"I don't like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry," said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou．Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?

One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc．All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.

So how can you make things easier on yourself? It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility（責(zé)任） for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.

Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.

　　There are many things we need to know that we don't learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare (比較) the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands (品牌) . We need to know how to make a choice (選擇) when we shop.

　　Knowing how to make such choices is a “l(fā)ife skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.

　　Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.

　　We have to realize that the choices we make can affect (影響) the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly about movies, think about this; Who else does your choice affect?
