This site gives lots of information about adults getting divorced. They have information on various types of books you can read. It talks about how to communicate with your children and help them understand what the divorce is all about. There are a lot of different points that talk about keeping your child from getting in the middle of the divorce. If gives places that the children can go if they cannot turn to their family or when they have a lot of stress. There are very few links that you can go to get help. There were no activities included in the web page. I think this was a good site that kids could learn about.

The first sub-title, Family Roles, is what family roles are and why they are so important in a family.

This is very good for teacher because it has lessons to teach the students. The first lesson is about how middle age students (teens) are changing and how their family should get used to the change. Thee second lesson is about how the teens have emotional changes and how their family must cope with it. The third lesson is about communicating with other members in family is important.

Parents and teens: Relationships under pressure
The site I researched is called Parents and teens: Relationships under pressure. It is an interesting site with information about stress and stress worries.
This site talks about how stressed and pressured teens are at around 17. Some reasons why they feel stressed out and pressured are because they are being expected to know what they want to do with the rest of their life and because of over protective parents. The first sub-title is called stress generation and there is also another one called stress worries.
The words Parents and teens are written in black. There are a number of things written in red such as: Relationships under pressure, the sub-titles are written in red, the first three words of information are red, and so is p.3. There is also a man talking on his cell phone and looking at his watch. The links are highlighted with blue.
There are three links on this site. One is called Next Page of Article. Another one is called April Contents, and finally there is one called Living Today.

The site I researched is called “Expectations.” It is a very interesting site and has a lot of useful information about what parents expect from their children.
On this site it talks about how all parents expect honesty from their children. They want their children to volunteer for activities and other things. One expectation that parents had was that teenagers spend time at home with them. Another expectation is that teens not neglect their academic responsibilities.
The title “Expectation” is printed in purple, and so is the first letter of the information. The rest of the words are black and the background is green.
There are two links on this site. One is called Youth Problems and Their Way of Living. The other link is called VC 63.

They are: respect, anger, stress, managing time, values, responsibilities, school, gangs, drugs, teen years, discipline, diversity, and learning.
