It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious or too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.

Actually parents also find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget what they were like when young.

For example, young people like to act without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation, while older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unpleasant. When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.

Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment (娱乐) and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. It is natural enough that you want to live a life in your own way, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.

However, you should know that if you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
