Are you the only child in the family? If so. you are the most important in your family. Parents are the
closest people to you in the world. But a lot of middle school students have a problem. They feel they"re
not as close to their parents as before. They even don"t think their parents are fair to them.
Some students tell me that their parents often say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say
their parents don"t let them play computer games. Others say when they"re making phone calls to friends,
their parents like to ask if they"re speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some
students even decide to leave home because they" re afraid to tell their parents when they do something
wrong, or when they don"t do well in exams. Then they usually think running away is a good way. But
running away may bring them some more problems.
Problems are part of life. Here are some suggestions for your problems.
(1) Find a good chance to talk with your parents. Don" t be afraid to tell them your feelings.
(2)Get help from others, like good friends or teachers.
(3)Keep a diary to help you know more about yourself and your feelings.
(4)Show your parents you"re growing up. Then they" ll feel you" re no longer a small child.

Women, who, thirty years ago, spent under two hours a day on cooking, now spend just one hour and
seven minutes, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
"I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later I was wearing an apron (围裙). When I opened the door, he laughed at me," .said Prof. Gershuny. "That would never happen
now. "
The report also makes clear that the family meal is much healthier than before, because of people"s
learning how to cook.
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not
necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.
Anne Murphy said, "The evening meal is still clearly important to family life and more people are now
talking about family time. We think we"ll return to traditionalism (传统主义). "
However, Prof. Gershuny said that the family meal was now hardly eaten by all of its members around
a table - with many "family meals" in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by different
members of the family.
