Ms Grace O'Malley made a comment that teenagers do not listen to their parents. However, teenagers do look at them and parents can set a good example. I acknowledge that when children are aged between 13 and 21 or whatever, they go through a stage of rebellion. However, if one looks at them in later years, they will have carbon-copied what their parents have done. Consequently, it is extremely important that the parents help in this regard.
