What does it mean to be a teen? The meaning of adolescence is "the time between" - it is the time between being a child and an adult.
Adolescence is a recent invention. Earlier in history, you would be a child or a man - there was never an interim period between the two.
In our relationships with our parents in our young adult years, it is lessens in authority and subordination, and increases in friendship. More independence is desired, but we must remember that independence comes by trust - we must prove ourselves worthy to gain more independence.
