When you'reteenagers, it seems that every time you say "I want to…", your parentswill answer, "No, you can't."
Young peoplealways complain that their parents do not1 them.When something goes wrong, most parents just don't believe2 theirchildren. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parentsallow their kids3 for themselves.
Yes,4 is truethat your parents sometimes treat you as a little child. But remember that not longago you were really a child. Your parents still remember the childish(幼稚的)5 you used to make. They want to protect you6 youdon't want them to do so.
So, if youwant to get7 freedom(自由) , please try to understandyour parents and don't lie to them. Try a friendlier way. If you want them to8 youto stay out late, don't just say, "All9 kidscan stay out late." Tell them as much as you can talk about what you want todo and where you'll be and how important it is10 youto stay out late. Then they just might say, "Yes."
