title: At the family level.
abstract: Most parents today are frightened by the idea that youth is hostile and powerful. In order to cope with their fear they become too permissive; they do not offer their children any guidelines and therefore give the impression of abandoning them. Parent education in the problems of adolescence (physical and mental) is a prerequisite for good "parenting", as is a sense of humour and a solid opinion of one's own, regardless of its popularity.
