winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries:
Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because
neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it .From the parents' point of view, the only cause
of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly
the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents
and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.
Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of
clothing ,the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on
the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad
attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn' t matter whether
the topic is politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg ;the point of these arguments
is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong for both wish to be considered an
authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as
long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight
these battles forever and never make any real progress.
B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner.
D. Neither can be put to an end.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens cause their parents of misleading them.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from the other
D. get the other to behave properly
B. Examples of the parent-teen war
C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.

| When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs. One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them. That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search. If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits. Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job of your choice. Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low. What to avoid during your job search | ||||||||
