Why are parents so clueless? Let's face it — parents don't get it. Or at least that's what many teenaged children think. Most teens think their parents don't know anything about life — especially not teen life. As a result, they stay quiet, ignore their parents’ advice, or argue and yell. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

If you've ever yelled at your parents, walked out on them, or said, "My parents are so stupid!" then you've come to the right place. Believe it or not, parents aren't perfect. They get tired, they get grumpy, and sometimes they dress funny. But they care about you! As a teen, you face a lot of issues that are embarrassing or difficult to talk about — especially with your parents. Check out how you can stop the nagging, deal with overprotective parents, rebuild trust after you've screwed up, and even get them to say yes! It can be done. Learn how to get your parents to "get" you. If you want to change things at home, then don't miss this book! Stupid Parents helps you understand how to communicate with your parents to improve your relationships. So even if you can't have the ideal family, Stupid Parents will make your family life better. It answers common questions you have, like how do I get my parents to be less embarrassing? How do I get them to give me more freedom? How do I tell my parents about things that are important to me? What do I do if my parents are mean to me? What are my parents thinking?

Teens, parents, and youth leaders will find Stupid Parents entertaining, educational, and utterly relevant.
