Teenage is equated to turmoil, an unpredictable phase. Alternating between ferociousness and brooding silence, teenagers shun parental communication and closeness. They enjoy only friends' company, hang out at their places and sink into their private world. However, psychological studies indicate that parents should try to establish closeness and to forge a strong relationship with their children during this period. They should share their wealth and their physical presence is even more important at this stage. Ilamaangal, a remake of the Malayalam hit film Notebook, deals with a serious teenage issue.
