We asked three teens from Miami to talk about their families.

TEEN LIFE TODAY: Are you happy with your family? Martim?

Martim: For me it’s great to have my brother and sister to play with. But I sometimes need private time!

Sandra: I don’t have brothers or sisters, but my mom is always there for me. That’s great.

Sandra: Sometimes, but not usually. I have two friends in my street. I see them every day.

And I sometimes visit my cousins on the weekend.

Martim: What about you, Laura? Do you like your family?

Laura: Of course. My brother and sister are the best! But my sister and I fight sometimes.

Sandra: I don’t have a brother or sister to fight with! Martim, do you like to have your grandparents with you?
