Your  teenage years can be like a bumpy ride.  The cool thing about being a teenager is realizing that how you feel and how you act are two different things.  You can't change the way you feel right away.  But when deciding what to do, you always have choices.

ANGRY

My parents are not my "real" parents, so I don't have to do what they say.

GET SMART

Your birth parents are real, but so are your adoptive parents.  If your birth parents were raising you, you probably would be thinking some of the same things about who is in charge.

CHECK IT OUT

Talk with friends to see if their parents make them follow rules like your parents do.

TALK

Have a meeting with your parents to talk about the rules and how  you may be able to negotiate changes.
