Will your parents believe what you say and listen to and respect your opinions? A lot depends on your parents. Some parents are easy to talk to, and some are hard to talk to.
But some of what happens depends on you too. Since communication is a two-way street, the way you talk can affect (影响) how well a parent listens to and understands you.
So here are some guides to consider how to talk to parents:
Be clear. Be clear about what you think, feel, and want. Give details that can help parents understand your situation. They can listen better or be more helpful if they understand what you mean and what's really going on.
______ If you're always honest, your parents will be likely to believe what you say. If you lie, they will find it hard to trust you.
Try to understand their point of view. If they don't agree with you, can you see your parents'side? If you can, say so, Telling parents you understand their views and feelings helps them be willing to see yours too.
Try to be calm. Using a friendly tone (声调) makes it more likely that parents will listen and take what you say seriously. It also makes it more likely that they'll talk to you in the same way. If you feel angry, do something to stop it before taking: Go for a run or cry. Do whatever it takes to keep calm when you need to.
