Dear Han Mei,
I am awfully sorry to hear that your relationships with your parents are on the rocks. Here are some suggestions for you.
First and foremost, please remember that it’s quite normal for us teenagers to experience the pressure of generation gap, which arises from difference in expectations--parents usually expect their children to be obedient and sensible, while children are eager for understanding and respect. To improve this situation, effective communication is essential. It is advisable that your parents should spend more time listening to your thoughts instead of just giving orders. Meanwhile, you ought to be more patient to express feelings. Building mutual trust and understanding can help both sides stand in each other’s shoes, thus creating a harmonious parent-child relationship.
Hope my suggestions will be of some help. Looking forward to your favourable reply!
