Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my opinion on the question: “Do you think your parents really understand you?” As a teenager, I think I am lucky to have parents, who understand me; however, a lot of parents do not understand their children very much.
First of all, I think many parents do not like their children to stay out late with friends. I know they do so because they care and worry about their children. While teenagers like to stay out late with friends, especially in the festivals, like Christmas. So I suggest they should have a compromise. The parents can give a mobile phone to the teenagers so as to call them at any time. The teenagers should tell their parents when they will go, whom they will go with, where they will go to, and when they will back home. I think the teenagers should keep their promise, in particular, when they will come back, or the parents may not let them stay out late again.
Moreover, I think a lot of parents like to know what their children spend money on and give advice to them. But many adolescents do not like their parents always asking how they spend money. One of the reasons is that the young people think that they are “young adults” thus they can decide how to spend money. I think parents should give some advice to them, like they should buy the “non neccessary things”, such as accessories, clothes and dolls less, and save some money. I do not think the parents will not allow or have argument with them if they buy the “must-have items”, like stationary or reference books. Therefore, adolescents should be self-descipline.
Furthermore, a lot of us like spend a long time on the computer nowadays while parents do not like. Many of us spend a lot of time on the computers to play computer games, and some of us use the computer to search things or do homework. Therefore, I think parents should ask their children why they always stick on with the computer. If they play computer games, parents should suggest them to play less, since it may damage teenagers’ health. If they use the computer to search things, parents should support them and give them some advice on how to plan a better time table.
To conclude, many parents do not understand their children much. It is because of the lack of communication, and some of the adolescents do not let their parents to have an opportunity to understand them. Therefore, communication is very important.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
C.Wong
