Teens and preteens voted for the top 3 issues they experience with their parents, from a field of 26. (See the Poll) There were many more teen participants (n=92) than preteen (n=11), so the teen votes follow the general curve for the entire sample. But you can see that on "p-respect," "worry," and "sch.fail," the preteen votes are much higher, proportionally, than those of the teen votes on these issues. (Abbreviations explained)
