Are you the only child in the family? If so. you are the most important in your family. Parents are the
closest people to you in the world. But a lot of middle school students have a problem. They feel they're
not as close to their parents as before. They even don't think their parents are fair to them.
Some students tell me that their parents often say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say
their parents don't let them play computer games. Others say when they're making phone calls to friends,
their parents like to ask if they're speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some
students even decide to leave home because they' re afraid to tell their parents when they do something
wrong, or when they don't do well in exams. Then they usually think running away is a good way. But
running away may bring them some more problems.
Problems are part of life. Here are some suggestions for your problems.
(1) Find a good chance to talk with your parents. Don' t be afraid to tell them your feelings.
(2)Get help from others, like good friends or teachers.
(3)Keep a diary to help you know more about yourself and your feelings.
(4)Show your parents you're growing up. Then they' ll feel you' re no longer a small child.
If you follow the advice, you'll have a happy life and never think of running away.
