When my teen comes to me with the news I will handle the situation in a calm manner . First I will listen to her carefully without interrupting her and understand what he or aseh wants to convey . This will give the confidence to teen to take out as many things he or she wants and establish a bond between us . This removes the hesitation which occur in many parent teen relationships . Then I will explain him or her about the first love , sexual orientation , sex and diseases . This can be done by ordigin the teen with real life examples from my own life or from others life .I will also understand his or her viewpoint about these things and will try to come to a mutual agreement . Because in a globalized scenario teens perceive the world from a different perspective whereas as an adult we have a different perspective . I will also explplaing the conequences of sex which is done without protection .Finally I tell the teen whi i consdier the specifc indivual is not godd for him or her . Also at this point I will listen to teens' explanations of those individuals and will try to understand the context behind it . The loving relationship can be only maintained and build by understanding and coming to mutual agreements . Forcing things on teens and disagreeing completely doesn't work in these kinds of circumstances .
