My parents don't listen. How can I communicate with them?
Communication is hard work. It's often easier to say nothing than to talk things out. But you shouldn't make excuses not to communicate — "They never listen anyway", "We will only end up fighting", or "They will just make fun of me".
You should also avoid(避免) communication killers. When your parents don't seem to understand you, it doesn't take long for you to form habits that kill communication. Some of these communication-killers are:
The silent treatment. You don't speak at all to your parents.
Just putting up with（忍受） it. You say what you think your parents want to hear, but then go out secretly and do what you want anyway.
Bigger, better, and nicer. You tell your parents how much better your friends' parents are.
Running away. You get so frustrated(沮丧的) that you leave the room or the house to avoid further quarrelling.
Don't get frustrated or give up. Keep the lines of communication open. Just follow the tips
below.
You must always keep in mind that they are your parents and that you have to respect them. If you make a mistake, admit (承认) it, and say sorry. If they do something wrong to you, point it out to them without getting loud or quarrelling with them.
Listen to what they have to say because parents are wiser about some things and are always trying to protect you. Put yourself in their shoes and when you are talking to them, don't say anything which might be held against you. Don't let your anger put down your character.
Communicate with your parents; don't let the day end without reaching an agreement and make sure that the agreement pleases yourself, as well as your parents. Let it all go; tell your parents how much you love them.

A. Because they are always trying to stop us from being hurt.
B. Because they are our parents and we have to respect them.

Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes in my car. Someone may look at me strangely or even laugh at me when I stopped at a traffic light. Personally I love to get lost in the music. That can lead me to share with you the importance of being silly!
The meaning of the word silly, according to the dictionary is : stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they are always serious in their life, but in fact that is really stupid.
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal(朴素的), how rich, and so on … No one is perfect! So why pretend(假装) to be something you are not?
Life is so short…_________, so why waste a single second on being so “perfect”?
When we were kids, we had no idea of fear and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that kind of feeling.
So don’t be afraid to be silly. The next time you feel down, go and turn on your favourite song , sing and dance along just like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good.
