Dear Mr. Hunt,
My problem is that I can't get on with my
family.Relations between my parents have
become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really
don't like it.It's the only communication they
have. I don't know if I should say anything to
them about this.When they argue, it's like a big,
black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my
elder brother is not very nice to me. He always
refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show.
Instead he watches whatever he wants until late
at night. I don't think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal What can I do
Sad and Thirteen
Dear Sad and Thirteen,
It's not easy being your age, and it's normal to
have these feelings. Why don't you talk about
these feelings with your family If your parents
are having problems, you should offer to help.
Maybe you could do more jobs around the house
so that they have more time for proper
communication. Secondly, why don't you sit
down and communicate with your brother You
should explain that you don't mind him watching
TV all the time. However, he should let you
watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you soon.
