Make your parents feel proud. There are many, many 　38　 that you can impress(给……留下深刻印象) your parents. By trying your best, you will 　39　 them that you are becoming more mature(成熟的), and that they can begin to discuss things with you less as a child and 　40　 as an adult.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider(仔细考虑) your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of you. Tell your parents what you care about and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

How to Improve Myself
Life is really a long lesson, so I have to improve myself.
First, I need to exercise one hour every day. It is bad to stay at home and play games for a long time. Second, I should be responsible for myself and my family. I should be independent instead of depending on my parents too often. Third, in the face of the problems, I have to take up the challenges and work them out rather than run away from them. Next, I will develop my interest in many things, such as playing basketball and drawing. Last but not least, I will communicate with others and be a good team player.
