Here is some advice for you to bridge the 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. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off . Make sure you understand why you areunhappy. 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 a nd your parents disagree 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 motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, 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(尊重)to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values.
