Some people view conflict between teenagers and parents as a necessary part of growing up, while others view it as something negative which should be avoided. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Certain people are of the opinion that the conflict that exists between

parents

and their young

children

is essential to their growth

while

others think in the opposite direction, I completely agree that it is a negative development because it has a lot of bad consequences in the lives of the

children

as they transit to adulthood.

To begin

with, A conflict between

parents

and their offspring will lead to a lack of trust. Guidance is much needed when a child is developing into a teenager because there is so much they want to explore, a sore relationship will not allow the youngster to confide in his/her

parents

thereby reducing the influence of the guardians.

For instance

, a study carried out by Vanguard Newspapers shows that most of these unruly youths that parade the streets of Lagos came from unhealthy homes.

Additionally

, These conflicts can turn the younger generation into aggressive adults.

Parents

can be referred to as the first teachers of their offspring

thus

it is assumed that any behaviour portrayed by them will form the basis of a child's behavioural pattern, rather than resulting in conflicts, adults can teach these

children

about how to resolve issues calmly by way of talking with them,

This

approach

instead

of damaging the youth's brain will build the child into a responsible adult. In summary, Fights and quarrels between

parents

and their

children

can be discussed from many perspectives

However

, I am of the opinion that avoiding them is the key to building a trustworthy relationship.
