There's a variety of conflicts I could choose from the play, but Juliet's internal conflict and the choice she has to make between her family and her "true love" Romeo are most intriguing and relate able. "My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain, and Tybalt's dead, that would have slain my husband." (3.2.115) Juliet is leaning more towards Romeo, for she know Tybalt would have killed him, and her love for him is clouding her judgement. Romeo is a murderer now, and Juliet's intense love for him put's her in harms way. Even though Romeo killed Tybalt, Juliet still chooses him over her family because she is in love.
This example of conflict in Romeo and Juliet is very similar to many teenagers' lives, but not so specific. At this age many kids are choosing to spend more time with friends and less with family. Now, we know that we could just stay home and help out our parents instead of going out every night with our friends. But we are gaining more freedom, and able to choose what we do more often, and who we do it with. Just as Juliet is choosing Romeo over her family.
