report dating regularly (casual dates with one or more partners at different times) whereas a third claim to

VI. Read the passage about the effects of teenage relationships, and then answer the questions.
Different relationships affect teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the same
amount as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they could not ask
their parents about. Most of the time their friends give them good advice. In most cases they tell their
friends how to dress and act when being around certain people.
Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to
fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of doing their work.
Parents have a big influence on teenagers because their children look up to them and the majority
of them grow up to act and do things just like their parents did with them. Children who have experienced
a family break-up may have lower achievements than children brought up in an intact family.
As previously stated, teenagers are affected by many relationships which involve their friends,
family, and their love relationships. The relationships affect them so much that most teenagers change
2
their ideas about how they should live their lives in a different way and to change their future goals. They
should be influenced to help themselves or to help others.
