5.The signs for harmony(融洽)may not be clear in some families.But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents,which is the far different of the popularly-held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family fights.An important new study into teenage attitude surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has even been in the past."We were surprised by just how happy today's young people seem to be about their families,"said one member of the research team."They're expected to be rebellious(叛逆的)but in fact they have other things on their minds,for example,they want a car and they may worry about whether school is serving them well.There's more discussion between parents and children,and children expect to take part in the family decision.They don't want to rock the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30years ago to treat their children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,"says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall."I'll always tell them when I'm going out clubbing.As long as they know what I'm doing,there are fine with it."Susan Crome,who is now 21,agrees."Looking back on the last 10years,there was a lot of what you could call discussion.For example,as long as I'd done all my homework,I could go out on a Saturday night.But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected.It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts.A researcher says,"Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a short period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings.But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."
