Dear Mr. Zhu,
I am writing to your magazine's "Teenagers Now" column (专栏) to ask for some help with my
16-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost everything his mother and I ask him to do. He
is our only child and we treat him very well. His grandparents buy him many things, and yet he is still rude
to us. He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him. Sometimes he acts as if he doesn't even love
us at all.
Now he refuses to do his homework, and instead insists on wasting his time watching DVDs and
listening to foreign music. I cannot understand this music, but I don't like it. He also spends too much time
in Internet cafes, where he either plays games or chats online. He is wasting valuable time during this
important period in his life!
What am I to do? At present, to prevent making his mother unhappy with an argument, I am allowing
him his freedom. However, I am worried that if I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at
school, or worse.
How can I help my son without harming our relation ship?
Yours,
Liu Zhenhua
