I am very sorry to hear that. Here I want to give you some advice, I wish it could be helpful for you. Firstly, you should be not only strict but also
kindly to him. Treat him as an adult. You mustn't always shout at him. Respect him and his advice. Maybe his advice is of value.
Secondly, you may try to enjoy what he likes, such as music and DVDs. Take more notice of what he thinks. On one hand, you can understand him further, on the other hand you can bridge the gap between you.
Thirdly, you can turn to your son's close friends for help. They can understand what your son thinks and needs better.
I believe you can solve the problem satisfactorily, and everything will go well. Good luck to you!Assignments: Review the skills of how to write an advice letter.
