Question

Read the letter to a problem page. Write a reply to Harriet. Write 70-90 words.


My parents are stricter than my friends' parents. On weekdays I have to come home after school and do my homework. I'm not allowed to hang out with my friends. My school marks aren't bad, but Mum thinks I'm lazy. She thinks I have to study more. And Dad says I don't help with the housework. I get furious and we argue all the time. Please help me.

Dear Harriet,

It sounds challenging to feel restricted, especially compared to your friends. Try having a calm conversation with your parents, expressing how you feel and suggesting a compromise. Perhaps propose a schedule that balances study, chores, and social time. Your effort to communicate and understand their perspective might help them see your maturity and adjust the rules. Remember, they likely have your best interests at heart.

Take care,
