Family
During
both good and bad times, your family can be your greatest source of strength
and support. It is also normal to have times when you don't get along
with members of your family, or times when your parents disagree. If you talk
openly with your family about the things that bother you, this will help them
better know how you feel and what they can do to help you. And if you are upset
because you think your parents are too overprotective, try to remember that
they love you and are just worried about you. They are also trying to find ways
to deal with their feelings.
It is important to remember that you and your parents are a team. Make sure you tell them how you are feeling and if you have any questions for the doctor. Together, you can get the answers you need.
