Teens and preteens voted for their "top 3" issues with their parents, choosing from a list of 28 possible issues. (See the Poll.) The bar graph above shows which eight issues were the top "vote-getters" in this poll.

Last quarter's results showed "academics" and "parents don't respect me--treat me like a child" as the two issues getting the most votes from the total sample of participants. "My attitude" and "parents worry about me too much" came in third and fourth.

This time around, "parents worry about me too much" was #1 overall and #1 with teens. The graph shows that "they want me to be with the family more than I want to be right now" is the #1 issue for the preteens who responded to this poll. Preteens' second most popular issue was "my dress/appearance," with "parents worry about me too much" coming in third and "chores" fourth.

Q: Why are all the percentages of the total vote so low? A: Because there were so many issues to choose from (28 in all), and each respondent got to pick 3 instead of only 1.
