The desire for more privacy is a natural part of growing up. In fact, privacy is essential for teens to gain autonomy and individuality. It can be hard for parents to let go of supervising every aspect of their child's life. But giving kids more and more freedom is a key part of helping them grow up and develop the skills they need to be functioning adults.

Why Teens Need Privacy From Their Parents

New data sheds light on stereotypically sullen teenagers, and it turns out they are more complex than you may think. Here’s what they actually need from you.

What your teen actually wants you to do when they are upset

If your teenager often seems moody and volatile, you might be tempted to dismiss it as normal teenage behavior that will eventually pass.

In 1919, famed author Rudyard Kipling published his poem, “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” as a warning against progressivism (or in his day, Fabian socialism). Today. it reads more like prophecy. Glenn reads the poem, which describes a world that has denied reality, bought into a promise of peace (if only they surrender their weapons to the elites), and where “our women had no more children and our men had lost reason and faith.” Sound familiar? But the poem hasn’t been fully fulfilled yet. The next stop is a place where “we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy.” This is our last chance, Glenn warns, before “‘the gods of the copybook headings,’ — the TRUTH — ‘with terror and slaughter return.’”
