“Connie's best friend's father took the girls three miles to town and dropped them off at a mall so they could wander the shops or go to the cinema, and when he came back to collect them at eleven he never bothered to ask what they had done. Because she would never ask where they went or went, Connie and her friends felt like they had the freedom to do almost anything, like go "shopping or see a movie, but sometimes they would cross the highway, ducking quickly across the busy street, to a drive-in restaurant where the older kids hung out can also be seen as one of the reasons she felt that way most of the time and when he came home he wanted to have dinner and during dinner he read the newspaper and after dinner he took the trouble to talk to them a lot.” Connie's father's lack of communication and attitude shows the lack of interest he has in improving his life and what kind of father he really is. To prevent such feelings and actions, a parent can communicate with their teenager about what he feels is important in his life, such as sports, school. or social events..
