I don’t think it’s fair

Advanced reasoning skills can lead many adolescents to become more interested in issues of fairness or justice and they are quick to point out inconsistencies between adults' words and actions.

For example, they may become preoccupied with issues of fairness between your treatment of them compared to their siblings. However, they are less likely to be able to see the nuances or shades of grey of an issue and tend to view things in black and white. This can lead to conflict with parents.
