What does the cartoon have to say about teenagers and their lives?
1. How does the teenager feel about exam tension?
[He feels confident and secure - coping steadily with exam tension and preparing himself for it. But somehow at the moment when he takes a glimpse at the exam script, it is shown that his brain leaves him; an indication that his preparation is but all for naught.]

2. In what way is there a communication gap between the teenager and his parents?
[In my point of view, the teenager seems to misunderstand his parents' concern towards him and the manner in which he answers them is overly sarcastic; a way of saying, 'Don't ask'. Besides that, there is a possibility that his parents have been asking him the very same question everyday and that he has gotten bored of answering it. Hence, he adds a little spice of sarcasm into it.]

3. What point is the teenager trying to get across to his father in this cartoon?
[The teenager has an impression that his father is rather outdated when it comes to latest technology, and in this case would be the internet. Thus, instead of stating the problem directly in which his dad might face difficulties understanding, he chooses to use a different example to equate to the current situation. In fact, he is trying to let his father know, how obvious it is that the internet connection is down and an immediate solution is required from his dad.]

[In my opinion, the father understands that his son has a motive; when his son tells him a fact, it eventually will lead to something else instead.]
