It is a well-known fact that the period of adolescence brings about a great number of changes, not only for adolescents, but also their parents. Adolescents have to go through several stages of puberty, i. e., adolescence, and each of them comes with different changes that occur to adolescents; physical, motor, hormonal and sexual changes, emotional and social changes. All of these can affect adolescents' confidence, concept of self, and even their health and the amount of stress they endure on a daily basis. Adolescents' peers have a greater role than during the period of childhood, as their influence grows stronger. On the other hand, the role of parents does not have the same significance as during childhood. The goal of this paper was to examine parents’ views and experience on raising adolescents with regard to adaptation to the peculiarities that occur during this period. The results have shown that there is no significant difference in difficulty of raising a child or raising an adolescent; there are only differences regarding the child’s or adolescent’s needs that need to be met. Some changes that occur during the period of adolescence can make certain situations more difficult, in the context of raising an adolescent and parent-adolescent relationships, but the results of this paper have not implicated that raising an adolescent is much more difficult than raising a child. Every child, or every adolescent, is an individual person, and should be shaped and guided as such in order for them to grow into their own personalities as adult human beings.
