Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think their parents are too strict  41  them.

Parents often find  42 difficult to win their children’s trust and they seem to  43 how they themselves felt when they were young.

For example, young people like to do things without much  44 . It’s one of their ways to show that they grow up and they can  45 any difficult problems. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead and don’t like their plans to be changed. So when you want your parents to let you do  46 , you will have better success if you ask  before you really start doing it.

Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they wear, the music they enjoy and something  47 . But they don’t mean to cause any trouble. They just feel that  48 this way they can be cut off from the old people’s world and they want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents don’t like their music or clothes or their way of speech, the young people feel very sad. Sometimes instead of going out with their parents, they just want to stay at home  49 and do what they like.

If you plan to do something, you’d better win your parents over and get them to understand you. 50 , your parents will certainly let you do what you want to do.
