Dear David,
A famous celebrity had said:“when you can realize you parents’ pain, you will be great man.” Most teenagers have quarreled with their parents that they think their parents always limit their behaviors and can’t understand them. It’s a symbol of the “battle” between teenagers and their parents. I have done the same foolish things, too. I think there are several reasons cause this result: first, the teenager is the age which just after childhood. We think everything is magnificent and fabulous in childhood. So we always do something bizarre that may make our parents very surprise. After they noticed that you are not a kid any more, they’ll teach you how to do it. As you said, most of us hate it but our parents think it’s their priority. Second, our method is not still when we are teenager, we sometimes do something really crazy. Third, we think ourselves are not kids so we want to do something to proof our age.
I think the solution of the problem is quite easy, communicate with your parents frequently. Perhaps you are a bit shame, you can choose to send them a letter or a note. Try to explain your emotion, although parents don’t change their opinion at once, some day they may understand you, wish you will be success and have a fantastic summer vacation!
Thank you for your letter, I’m very well, thank you.
Yours truly,
Wang Ying
