It’s a Saturday afternoon, and the family has a big lunch, birthday or family gathering planned. Everyone is expected to be there… except the teenager who suddenly has “plans,” doesn’t feel like going, or would rather stay home.

The parent says, “Absolutely not. You’re coming with us.” The teenager says, “But why must I go somewhere I don’t even want to be?”

At what point do parents stop forcing teenagers to attend every family gathering and start respecting that they’re old enough to have their own social lives and make some of their own choices? Should parents still be forcing teenagers to attend family gatherings they don’t want to attend?
