SOLUTIONS/ADVICE
Samira, “You have to respect your
parents and understand their concern
as they just worry about your health.
Because it's very harmful to sit in
front of the TV or the computer for
a long time. Parents always want
everything good for their children”.
SOLUTIONS/ADVICE
Vagif, “I often come
home late. I spend
most of the time
with my friends in
the Internet Cafe. My
parents always worry
about me.
- Well, if you ask me there is too much to complain about being
young. It can really be hard sometimes, especially when your
parents hardly ever leave you alone.
- I like my Mom and Dad, but they’re always ready to criticise me.
“Don’t do that!” “You can’t do that!” It’s often really hard to put up
with.
- Frankly, I’m having a big argument with my parents at the moment.
I ask them to buy me a motorbike, but they say I can’t ride it on my
own. They say, “It’s against the law. Wait till you are 17.”
- Oh, I am not allowed to watch war films, because my parents say
they are too violent.
