Last week, in a cafe at Paddington station, I asked if I could share a table with a woman who was reading a newspaper. As she dropped the paper, we recognised each other: we'd once worked on a training project in the Nineties for teenage mums who wanted to catch up with their GCSEs. I had taught these girls English, Sally taught maths.
Two decades evaporated as we began to chat. By anyone's standards, Sally's life has been a success. At 52, she's a respected lecturer, happily married, with two healthy, grown children and a beautiful home.
'And what's Sam up to?' I asked after her son. Suddenly, her face was flooded with grief and tears fell. Embarrassed, she tried, in vain, to wipe them away.
But the reason for her outburst wasn't the death of her first-born, but what felt to her like the death of her relationship with him.
At 23, he's an unpaid graduate intern at an internet start-up company. Like many other job-seeking graduates, he is still living with his parents. Initially they, and his 18-year old sister, were delighted to have him back when he graduated from university. But then his demands started to dominate their lives.
'First he asked for an allowance - £150 a week - which we gave him as he was only paid expenses as an intern,' Sally told me.
'But for the past year, he's become impossible. He wants flash clothes, a new smartphone, money to eat out; and last week he even demanded £1,000 so he could go skiing with some university friends.'
Her husband, a solicitor, was willing to fund the trip, but Sally refused. Sam went crazy, broke furniture in his bedroom, smashed plates and terrified his sister.

The TEENAGE is a totally different unusual phase of life where a teenager experiences a lot of changes both physically and mentally ..behavioral change is one of them...They do certain things which they feel they should not but still at that time even the inner conscience does not work...They feel something inside which probably they do not want to share but keeping that feeling pressed within they get either over-excited or over-depressed ,which leads to lack of concentration in any field of work they do...Sometimes due to some petty reasons they get angry , erratic and always have the tendency to quarrel ....So to overcome this we,the teenagers should regularly converse with our parents or elders...because they are more experienced than we are..here our elders play a very vital role.They often inspire us with different inspirational and motivational topics which if we follow are bound to overcome these unusual situations..
