Relationships and TeenagersWhat makes Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl so touching is that Anne Frank was no different from a typical teenager. Anne Frank has the common teenage debates with her parents, as well as the thought of being a self-regulating girl hoping to fall in love, just as most teenagers do today. Anne had relationship problems with her mother, with other family members and, of course, with boys. In our society today, teenagers experience the same problems that Anne experienced while she was held captive in the Secret Annex. Throughout the novel, Anne expresses her deep hatred for her mother, Edith Frank. Mrs. Frank is seen as a cold and tactless mother, according to her daughter. Anne accuses her mother of instigating their relationship dynamic. Anne thinks there is nothing maternal about her and often wishes she had a warm, loving mother to turn to. It is said that ALL teenagers go through a rebellious era in their lives against their parents. Every child wants to be independent and exercise the power they hold. Sometimes, when people have difficulties with school or relationships with other people, teenagers take their anger out on their parents. Anne wanted to break away from her parents' control over every decision and step in her life. She realizes that her mother is not a good mother and that teenagers today think that parents don't understand the world they live in. Furthermore, teenagers rebel against their parents by being brazen and disobeying them to prove that they can create it themselves. choices/decisions, just like Anne Frank, who wrote in a feisty tone and didn't respect her mother. Anne Frank and other teenagers often rebel against their parents because they feel they should be…center of paper…, that it becomes a “no matter what” situation. This can be problematic because, in their desperation, they may choose a boyfriend or girlfriend who may not be in their best interests, or they may not take into account that being in a relationship requires hard work and some sacrifice. Even though teenage romantic relationships are difficult, they are a necessary part of growing up in our society, as is the process of ending a relationship as a teenager. Overall, we can conclude that teenage relationships in our society today are very similar to those of Anne Frank. in the Secret Annex. Anne was a normal teenager who had parenting problems with her mother, frustration problems with Mr. Dussel and Mrs. Van Daan, and love problems with Peter. Teens go through the same journeys as Anne Frank, because ALL teens find reasons to rebel, hate, and love with other people.
