This may or may not be something that every teen wants or even needs to do, but it is something that every teen should learn nonetheless. How to impress your parents: it's not as hard as it may seem. Parents want to see you succeed in life and they want you to be happy with yourself and with friends and maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend. If you've done something wrong or to upset them, you might want to try to tip the scale back and make them even more proud of you for a few short moments at least. Read on to find out more about how to impress your parents, or make them less mad at you at the very least.
The first thing you should do to impress your parents is find out what is important to them. Maybe they are very busy people and they don't have time to cook when they get home from work, so for you to go out of your way to cook a meal for them would really impress and honor them. If you're not sure how to go about making them a nice meal, there are plenty of web sites on the internet with some nice romantic or just plain delicious recipes on them. Or if your parents love spending time together you could consider saving your allowance up to buy them an evening out or maybe a hotel room. It all depends on your budget of course.
On the other hand, if you can't quite figure out what your parents would really appreciate, then you might want to do something that makes all parents happy and proud: do well in school. It might seem kind of cliche or even stupid, but if you apply yourself in school and get good grades your parents will be very proud of you and very happy for you. This will in turn give them a pat on the back, for raising such a great teenager and making sure that they will succeed in life. But if you do get your school grades up, try to keep them up. A sudden spike in your grades is great, but if they drop back down after awhile your parents will wonder what happened and they will be on your case to find out.
If your school grades are already high, then why not make something special for your parents. It can be a simple"I love you mom" and "I love you dad" card. Or it could be a hand made card that has a few "credits" for you to do house work for them. For example you could decide to give your parents 10 hours of your time, for them to choose how to use it. They might make you mow the lawn 10 times, or they might make you spend time with them more often. Another thing that parents like is to spend time with you, after all you are they child and they do want to get to know you better.
So just get closer to your parents and enjoy their company. You can learn a lot about their lives and they will have great advice to give you too! Find more great teen advice.
