Sometimes，teenagers don't think their parents are fair to them now.It is a new problem.When you want to dress in a modern way，your mum doesn't like you wearing a mini skirt.When you are making phone calls to friends，they ask who you're talking to.This doesn't make teenagers happy.And of course，they become less patient.
Sometimes it seems that you're not as close to your parents as before.How can you become close again？Closing the Gap by American writer Jay McGaw teaches teenagers how they can have a better relationship with parents.
The book gives ways to help children have a better understanding of their parents.When you think "my parents don't want me to have any fun" that usually means your parents want you to be safe.Both parents and children have needs.You should tell your parents your need，and find out what their needs are.Then you can think of a way to make all of you happy.The book gives you some ideas.
①Make time to talk.You could talk about your school life and your plans for the future.
②Keep a diary.This is to help you understand more about yourself and feelings.
③Show your parents you are growing up.Wash your own clothes and help around the house.Your parents will feel you are no longer a small child.
If you follow these steps，you will be able to break down the walls between your parents and yourself.
