Dear Mr Friend,
I am Zhang Ke. I have some problems with my parents,
and I am not sure what to do.
I feel like my parents make all the decisions in my life and I
do not have any chance to be myself. They choose my clothes for me. When I want to wear something different, they say they know best. I am never allowed to eat food my parents think is unhealthy, even as a treat. If we go to a restaurant, they order for me without asking what I want.
I know I am young, but I think I should be able to make some decisions. Every time I try talking to them about this, they either lose patience or just stick to their own opinions. I know my parents love me, but I think they are too strict with me. I wonder if we understand each other at all! Do you have any advice?

Dear Mr Friend,
My name is Luo Yang. I am under a lot of stress at school!
I feel like I never have enough time to do everything I need to. I
often have to spend more time on my schoolwork than my
classmates, so I have to stay up late to finish it. This means I am
often tired the next day. Sometimes I waste time on my mobile
phone when I still have some schoolwork to do.
I always regret it after, but I just do not know how to control
myself. Moreover, I love playing football, and I often play for
hours with my friends after school. But I do not want my
schoolwork to suffer because of it. I wonder whether I should
cut back on football.
Now I am falling behind in many of my classes. I need to find
a way to fix this situation. I really hope you can offer me some
advice.
Best wishes,
Luo Yang

Activity 23 Sharing.
For example:
One common teenage problem is the conflict between teenagers and parents. Sometimes parents make most decisions for us and hardly listen to our ideas. It makes us feel upset and we may refuse to communicate with them. As a result, the relationship between us becomes worse and it affects our daily mood.
When I meet this problem, I will not get angry right away. Instead, I will choose a proper time to talk patiently with my parents. I will show them I can make good decisions by myself. Besides, I will try to understand their love behind strict rules. Facing parent‑child problems with understanding and patience helps us solve them well.
