Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.

Most parents always think that they have offered(给予) the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children. In return, they only want their little boys or girls to give them good results in the exams.

But why can their little babies still not understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material(物质的) things? No. As a matter of fact(事实上), what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.

So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no boy will be regarded as(被看作) a little boy.

These days, many teenagers watch thousands of hours’ programs on TV or short videos on smart phones. However, some studies show these teenagers don’t have any media literacy（媒体素养）they need. It’s hard for them to think about the information they see.

One study showed more than 80 percent of the middle school students didn’t know which they watched were real stories or ads looked like news. Also, the apps like Tik Tok, or Snapchat on smart phones only send teenagers the similar short videos according to their interest. So teenagers have few chances to get something new or different. This makes it harder for them to agree with others’ new or different ideas.

Stanford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects（效应）. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor thinks some news stations only partly tell the truth. He also thinks the short video makers do worse. He gave an example. From Picture 1, people may think the mother lion is eating her kid, but from Picture 2, people can see that she just wants to take her sleepy kid away. So he thinks students should avoid（避免）one- side story.

“With a news story, news stations tell you what they think are the important, but in short videos, the video makers just want to catch your eyes to get more likes.” said John, “If a person has media literacy, he or she will know each story is not only about one side at this time.”

But how can teenagers have media literacy? Some experts think the school is the best place to teach it. Others believe everyone should help teenagers learn the skill.

Many experts advise the best time to start learning the skill is at the age of 12. But little kids should learn some basic（基本的）ideas even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy.” John said.
