Answer 1

Maybe you think your parents don’t understand you. They stop you from dressing in a modern way. They mind who you’re calling. You seem not so close to them as you used to be. How can you get on well with them? Here are some ideas:
1. Talk to them about your school life and your plans for the future.
2. Tell them your needs and find out what their needs are.
3. Do some housework you can. They will feel that you are no longer a small child.
If you follow these steps, slowly, you will break down the walls between you and them. Make home a happier place to be.
