Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents . They say that
their parents don't understand them . They often think their parents are too
strict with them , and they are never given a free hand .
Parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust（信任）and they seem to
forget how they themselves felt when they were young .
For example , young people like to do things without much thinking . It's one
of their ways to show that they grow up and they can do with any difficult
things . older people worry more easily . Most of them plan（计划）things ahead and
don?/FONT>t like their plans to be changed .
When you want your parents to let you do something , you will have better
success（成功）if you ask before you really start doing it .
Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they want , the music
they enjoy and something else . But they don't mean to cause（引起）any trouble .
They just feel that in this way they can be cut off from the old people's world
and they want to make a new culture（文化）of their own . And if their
parents don't like their music or clothes or their manner of speech , the young
people feel very unhappy .
Sometimes you even don't want your parents to say ,“Yes”to what you do . You
want to stay at home alone and do what you like .
If you plan to control（控制）your life , you'd better win your parents over and
try to get them to understand you . If your parents see that you have high
sense of responsibility（责任感）, they will certainly give you the right to do what
you want to do .
