  Norman(not his real name)also aged 14

  Yes, I get   1   allowance every month.It's fair, but   2   less than I would like.And my parents won't give me   3  .They say I have to learn to   4   my money and live   5   a budget.I'll have to do that when I become   6  .If they want me to do something, they tell me.They don't ask me.Sometimes I argue   7   them, hut usually I lose.They say,‘We are your parents.Until you're old enough, we'll   8   that we think are best for you.’

  With regard to   9  , I've got to help for about an hour every day.I've got to wash dishes and clothes, clean the floors and toilet and sometimes cook.My parents say I'll have to run my own home some day, so it's   10   to learn how to do it now.They'd never dream of paying me for doing housework.It's the responsibility of the whole family, isn't it?

  My parents give me presents   11  , usually things that I can use.For example, when they saw that I was   12   about learning tennis, they bought me a good racket.And they only buy me simple clothes that can last a long time.They often say‘No’when I ask for things.But if I can pay for something with money that I've earned myself, that's different.They say it's bad to expect things for   13  .It won't be like that when I grow up.

  We have one TV for the   14   family, and I watch it for about seven hours a week.My father believes that when you're watching TV, you're not thinking, so your   15   doesn't develop.When I say that he watches more than I do, he says his mind has already developed.
