Question

  After seating myself in my room and turning on my computer,I noticed a note―it was stuck to my monitor. It read, "Don't 1       your computer. You stayed up until midnight doing your homework last night. ―Mom."I 2       the note into the wastebasket. "Why do they 3       ?" I thought. "They're never here anyway."

  Right after middle school started,I almost lost contact with my parents. Because of all their business 4       ,they asked the neighbors to look after me. Of course,the neighbors didn't do such a (n) 5       job,as they had kids of their own to worry about. The only way of 6       between my parents and me was through the notes.

  After eight hours away from home,I usually came home to find the house 7        empty. It made me sad. I came home from school to be welcomed by 8       ,I had no one to talk to and was watched over by my neighbors. That was when I started 9        more clubs and staying outside after school more often,10       I didn't have to feel so lonely. Luckily,at school,my friends were there 11        me. They were all there to give me a 12       or talk with me when I wanted to talk. I felt great when I was at school. Yet,something was still 13      -my parents.

  Now I realize that nobody can 14        my parents. I hope that they will be there at home,waiting for me to come back from school. There are too many things my parents don't know about me. I hope that they will actually have a(n) 15       to understand me. I want them to understand that they're my parents and I'm their kid and I need them.
