Giving advice on parent-child relationships
As we step into senior high school, we grow older and have more ideas of our own. But sometimes, we find it hard to get along well with our parents. Many of us have troubles with our parents as we grow up

Actually, many teenagers have the same problems. Three of them wrote to a radio programme called Teen Time to ask for help. Let’s read their letters and see what troubles them exactly.

Rebecca’s problem She _______ hard as her _______ wishes, but her mother pays too much _______ to her ______.
My mum keeps a notebook of my grades in every exam. She asks my teachers how I’m doing at school whenever she can. It seems as if my grades are the most important thing in her life. When we’re at home, she keeps pressing me to study all the time. I do as she says, but she is
never happy with my grades. Why can’t she leave me
alone? I want to take a break once in a while. I want
to listen to music or go out with my friends. Is that too
much to ask for?

I’m eager for my parents’ love. They’re always busy at work. I hardly ever see them during the week because they don’t get home until late at night. I tell them that I’m stressed about schoolwork, but neither of them show any concern. Sometimes I feel quite lonely at home. When was the last time we had a family outing at the weekend? When was the last time we had a long talk? How can parents not care
about their children?
—Simon

Laura’s problem She desires ________, but her parents ______ her too much.
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

Dear Laura,
I understand your feelings. Sometimes parents can become overprotective — after all, it is their job to protect their child from harm. But don’t be unhappy.
Try these pieces of advice and see if they help. First, tell your parents what you think about their protective behaviour.
Tell them you fully understand their love for you, but explain the side effects of their overprotectiveness. They may change their mind after they learn about your feelings. Second, show your parents how responsible you can be. Make it clear when you need their help and when you don’t. For example, tell them that they need not worry about you when you go out with friends during the daytime. But if you want to go out in the evening, assure them that you will be home before, say, 9 o’clock.
I hope you will find my advice helpful. I wish you all the best.
Yours,
Cynthia

How can teenagers deal with parent-child tension
Nowadays, there is more and more disagreement between teenagers and parents. In my opinion, parent-child tension often arises from a lack of understanding and communication. Teenagers may feel misunderstood by their parents, leading to conflicts.
To handle this tension, teenagers should communicate openly with their parents, expressing their feelings calmly and listening actively. It is also important for teenagers to try to understand their parents’ perspectives and show empathy. Additionally, setting aside quality time for family activities can help strengthen the bond and reduce misunderstandings.
I hope that children and parents can get along well with each other.
Homework
How can teenagers deal with parent-child tension
Nowadays, parent-child tensions are common among senior high students. We teens are eager for independent decision-making, while parents, driven by academic anxiety, often overinterfere with our daily life and regard our pursuit of freedom as rebellion. Worse still, ineffective communication deepens the mutual misunderstanding.
To handle the problem properly, we can initiate frank talks at calm moments. Besides, proving our self-discipline through small daily deeds helps earn more trust from parents. Avoiding emotional arguments also counts. With joint efforts, the relationship will surely improve.
I hope that children and parents can get along well with each other through joint efforts and mutual understanding.
