WHETHER you like it or not, your parents are responsible
(負(fù)責(zé)任的) for you, at least
until you’re out of school. Does it feel like your parents are stressing you out
with their love? Do you often fight with them?
Hu Muqing, 16, of Shenyang,
complains that his parents are only concerned about his grades and not his
other needs. He and his parents fight the most about the time he spends
watching TV and on the Internet. The Shenyang teenager said, “They think
because I’m in middle school I should concentrate on my work. However, I need
to be able to relax. Most of my friends can watch TV and surf the Web a lot.
Sometimes it’s hard to talk to them.”
After some negotiations (商談), Hu has been allowed to watch TV
for 15 to 20 minutes every night, but has been told to keep away from the
computer.
Shen Ying, 17, Jianyang, Sichuan Province.
Since she feels she’s grown up now, she wants more respect from her
parents. “My father shouted at me when he’s in a bad mood. He doesn’t listen to
me, but instead acts like, ‘I’m the boss’!” said the teenager “I’d like my
parents to treat me like a friend and understand that respect is a two-way
street.”
Lu Yiting, 15, of Shantou, has a
different problem with her parents. They think she spends too much time with
her friends and is falling into bad company. “I want trust from my parents,” Lu
said.
It’s the age when teenagers are becoming
more independent (獨(dú)立的), but
their parents are very concerned about their kids’ futures, said Sun
Yunxiao, a senior researcher at the China Youth and Children Research Center.
Sun suggests that teenagers should learn to communicate with their parents
effectively. “Find the right time for a talk. On Mother’s Day or Father’s
Day, say ‘Thank you’ to your parents or give them a small gift with a letter so
they can get inside your head a little,” he advised. Sun also believes that
teenagers have to work to earn trust and respect from their parents. “You need
to make sure they know that you’re not going to screw up (搞砸) your exams or let them down. Let them know that you want to do
well, and that you will do well,” he said.
