When you are a teenager, it can be hard to open up to your parents about your problems and concerns. Your friends are likely to talk to you more than your parents. However, you still need their support. It's a great way for friends to support you in talking about a variety of topics. It can be awkward to talk to someone about your feelings, or anything that isn’t family-related. Here are some suggestions to make it easier for you to speak to your parents.
Talk to your parents and avoid texting while you are talking.
Do not text sensitive information, regardless of whether you're speaking with your parents in person and/or sending them a message via text. If your parents ask for you to borrow their smartphone, it is best to not look at the phone. If your parents ask you to borrow their phone, don't.
Avoid saying 'I'm sorry' out loud
If you feel you have done something wrong and don't want it to be said out loud, think before you speak. You want to make sure you've considered what the other person will think of you, as saying it out loud may seem hollow and lack sincerity. Try to imagine how your mom would feel if she were in your shoes, and make sure you take full responsibility for your actions.
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. Talking to your parents about difficult topics can be too emotional. It is important that you are not emotionally charged and give your point of views. You should always express your feelings and then offer a solution. Before you talk to your parents, make sure to write down your thoughts. Then, read them carefully and reflect on them before you start talking to them.
Send us information about you and your life
If your parents are recovering alcoholics, it may be beneficial to share details about your personal life with them. This will help your parents understand what's going on in your personal life and allow you to make better choices. Don't feel obliged to tell everything. Do what feels right for you, and share the things you've done. This will allow them to see their limits. Alcoholic parents might not be able support you or be there for you.
Ask for their support
There are several ways you can ask for your parents' support when talking to them about a difficult issue. Make sure that you make time for them to talk. It is best to find a place that is quiet, with no distractions. 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 questions and topics you want to discuss during the meeting.

How can I stop my son or daughter from bullying others.
Bullying is a serious problem for many young people.
Some children bully their peers because they feel insecure. Some bully to make someone else feel bad.
Most bullies don't know the consequences they cause. They think they are doing nothing wrong.
So it's important to find ways to prevent bullying in schools.
Here are some tips.

Is gentle parenting good?
It depends on what you mean by "good." If you are referring to how children are treated, I would say yes. However, if you're asking whether it's good for them, I'd have to say no. They require firmness and discipline at times. Otherwise, they'll never learn how to behave properly.
Children need limits and rules. Without them, children will never know what is acceptable behavior. They won't know how to respect others and follow directions.
If you want to know which parenting style I favor, it would be none. Each style is equally effective. The key is finding the one that works best for you and your family.
How do I know if my child requires more discipline?
Different levels of development mean that children require different amounts and types of discipline.
If your child is very young (under about two years old), then he/she may benefit from being spanked occasionally.
However, if your child is older, he/she may need more structure and guidance.
Before you make any significant changes to your parenting style, you should talk with your doctor about changes in your child’s behavior.
