A survey of over 12,000 adolescents found that the more teens feel loved by their parents, the less likely they are to behave in unhealthy ways - having early sex, smoking, abusing alcohol and drugs, and exhibiting violence. What are three possible ways we could interpret that finding?

Sagot :

The three possible ways we could attempt an interpretation of the finding are listed below.

1. Society as a whole has failed its adolescents by not ensuring that they are brought up in healthy homes.

2. Parents have not created healthy homes for their children.  Childbearing comes with a set of responsibilities on those who engage in the activity.

3. It is imperative to ensure that adolescents receive adequate love and understanding in healthy homes so that they may behave healthily.
