Zusammenfassung

Viele Eltern grübeln ähnlich darüber nach, wie ihre einst musterhaften Kinder zu gedankenlosen, verantwortungslosen, selbstsüchtigen, unhöflichen, schlecht gelaunten Wesen mutieren konnten, nur weil sie in die Pubertät kamen. Nicht nur Eltern wundern sich über den Verhaltenswandel ihres Nachwuchses; auch die Heranwachsenden selbst sind oft verblüfft und rätseln, was in sie gefahren sein mag. Eine 14-Jährige klagte:

Manchmal geht es einfach mit mir durch. […] All dieser Krempel mit Freund und Schule und wie ich aussehe und obendrein meine Eltern. Da gehe ich einfach in mein Zimmer und mache die Tür zu. […] Gemein will ich eigentlich gar nicht sein, aber manchmal muss ich einfach weg von alledem und mich beruhigen, indem ich für mich bin (Strauch 2003).
