I'm doing a project for my developmental psych class. It has to do with adolescent relationships. I'd like it if I got responses from teens, but if you are older and can remember back that far, feel free.

The question is: Your relationship with who do you find most important?

I'm not looking for specific names, rather answers like: mom, dad, siblings, guys(same sex, opposite sex), girls(same sex, opposite sex), bf, gf, teacher, grandpa, grandma, etc....

Boyfriend in HS. He was a creep towards the end, but he forced me to discover who I really am.

In my early teenage years 13-16, it was my friends (guys and girls).
From 16-18 i found my relationship with my parents to be more important.

okay, okay......my dad and grandpa because i work with them on the farm everyday and they are like who i want to be.

i won't be a teen for much longer

My parents my whole life, and probably my girl for the last couple years

Probably the relationship with my parents, although at times I just plain don't give a damn about either of them.

How about myself? I mean its a really important relationship, and one that has to be going well for everything else to work out.
Early teen years I would say my friends seemed like the most important, but my parents really are. As I grew older (I'm 18, so I'm still in my teen years), I've realized how very important my parents and brother are to me. Friends still are very important but I've realized the meaning of "blood is thicker than water".

My friends helped me realize the rebel within and then when my parents got through grounding me I realized that they were the most important people to me on Earth. They still are.

Wow, this is really great stuff. Thanks so much for the input. Keep it comming. I can use all that I get

I would say my parents. I'm a pretty independent person, so I don't always relate with my friends and such, but I relate well with my parents.
