What a parent can do is have the sex talk with thier children before they engage. It is always better to talk to them and tell them the whole truth rather then go around the bush with the converstaion. When I was in the seventh grade my mother gave me the sex talk and she showed me how to use a condom by demesstraitng on a bottle of coke. This was effective because when I did have sexual intercourse I knew how to be prepared and use the tools the right way. Going around school drugs were a major problem during high school. As a teenager I was interested in knowing what the drugs were and what effects they ould have on my body but, my mother being the good mother she was warned me about all the negative problems that they could do.

In Debra Kent’s, “Stop Fighting With Your Teen”, Joanne Stern Ph.D. emphasizes, “Conflict is part of life, and our kids need to know how to handle it with their friends, employers, and partners, and their own kids someday," (Stern).Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is going to do everything perfectly every time.

Bad Parents Raise Bad Children W.E.B. Du Bois said that “children learn more from what you are than what you teach”. Society always takes pride solely in the way a child has been raised by its parents. Children do not misbehave because they feel like misbehaving, but because something vital is missing in that child’s nurturing. Many parents allow their young to deviate from what is morally right or equal and their authority and choose violence over all odds as a solution for anger. Firstly, the consequence of ill nurturing can be the outcome of long-term mental health issues because of the child being prone to violence, anger, and stress.
