Don ’ t you think people get their personalities from their parents ?

No , but parents control a lot of the environment that kids grow up in , so they certainly influence their kids ' personalities a lot .

So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different from their parents .
neutral

Maybe when they become teenagers , they want to be completely different to their parents .

You might be right . I guess most parents want their kids to be like them , but kids today grow up in a different environment . You know , they know much more about the world from the internet , newspapers , and tv .

Do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behaviour from tv and movies ?
neutral
assistant
Maybe some of it . I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren ’ t bringing their child up correctly .

Parents have a difficult job . They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too .

Yes , that ’ s true . Your son is doing well at school , isn ’ t he ?
neutral
user
Yes , he is . He ’ s very hardworking when he ’ s at school . Then he comes home from school and does homework before dinner . After dinner , he goes out with his friends .
