Do parents understand what their teens are experiencing?

and then think about what Alice says in her diary on September 7:
"I wanted more than anything in the world to know that they understood, but naturally they just kept on talking and talking because they are incapable of really understanding anything. If only parents would listen! If only tey would let us talk instead of forever and eternally and continuously harping and preaching and nagging and correcting and yacking, yacking, yacking! But they won't listen! They simply won't or can't or don't want to listen, and we kids keep winding up back in the frustrating, lost, lonely corner with no one to relate to either verbally or physcially."
How are her parents part of what she is going through at this point in her life? Are they to blame for Alice´s actions or is Alice blaming them so that she does not have to take responsibility herself?
