My mum keeps a notebook of my grades in every exam. She asks my teachers how I’m doing at school whenever she can. It seems as if my grades are the most important thing in her life. When we’re at home, she keeps pressing me to study all the time. I do as she says, but she is never happy with my grades. Why can’t she leave me alone I want to take a break once in a while. I want to listen to music or go out with my friends. Is that too much to ask for

I’m eager for my parents’ love. They’re always busy at work. I hardly ever see them during the week because they do not get home until late at night. I tell them that I’m stressed about schoolwork, but neither of them show any concern. Sometimes I feel quite lonely at home. When was the last time we had a family outing at the weekend When was the last time we had a long talk How can parents not care about their children

Everyone says that youth is a time for adventure, but my parents disagree. I spend most of my spare time at home, because they hardly ever let me go out with my friends. When I do go out, they always ask, “Where are you going ” “Who are you going with ” “What are you going to do ” “When will you be back ” They are always on my back about something.
I understand that they’re trying to protect me from getting hurt. However, just as a baby kangaroo must learn to protect itself when it leaves its mother’s pocket, I will have to learn to protect myself when I grow up. I wish they could be more flexible so that I can make my own choices about what to do in my spare time.

Advice for Rebecca

Dear Rebecca,
I understand your feelings. As you mentioned in the email, you put a lot of effort into your schoolwork. If your mother doesn’t value that, of course you’re going to be unhappy. But remember: every parent has high hopes for their children. Your mother wants you to be successful but she probably fails to see how you struggle. Try these pieces of advice and see if they help improve your relationship.

First, talk to your mother. Make sure she understands your feelings. Choose a good time and start the conversation politely. You can begin with something like, “I know that you expect me to do well at school, but I’m struggling sometimes. Can we please talk ” you should also try to meet in the middle when talking to your mother. Of course, school matters, but relaxation is good for you too. Tell your mother about your interests and ask for more free time to spend on them. For example, if you like listening to music, explain why you enjoy it and how it helps you. Why don’t you make a deal that you are both satisfied with

advice
Second, put yourself in your mother’s shoes and try to understand what she does. I know it isn’t easy, but you must be patient. When your mother keeps pressing you to study all the time, think about the reason why she does so. When I was your age, I thought senior high school was tiring too. I couldn’t understand why my parents were so strict with me. However, when I grew up, I realized that they just wanted me to have the best possible future. After that, I became so much closer to my mum and dad.
Everything will turn out all right, I promise.
Yours sincerely,
Cynthia

Sample
Dear Simon，
I’m sorry to know that you are worried about the parent-child relationships . I understand your feelings. I am writing to offer some advice.
Firstly, I think you can communicate with your parents patiently. You are supposed to talk to them in their spare time. In addition, I suggest you should put yourself in your parents’ shoes. You should understand why they are so hard-working. They just want to provide you with a better environment. So you must understand the situation from their point of view as much as possible. Last not but least, it is a good idea to develop some hobbies and spend time with your friends. It can make you not lonely.
I hope my advice will be of help to you. Everything will be right in the end.
Yours,
Li Hua
I understand your feelings. Sometimes parents can become too (protection). It is their job to protect their child harm. But don‘t be unhappy.Try these (piece)of advice and see if they help.
First, you are advised (tell)your parents what you think about their protective behavior. Tell them you fully understand their love you, but explain side effects of their over-protectiveness. They may change their mind they learn about your feelings.
Second, it is a good idea (show) your parents how responsible you can be. Make it clear when you need their help and when you don‘t. For example, tell them that they don’t need (worry) about you when you go out (with) friends during the daytime. But if you want to go out in the evening, assure them that you will be home before 9 o'clock.
I hope you will find my advice (help). I wish you all the best.
Dear Laura,
Yours sincerely,
Cynthia
