disciplinary methods allows teens to grow apart
from their families easier.

Methodology

• - At first we did not know what questions to ask
  so we started off with easy ones like how old
  are you? and what is your gender?
• - We did not have a single problem they just
  miraculously came to us as we were writing the
  survey. HA
• - We didnt really choose specific classes to
  survey. We thought that it would be better to
  survey upperclassmen because they would be more
  mature than underclassmen.
• - I only got one question about the survey and
  that was from a girl that wanted to know if her
  brother has a game system than it would count as
  her owning one herself. Another time someone over
  analyzed the survey and pointed out that we
  should have put 1-2 hours instead of 1 hours
  because 1 hours could mean anything more than 1
  hour.
• - We have input from more juniors and seniors
  than underclassmen, so it will give less of an
  age range on the answers to the survey questions.
  We also interviewed 2 AP classes as well so we
  only had a single nonsense survey.
• - Economic achievement doesnt really change how
  much kids talk to their parents, they can be
  smart and still not talk to them anymore than
  kids that dont get good grades.
