| Summary |
The second rebellious period of junior high school is said to be a time when parent–child relationships are difficult. However, there are many junior high school students who get along well with their families. What kinds of places are today's junior high school students’ homes? How do they coexist with their parents? Further, when they contemplate their future, what kind of family do they envision? The Benesse Center for Future Education conducted a survey to examine junior high school students' awareness of and involvement with their families, particularly their parents. The data revealed a picture of comfortable families, with junior high school students caught between dependence on their parents and independence. |
