“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Beijing. Do you have the same problem? Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else or go back home late so that your parents don’t call everybody to look for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility for what you did.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help from you. Some day, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.
