Family conflict
The generation gap , which refers to a broad difference between one generation and anther , espesially between young people and their partens , usully leads to numerous conflicts . Such family conflicts can seiously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times
It gose without saying that , however old their childen are , perents still regard them as small kids and keep in in mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have wise choices . Therefore , they tend to make a great attempt to help thier children to discover the outside word . Nevertheless , they forget that as chiidren grow up , they want to be more independent and develop their own identity by creating their own opinions , thought , styles and values about life . One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers . While teens are keen on wearing fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends , parents who valie traditional clothes believe that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the society . It becomes worse when the expensive brand name clothes teens choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education between parent and teenagers . Young people are told that they have word at their feetand that dazzing futur opportunities are just waiting for them to sexie .

♬ Knowing that when I was offline, you guys still take care of our English box, I just want to say that I have been so grateful for that:
Knight, Sunn So Sad, Cihce, Khinh Yên, ALICE TRẦN, Cậu Chủ Nhỏ, htfziang, hồng xinh gái, Nguyễn Ngọc Khánh Huyền, Phan Thị Anh Thư, Ah, Phạm Vĩnh Linh, Ngố Ngây Ngô, I CAN FLY, Đào Thu Hiền, Đỗ Thanh Hải, Dzịt... (and many others that I haven't named, let's comment below!)
⚡ In the meanwhile, I have accomplished some of my plans. I reckon without the help of Hoc24 managers and organizers, and all of you, my friends, I couldn't do that.
These days, I am so glad to see we have gained a lot of new friends who have actively participated. Wish you all have fun and useful experiences here!
☕ This weekend, I am sending you an old saying that I read somewhere and was kept in my notebook:
"The beauty of a person is revealed most dearly in labor. The recognition of the world is not only intellectual, but also emotional... It goes without saying that studying cannot be a simple game consisting of pleasure alone. Studying is labor first of all."
Therefore, we should not only do what we are interested in, but also what may not be of interest to us, and we should do it for the pleasure of fulfilling one's obligations.
We are preparing ourselves for life, and in life, not all obligations are entertaining.
- Vasyl Olexandrovych Sukhomlynsky
❤ What I do want to tell you via the saying is that:
You have looked after this English box since I was away, that is, you have been independent in your studies and you have a sense of independent work without the supervision of anyone else. That is exactly what labor is and you are like hard-working and mindful bees.
I do appreciate that!
Sending you my love!
