A teenager called Laura writes to you about her problem with her parents and asks you for advice. Read the part of her letter below.
Everyone says that youth is a time for adventure, but my parents disagree. I spend most of my spare time at home, because they hardly ever let me go out with my friends. When I do go out, they always ask, “Where are you going?” “Who are you going with?” “What are you going to do?” “When will you be back?” They’re always on my back about something.
I understand that they’re trying to protect me from getting hurt. However, just as a baby kangaroo must learn to protect itself when it leaves its mother’s pocket, I will have to learn to protect myself when I grow up. I wish they could be more flexible so that I can make my own choices about what to do in my spare time.
---Laura
