F: You aren’t stuck in any situation

Life is the greatest teacher

There always comes a moment when I wonder where I will end up and this moment always serves as a strong motivation for me to learn life lesson. I’ve learned a great many things, but these are the lessons that I wish I’d learned earlier:

61. _________

There was a time when everyone’s opinion was mine as well. Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of another’s. This most likely came from a need to please others. Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guy’s, whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you. Everyone’s opinion holds the same weight.

62._________

Drama, chaos and emotional unrest---these were what took up most of my time as a teenager. If I had heard someone said bad things behind my back. I’d be angry. Go crazy. Looking back on those tantrums now, I’m not too surprised. After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible. The lesson here is, remain aware of how you react.

63.________

Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe? In my world it felt like it. I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong. But in the end, it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration. Is there really a point to arguing? Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I’ve learned that it’s better to hold your breath on things you can’t control at all. Arguing to change someone’s mind is one of them.

64.________

I’m not saying every parent wants what’s best for you (there are outliers), but in general, parents do what they do for you in your best interest. My parents used to make me do the dishes, cook dinner, sweep the floors, mow the lawn, take out the garbage… the list goes on and on. And at every turn, I’d whine and complain. I’d eventually end up doing it. Now, I honestly see the value in having learned those skills. I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself.

65. _______

Whenever I’d lose a friend, get an awful grade, or disappoint my parents. I stewed in my own muck. Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution. Fortunately, I know now that you don’t have to be stuck in bad situations. You can go out and create better ones. It all depends on perspective; on how you see the situation. Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable, even during the hard times. You aren’t stuck. You can move on.

I’m glad to have learned these lessons the way I did. Each experience helped shape me to become a better person. I don’t know if any young people are reading this, but if they are. I’d like to say this: “Listen to life and its experiences. Everyone goes through mostly the same things.”

Arguing with your parents is totally natural for teens. From your hairstyle to your friends, to your marks at school, to your television habits, to your future plans, it might just seem like you argue with your parents about everything. While this is not generally a pleasant state of affairs, it is normal and it will most likely pass.
Argue fairly
Arguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know what is best for the teen. Parents have been caring for their teens for over a decade, but teens are quickly becoming adults and believe that they are able to take care of themselves. If you must agree with them, argue fairly by: Allowing each person to speak their mind. Refusing to interrupt others when they are speaking. Sticking only to the topic at hand.
Argue respectfully
No matter how heated things may get during an argument, try to remember that your parents still are worthy of your attention, respect and love. During arguments, be respectful by: Keeping your voice lowered at all times and refusing to shout. Sitting still and staying calm. Refusing to engage in angry actions such as kicking, throwing or hitting anything. Reasonably explaining the reasons for your opinions.
_________
There is a thin line between having a discussion and engaging in an argument, but smart teens know that keeping their interactions with their parents at the discussion level practically guarantees that they will be taken more seriously. No one likes to argue, and the parents of teens can be especially weary of it, so keeping things at the discussion level will work to everyone's advantage.
Arguing with parents is practically a sign of the teenaged years, but out-of-control arguments don't serve anyone well. Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what compromises (妥协)you are willing to make in order to achieve your goals. You never know, you might just avoid an argument all together.

D. how to avoid arguing with parents
61. When arguing with your parents, you should______.
