Dear Sun’s readers,
Nice to meet you. I’m Mike. I work as a writer for SUN. I find that many teenagers have nobody to tell when they have problems. So I start this column “JUST ASK”. If you meet any problem in your life, just write to me and ask for help here. I hope I can help you out.
Mike
Dear Mike,
My problem is that I can’t get on well with my parents. They always ask me to take part in different kinds of after-school classes. I am stressed out. I hope I can do what I am really interested in. In order not to argue with them, I refused to communicate with them before. So, in fact, they don’t know my opinion. Yesterday, when they talked about the after-school class with me again, suddenly I was not in control of my emotion and had a big fight with them. Now, I feel very sad and upset, because I don’t really want to argue with them and I love them a lot. What should I do now? Please give me some advice. Thanks a lot.
Selina
