article: http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/teenagers-embarrassed-parents-2792.html
I chose this article because it relates to a specific part of my isu novel, but isn't a main issue. When the author described how Jeannette was hiding her parents from everyone as she got older, it was an obvious hint of embarrassment. Being embarrassed is an extremely common thing for mostly teens as the grow up but Jeannette obviously wasn't embarrassed by her parent's for a minor humiliating action. It was the fact that her parent's had still not made enough money for a home, and her father's glass castle idea had still not gone into effect. This article discusses why in modern day society, children are embarrassed of their parent's and some of it's factors are related to my book such as:
their parent's background, how they dress, what things they own and can afford, etc.
