     "I don't like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that, sometimes makes
  me angry," said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem?
 Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that
 some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?
     One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying thing. They worry
  about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you though something would
  make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of
 friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of
  your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
     So how can you make things easier on yourself? It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents
  know that you're doing, Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your
 parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you
 make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them.
 They may talk about theirs with you.
     Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents
  and need help you can give them. Some day, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you
 how to get on with your children.
