With Adolescents, Always Ask Nonthreatening Questions First

With adolescents, always ask nonthreatening questions first. An example of a threatening question would be:

A) "I noticed when I asked you about your brother, you clenched your fists and frowned. What's going on with your brother?"
B) "What do you like to do?"
C) "Do you do drugs or smoke cigarettes? Are you sexually active?"
D) "Tell me about your friends. What are they like?"
