I am a lucky child to be born in a happy family and brought up to be a good person. However, there are still some conflicts between me and my parents which sometimes widens the gap between us. First, as I usually maintain a stubborn silence, I do not share with them my stories at school or my relationship, they feel that I'm trying to hide them something. In fact, I do not want to share my thought with anyone else, because I'm a introvert. It's so sad that my parents can't understand this and keep suspecting me.

The second problem was over my curfew. They were pretty strict about it but I would still often come home at 2am instead of 11pm. No matter what time I came home, my father would still get out of bed to yell at me. Or sometimes my parents would be waiting up for me!

Another big issue were friends. They criticized some of them a lot. But I would never change them. Looking back on it now, they may have been right about some of them but most were just fine. My friends were really important to me because I was an only child and sometimes not very happy at home. 

Yet I have found thousands of ways to solve those. 

I try to talk to my parents often and show respect them. I understand that there’s no point in arguing with them just to cause a bit of drama in the house. Another way is me trying to put myself in their position sometimes, some of the things they say and do that annoy you, could be because they care about me,
