, then you are not alone. Many teens have these kinds of thoughts, but that does not mean such thoughts should be embraced or accepted as normal. God clearly does not intend for there to be such frustrations within our families. Note what these verses say about the relationship between parents and teens:
> Prov. 17:6 – Parents are a teenager’s pride.
> Psalm 127:3-5 – Children are a blessing from the Lord.
> Prov. 6:20-23 – Parents can offer direction and protection, and
they can be good for meaningful conversations
