Teens, Parents, Have Your Say

A parent and a teenager have something in common: Each thinks the other doesn’t listen.

At a public forum for Spokane area teens last month, several youths talked about the need for better communications between them and their parents. The Spokesman-Review would like to know more about where the breakdown occurs.

If you’re a teenager, what do you want to tell your parents, or ask them, but feel you can’t? If you’re a parent, what would you like to ask or tell your teen? We’ll collect the thoughts you share and publish them.
