Many teenagers don’t get along well with their parents and they don’t know what to do. If you face such a
problem, what I’m saying now might be 1 (help) to you.
Have you ever thought of 2 (talk) to your parents to find out why you don’t get along well with
each other? When I was a teenager, I didn’t get on well with my parents, either. We sometimes argued with each
other. I am sorry that I had such an experience. Now I’m a mother of four girls. Of course, we have different
opinions, but I encourage them to communicate with me openly and honestly. In this way, I make sure that they
trust me and come to me for anything. As a result, we get along very well.
Arguing with your parents will 3 (certain) make them angry and you won’t feel good. Also,
remember that the most important thing is to solve problems and 4 (silent) will only make the situation
worse. Try your best to be calm. If you cannot control your 5 (feel), you can go to a doctor or yourteacher who could give you advice on your problem.
Remember that your parents love you. Sometimes they do something that you can 6 (hard)
understand. For example, you may want to be an 7 (art) in the future, but your parents want you to do
something else. If so, try to think in their shoes.
Life is too short and family is important. Try your best to get along well with your parents.
