           Teenagers around the United States are trying to figure out who they are. At the same time, teenagers are respecting their parents culture and values.  It is hard to follow parents culture and values due to teens are growing up and are growing their own opinions from life around.

          Ways I respect my parents' values are by following their rules, listen to what they have to say, and trying to stay away from trouble. At the end of the day all an individual has to depend on is family because family will always be there for you. Individuals feel a closeness when they are with family.

        Ways I try to find my own identity are by staying with my word, listening to artist with similar interest, and by doing what I feel is right. By doing all three I feel that I am finding myself and connecting more with myself. It is very important to do what feels right.

       Teenager have to listen and respect their parents, but at the same time they have to find out who they really are, even if it involves doing uncomfortable things around strangers. Find yourself is one important thing everyone must do in their lifetime.  Being yourself is a key thing to a happy life.
