Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not munication 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 are some suggestions for you to bridge generation gap(代沟).
Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them You can't express(表达) yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place 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(有分歧) on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.
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 your own. 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. 21cnjy.com

between his parents have become difficult.
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.
