Whether you like it or not, your parents are responsible(负责任的) for you, at least until you’ re out of high school. But 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 only care 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 I should concentrate on my work because I’m in middle school. 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 (商谈), 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, of Jianyang, Sichuan Province, feels she has grown up now. So she wants more respect(尊重) 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(信任) from my parents,” Lu said.
It’s the age when teenagers are becoming more independent, but their parents care very much 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 get 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.

I’m always not sure whether my parents love each other or not. Every day they are very busy making money so that they can a good life for my sister and me. They don’t act in the usual ways that I read in books or I see on TV. Also, they never send to each other on Feb, 14.
One day, my mother was sewing* a quilt. I quietly sat down beside her.
“Is there love you and Dad?” asked I.
With a little surprise in her eyes, my mother stopped to raise her head and me. She said for long time. At last I heard my mother’s voice:
“Jane,” she said, “Look at this thread*. sometimes it appears, most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If life is a quilt, then should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there, and disappears.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her the next spring, when my father suddenly got seriously. My mother had to look after him in the hospital for a month. When they home, every day in the morning and evening, my mother helped my father walk slowly. They often walked without a word. And after two months, my father still couldn’t walk by . All of us were worried about him very much.
“Dad, are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Jane,nothing serious. To tell you the truth, I just like with your mom. I like this kind of life,even if I cannot walk anymore.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant good presents and sweet kisses. But now, I understand that love is just like a thread in the quilt. Love is inside, making our nice and warm.
