(Relaxnews) If you’re a parent of a teenager, researchers say that the best parenting advice is to talk, not yell.

A new study released Wednesday finds that 13-year-old adolescents whose parents shouted at them suffered more symptoms of depression than their peers whose parents didn’t. The study involved nearly 1,000 two-parent families living in the US and is published online in the journal Child Development.
