Parents

What makes a good parent? 

I believe that a good parent should always take care and think about their kids. Also, they should know whether you are hiding something important from them. Like my mom, she knows if I am lying about something or something happened to me, by just looking at me. That shows how much my parents care about me.

What sorts of things do you talk to your parents about? 

I usually talk about my education to my parents. I also ask my parents for advice when I need to make an important decisions. They usually help me with good advices, and I think parents are very helpful when you don't know what to do. Because they have more experiences with their lives, they know the right decisions. So I think It is very worth discussing with parents like me.

What sorts of things would you talk to a sibling or friend about—but not your parents? 

I don't really like to talk with my brother. Although he is older than me, I feel like my brother just don't take things seriously because it is not his problem. So instead, I usually talk to my friends. I talk about how sometimes my parents don't understand how I feel. I am not sure why, but I feel more comfortable talking to my friends than my parents or my brother.

Do your parents talk to you about their problems? 

No, my parents don't talk to me about their problems. I am not sure why, but I think they don't want me to feel burden with their problems. Personally, I want my parents to share their problems, because although I might not be a big help, but I can at least do something for them.

What sorts of things do teens and their parents fight about? 

Usually teens fight with their parents when their parents don't know how they feel. Parents will always stress you with studies, which will prevent you from hanging out with your friends. Also, some parents don't know what their kids are going through. I think in order to stop the fight between teens and parents is that they have to understand each other.

What are some ways parents can disappoint their children? 

There are many ways parents can disappoint us. Most importantly, we get really disappointed when they started to not trust us. I think it is really important for parents to trust their child. I, personally, get disappointed with my parents when they brawl. Sometimes a fight can start with little thing, but it can expand into a much bigger issue.

What are some ways that children can disappoint their parents? 

One of the ways that children can disappoint their parents is by lying. Parents always trust what their kids say. My parents always tells me that honesty is the most important thing in our lives and warns me to be honest all the time. Another way that children can disappoint their parents is denying parents' commands.
