Instead, it is making me so nervous. I need you to help me but not hurt me. I understand you want me to have an easier life than you had. But I also need to have more time to relax and be a child.” After you communicate your feelings to your parents, maybe they can understand you. If you have any problems, you’re welcome to Mr. White’s counseling (咨询) room. We can talk face to face. I am there every Friday. 51.
