Fla. Half of teens agree. Families aren't communicating enough. Asked how often they have a conversation that lasts longer than 15 minutes with a parent, only a third say daily. Another 17 percent say they do so only a few times a month. And one-third say adults generally don't value their opinion.
Teens show a healthy self-respect.
Slightly more than 6 in 10 say they are smart, self-confident or creative. The qualities they picked for being admirable were very human qualities. Identity crises aren't limited to girls. The survey results confirm findings that problems typically associated with girls are now becoming more visible in boys. Teen respondents across the board, and minority teens slightly more so, believe good looks matter when it comes to personal achievement, specifically making friends, winning the respect of others, and succeeding in life.
