Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to
communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge
the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents.Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your
parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express
yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace tocool off.Make sure you understand why you are
unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can
speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.
You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother
did’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to
a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.    Of course,
your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important
to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship(关系) strong.
Talk about your values.The values of your parents are probably different from those
of your own.Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help
them see your purposes in life.    A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and
happier person. It is worth having a try!
