The BBC's massive Talking Teen survey has revealed some interesting results. We took them along to a local school and talked them through with four pupils. Here are the questions we asked Sam Wilson and Jenny Hook: 1. Under Pressure: Our survey showed that one third of parents were worried their teenager would become depressed. Are you surprised by that and what are the biggest things you worry about? 2. Money: Almost half of the teenagers surveyed said that the best thing about their parents was the amount of money they gave them. Are you surprised by that and do you think your parents give you enough money? Do you worry about money? 3. Best/worst things about your parents: Love and humour were parents' top qualities according to teenagers today, but their money was almost as highly rated. What are the best and worst things about your parents? How do you feel about your parents' dress sense? Joe Briggs and Noreen Aslam were asked these questions: 1. Sex: Teens still find talking about sex with their parents difficult as only a fifth of teenagers, felt able to talk their parents about it. For the majority, 59%, sex was a subject they felt more comfortable talking to their friends, not their parents, about. We asked: Who do you discuss sex with? 2. Society: The survey showed that teenagers today feel undervalued by society, as only 13% agreed that society values them. Over half of teenagers, 54%, also felt that they get a bad press. We asked: How do you think teenagers are seen by society and the media? 3. Appearance: Interestingly teens were as equally worried about their appearance as they were about their school work/exams (49% and 48% respectively). We asked: Do you and your friends worry about your appearance? 4. Religion: The results showed 6 out of 10 teenagers felt able to talk about faith/religion with their parents. We asked: Do you talk to your parents about religion? Get the full results on the
