| Dear Dr Jackson, My parents are never happy with me. They are always criticizing (批评) my clothes, my hair and the music I listen to. I'm not allowed to stay out as late as my friends do, so I can’t have any fun. My parents only seem to care about my school marks. Although I love them, sometimes I feel we live in different worlds. If they love me, can’t they understand me? How can I make them understand me? Angel |
| Dear Angel, Your problem is common to both teenagers and parents. Don’t worry, because it is natural. Your parents have grown up at different times and they have different experiences. So they think some things are strange. For example, the music you like may sound terrible to them. Your parents love you, so they must protect you from anything bad or strange. However, you don’t want to be different from other teenagers, so you feel that your parents restrict you. I think you should talk about this problem with your parents. Try to explain to them and let them know they can believe you. Sooner or later, they’ll find you are a responsible (有责任心的) person and they will give you more space.Dr Jackson |
