August 15, 2008 @ 11:29 amQ1. A good parent should never wack his or her son or
daughter
A ideal parent should be able to take control over the kids. Always tell them wat to do.:)
Q2. A good teenager should never smoke or drink or have sex when he is 18 or over.:)
August 15, 2008 @ 11:31 amQ1.i think a good parent should like support the child in everything that they do such as sport, school, socially and etc if a parent didnt support there child in whatever they do then the child would have low self-esteem and wont feel good about himself and wont participate in anything at school, outside of school and in social as well
Q2.i reckon a good teenager should posses the ability to communicate to people with no intimidation they should help the community in like rubbish day or like plant a tree and stuff like that and yer
August 15, 2008 @ 11:31 amQ1. Parents responsibilities towards their children should be to house their child, give them a place to sleep, which is warm. Feed them. Educate them, send them to be educated. Clothe them. Be there for them. Transport them to where they need to be. Allow them to have a social life.
Things like that.
And ideal parent should be understanding to younger generations and not expect everything to be the same, as it was when they were growing up. They shouldnt let their kids run a muck, and do what they want. But they shouldnt shove their faces with rules, and expect them to never want to go out.
A good parent should never give too many rules, and never give none.
Q2. I suppose my responsibilities in my family is to do what im told, and do the chores im asked to do.
August 15, 2008 @ 11:32 amAn ideal teenager should posses good communication and negotiaton skills.
A good teenager should never expect everything they want to be there for them.
a good parent takes care of their kid, offers support and always stands by them.They should support their kid financually and emotionally. A good parent should should never beat their kids. A teenager should help their family out when they can and offer support to them aswell. A good teenager should never lash out at their parents
August 15, 2008 @ 11:32 amParents should not lets kids out of control, if kids do get out of control it should be the responsability of parents to make them better again. Parents should also not take control of thier kids lives. Parents should provide food, water, shelter, and care for thier kids.
August 15, 2008 @ 11:33 amA good parent should never forget is that although they may be your kids they are not you and will do things diffrently to you did as a child and as a adult.
Ok. well a parent/s.
should always be there for there chil/ren.
Should always discuss issues together calmly.
Should NEVER hurt there child because they know there child/ren are there world.
If the child has a problem and you want to talk to someone your oarents should never reject your thoughts.
You should always provide
*kindness
*a good friendship
*or a good bond
*you should always be secure around parents or children
*always tell your child that you will ALWAYS be there for them through thick and thin
I think a good ideal parent should
*tell there child that they are the most important thing to them in their lives
*let them know that they will always be there for them
*I personally think parents letting your child know that they can be trusted means a great deal to me.
I DON;T THINK A PARENT/GUARDIAN should
August 15, 2008 @ 11:36 am*never hit there children
* make them feel like they have done something wrong and it can never be fixed
*telling your child that they are useless and they are the worst thing in there lives
*Rejecting the childs oppinion and thoughts
*telling your child there ridiculous and wish they where never born….

parents have a responsitbility to raise you properly so they dont like turn into something they shouldnt.
August 15, 2008 @ 11:37 amthey should also support you through everything. emotionaly, if they have problems, and also through like if they have to choose out of something or some shizzzz.
my responsibility as a teenager is to listen to my parents, help around the house. a good parent would never let there child dow, or not take proper care of them.
a good teenager should never go behind their parents back.
q1 i think parents should never let there kid walk ovethem kid need dicsapline parents shold provide love to there kids and not be abusive they should get the basic stuff like food water a house a car parents should care for there childs education parents shuold nevvver r evvvvvverrrrrrrrrrrr send there child to a another family that is the most worst thing any parent can do other than molesting parents should be there when your sad angery happy parents shuold be ther 24/7 15 year old parents are stupid they cant provide and the kids mum has to take care of the child so age is inportent that 100 words
August 15, 2008 @ 11:37 am1:i think that a parent should always be supportive of thier child, I nkow some parents that compare thier children to other peoples children because they are better at something, this is shoking it shouldnt matter how they look how smart they are or how good they are at sport,the parent should always be supportive.
The responsibilities that a parent should have towards thier children is should not let your child to just rome around the streets this prevents the children from getting oin with the wrong croud and bad things like shop lifting, smoking and getting drunk. The things that the paretn should provide a roof for them to sleep under food and entertaining thigs like a ps2 or a bike.
2.My responsibility as a teenager is to me a very big role in a family, I dont rome around the streets i dont smoke and only some times drink but parents allow if they are with me. I think my parents love that i am a good teenager she relies on me to look after the little kids when she goes out and she can trust me.
August 15, 2008 @ 11:39 amI think my mum love the group of friends that i have she tells me every day that she is happy with the friends that i have got, she also love how sport takes up alot of time and i dont get a chance to be an idiot on the streets, i even got a job so she dosent have to give me money when i want to go out i’m pretty sure she loves that, i also save my money for when im eighteen so i dont have to rely omn her to get me a car. i think i have passed the things that a good teenager should never do these are things like smoke drink drugs and all this stuff so im not to bad and if i was a parent i would be happy with my child if it was me, even though i can be a smart ass.
Q1.
a parents responsibilities should be to look after there child like a hawk but at the same time give them space when there child needs it and if they want to go out dont tell them not to but give them a time they should come back at because if you tell them they cant go anywere they’ll slowly stop listening to you and will never do what you ask them also if there sad dont force them to tell you anything just tell them “if you need to talk im right here for you” and that’ll get them talking and a realy good parent will never make promises they cant keep because if you do make a promise and cant keep it the child or children will stop trusting you.
Q2.
i take the rolle of the father in the house because i have no parents and live with my grandparents, i look after 3 of my younger brothers and occasionaly both of my cousins.the basic and most quality a teenager must have is to smile and be able to talk to others and one thing a teenager should never do is lie to others its like a rule for teenagers around the world NEVER LIE if you cant take the consequences even if you can never lie people wont trust you anymore and a teenager with no trust is like a race car driver with no car

August 15, 2008 @ 11:41 amAs a parents responsiblity towards their children.
I think that they have to support the child through everything such as support with school, with their social lives, extra curriculum, money to a cirtain degree well basically everything untill they are ready to move on with their own lives and take care of themselves.
An Ideal parent would have qualities such as being very caring, nice towards others, doesnt judge people by what they look, Lenient and easy going to a cirtain degree and understanding.
A parent should never say “you have no parent” or “Think that you dont have a parent” or “i have no child” anything to do along those lines
A parent should also never abandon their child no matter what.
sorry miss i should have put both questions together.
My responsabilities are just doing random things around the house whether it be dishes, cleaning etc.
August 15, 2008 @ 11:42 amThe personal qualaties a teenager should posses i think should be kindness, happyness, a love for life,
A good teenager should never smoke, take drugs or drink
(they can drink once over 18) and…. yeah =D
q2 a good teenager should never do crazy stuff like smoke drink wag school be mean or rude to there parents like some kid walk all over there parents teens can have fun but i dont think you need to do lame stuff to do that a good teenager should never piss off there parents becase parents are the ones hwo made them teenagers should have the will to do thing the will to lern my regard are be responsible to outhers and your self lern how to take care of yourself i cant think of anything else

August 15, 2008 @ 11:50 amMy responsiblities are just to do some random things in the house and around it put away the dishes from that machine that washes them and dryes just need to put them away, clean my room, and clean the mess i make in the computer room
Parents have a lot of responsebilities. They need to teach their children the rights and not let their children get out of control. Most children should aspect that they can get support anytime from their parents, or parents should help their children out.
Parent should always provide food, water, and the living for their children on time and always.
A good parent should never let their children take advantage of sometihng and also always keep track on their children that where, what, why, who & when is happening.
My part of responsebilities is very important. My job is to learn all the teachings & respects. my roll in the house is to everything organised. Help my 2 sisters with their homework. Do most of the shopping for the meals in the house. do the dishes and the house cleaning, vacuming, mopping and etc.
August 15, 2008 @ 11:53 amTo be a good teenager is to be kind,respectful and to live well. Also do not go on with drugs, smoking, drinking and fraud works.
question 2
August 18, 2008 @ 9:19 amI guess my responsibilitys are to study, do good in school, love my family, learn to respect others in the community and family and do what im told like chores, help my younger brother, help my mum and etc.
i think an ideal teenager should be respectful, know what is wrong and what is right, think before they act, responisble and extrmely intelligent.
a good teenager should never abandon family or disrespect family.
Q1.
