parents

Drop everything you're doing and hear this: Your parents absolutely have a favorite child. Yes, your mom did tell you she loves all of you just the same. No, she didn't lie exactly, but she may have preferred your sibling over you, at times. And guess what? Experts say that's absolutely OK.
A new survey finds that only a minority of parents of teens allow the child to have private interaction with a doctor. This is a mistake in most cases, as privacy between a teen and his/her doctor will promote the free flow of information necessary for proper healthcare and advice.
