Question

“Give it back to me!” Zhu Han shouted at his mum angrily. She had just grabbed(抓取) his cell phone, saying that he should stop playing and go to sleep.

“I told her it was 9 o’clock and I’d finished my homework, but she didn’t listen,” said the 15-year-old boy. “I really couldn’t understand her!”

Do you sometimes feel the same way? A China Youth Daily report said that, according to a survey on 1,500 students, 61% of the students said they felt they weren’t able to communicate(交流) with their parents. Besides, 37% of them said they never shared their worries with their parents.

One of the most important reasons is that students and parents don’t have much common ground(共同点). The different ages always lead to different interests.

Peng Yu, a psychological professor(心理学教授) pointed out another reason. He said when entering puberty(青春期), teenagers begin to have their own thoughts(思想) and want their parents to treat them like adults(成人). But parents don’t follow the change.

He suggested that children should first understand that their parents do everything out of love. “With this in mind, students should try to talk with their parents calmly and often enough,” he said.

Huang Xinlin, 14, agreed with the advice. She talks with her mum during supper every day and she also helps do the housework. “We talk about everything and even make jokes while sharing housework,” Huang said happily. “We are like friends.”
