Changes in a teen's physical and cognitive（认知的）development come with big changes in their relationships with family and friends. Teens want more (independent) and more emotional distance between them and their parents. A teen's focus often changes to social interactions and friendships.

During the teens, a much (deep) understanding of one's self occurs. Teens start to learn to work out problems on (they) own. With more reasoning and intuitive（直觉的）abilities, teens start to face new responsibilities and to enjoy their thoughts and actions. Teens start to have thoughts and fantasies about their future and adult life.

Teens spend more time with friends. They report feeling more understood and accepted by their friends. Less and less time  (spend) with parents and other family  (member).

Close friendships tend to develop between teens with similar interests and social classes. While childhood friendships tend to be based  commom activities， teen friendships expand(扩大）to include similarities in attitudes,values,and 

(share) activties.Teen friendshipps also tend to focus on educational interests. Especially for girls, close, intimate（亲密的）, self-disclosing conversations with friends help to explore identities and define one's sense of self. The friendships of teen boys tend to be less intimate those of girls. Boys are more likely to form an alliance（结盟）with a group of friends accept each other's worth through actions and deeds rather than (person) sharing.

There was a girl who could do anything she wanted. All she had to do was to choose something and 1  So, one day she sat down and began to 2 . Every stroke (笔画）was more perfect than the next. When she finished painting, she stared 3  at her work and smiled.

It was obvious that she had a 4 . She was an artist. But a few moments after she finished painting. she got 5  and quickly stood up. Because she realized that 6  she had the ability to do anything she 7  to do, she was simply spending all her time painting.

She felt like there was so much more in the world to see and do-so many 8 . And if she decided to do something else, then all the time she spent painting would be a 9  So she walked out the door.

She had to choose one thing to do out of all the possibilities in the world. Should she practice medicine? Or design buildings? She was 10  

Twenty-five years later, the girl began to cry. She 11 that over the years she had become so enamored (迷恋) of everything that she could do that she hadn't done anything 12 at all. And she learned, at last, that life isn't about 13 —anything is possible. Life is about making a decision.

So the girl continued painting through the day and into the night，because she had 14  made a decision.And there was still some 15  to enjoy the magic that life is all about.

Teenagers hate being treated like children, but don't expect them to be teenagers. but parents trying to encourage these changes often do more harm than good.

For example, you and the rest of your family are heading up to the mall for a few hours. , so you decide not to encourage her to come with you. It seems like a very respectful thing to take into account her feelings, but when you return she is unhappy. . She could have been caught up in a friend drama or some other kind of drama, or she could be feeling hurt. , but maybe you should have at least talked with her about it. Even knowing that you wanted to spend time with her would probably have made her feel good.

Some people may say that it is unreasonable for parents to allow their children to ask for constant (不断的) attention, but spending 30 extra seconds to make sure your children know you care about them only allows them to have a part of the self-worth they are so lacking (缺乏) at this time in their lives.

Expecting them to be emotionally distant (疏远)from you only strengthens the idea that they should be. . When they need a break from the high school soap opera, you will both be glad you didn't close that door.

A. So you are trying to be supportive

B. Actively listen to her and say as little as possible

C. Maybe she really didn't want to go to the mall with you

D. Your daughter doesn't want to be seen with you in public

E. Many things could have gone wrong while you were away

F. Always give them the choice to be an independent teen or your baby girl

G. They are growing up and may want to change things about their habits or activities
