How can parents deal with the behavior of adolescents in today's world?
Today's adolescents are very different from those of the past, that is, from previous generations. Parents often ask for help in the behavior of their adolescent children, for the behaviors and attitudes they constantly go through.

In all adolescents there are changes, but it is more noticeable and they manifest themselves when these points exist:
- The change of the body.
- The lack of security.
- What causes hormonal changes, both psychological and physical.
- Humor changes.
- The fears of facing the world by itself.
- The confrontation with parents.
- Social networks.
- Mobile phone.
- The models to follow, that is, the adults, the representative images in their lives.
Parents and the strength they need to help them cope and understand adolescents

Parents usually at home tend to magnify what happens with their children, see small problems as a big event and tend to despair.
This age of adolescence is strong for both adolescents and parents, young people try to be more adult, be self-sufficient in a way that does not involve parents, which is them and that there is nothing and no one else; There the difficulties arise, they are only small children, and they need reinforcement, that of the parents, love, affection, help and understanding.
Everything teenagers live there are emotions that they should let go and that's what parents are for.
The confrontation of life chapters or difficult topics with children

There are always problems that are much more difficult to deal with adolescents, but it must be faced with responsibility, because if they are not treated, the right moment is lost and that is when the problems get worse.
The importance of including models of inspiring people on issues that may leave a mark on adolescents, changing their behavior in the present and in the future
The examples of people who inspire change the lives of adolescents. The testimonies of real life are those that help determine behaviors, ways of being and even help what they want to become.

The reprimands, the screams that are useless, come and go from the heads of the adolescents, we must make them understand how life works through real testimonies.
