Welcome to our phone in program. Tonight we’re going to talk about parents and teenagers. With our problem page advisor Melanie. If you’ve got something to say on this. Give us a call. And our first caller is Steph. What do you want to say Steph? My problem is that I want to stay out late. But my parents say that I have to be home by 9 o’clock. I mean I can understand that during the week. Because I have to go to school the next day. But it’s the same at weekends. How old are you Steph? I’m 15. And have you discussed it with your parents. Yes I have, but they just won’t listen. Nothing’s changed. Okay, thank you for that Steph. Now we’ve got Jack. Hi, I just wanted to say that I don’t have any problems with my parents. We don’t argue about things. Sometimes we have a disagreement, but we discuss it and we usually find a solution to the problem. Well, it’s good to hear that Jack. So not everyone has a problem with their parents. And our next caller is Chris. What do you want to say Chris? I’ve got my own bedroom and it’s like my own space. But my mom always comes in and tidies it. I don’t like that. It’s my room and I like it untidy. That should be my choice. And I’m sure she reads my emails when she’s in there too. Okay, thanks Chris. And our last caller before we have some music is Nina. Hi, I’d like to say that not all teenagers have problems with their parents. Most of my friends get on well with their mom and dad. So do I. We have a lot of fun in our family. And I can always go to my parents for advice. Okay thank you Nina. It’s nice to end with a positive view. Well, we’re going to take a break for some music there. If you want to discuss any of the calls that we’ve heard. Give us a ring. After the break, we’ll hear to Melanie’s advice to our callers.
