Adolescence is a very intriguing part of a person’s life. This is where one starts to inhibit the traits of being violent or emotionally unstable. Parents should carefully bring up their children during this time. A recent study shows that “Mattering” really does matter to teenagers. That when a teenager feels important or visible in his/her family, he/she would be less engaged in physical violence rather than those who feels insignificant.  Dr. Gregory Elliot, a sociologist at Brown University, said that mattering teenagers would affect their self-esteem. If you show great or less importance to a teenager, this would determine his/.her belief in his/her capabilities and self-awareness. It is very well known that teenagers are emotionally unstable during adolescence, so if you don’t make them feel important, they will become less sociable and hard to interact with.
