Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

             Independence for young people is about trying new things, taking on more responsibility, making decisions by themselves, and working out who they are and what they want to be. Achieving independence is an essential part of the journey to adulthood.

As part of setting up healthy boundaries with your teenager, it is important for you to respect their privacy. As your teenager grows older and maturer, they need more privacy to figure out the person they want to be. Teenagers are prone to make quick decisions without thinking about the consequences. It is still important to monitor your teenager to help guide them and support them. If you are concerned about their online or offline activities, try to have a conversation with them. You can discuss your concerns with them and the potential risks of these activities.

You should also support your teenager's decisions. Supporting your teenager's choices fosters their independence and bolsters their confidence in decision-making. Everyday choices, like selecting clothes, can enhance their self-assurance. This approach encourages your child to accept the responsibility for their choices and learn from their mistakes. You do not always have to support your teenager's decision if they may be putting themselves or others at risk.

Moreover, some issues may appear trivial to you, yet they are pivotal to your teenager. Social media disputes or friendship conflicts can significantly affect them. They can be overwhelming for them and challenge their ideas of who they are and who is in charge. Listen to your teenager. If they ask for advice, give them advice. You can encourage them to look at different solutions and discuss them with you. However, sometimes they may just want to talk about their experiences with you, but do not want any advice.
