Recently, a spate of children committed suicide because there was no proper communication among family members.
When teenagers run into problems, they feel confused and need help. If no one helps them, they will despair and become rebellious. They may play truant, take drugs, join the triad and run away from home. In extreme cases, they may end their lives.
I think there must be a close bond between parents and children. Parents should treat their children as friends, understand their problems and forgive their occasional mischief. Frequent conversations can help to create better understanding. Very often, misunderstanding leads to arguments, if not a worsening relationship.
My parents divorced when I was three. Fortunately, the broken marriage has not ruined my family. On the contrary, my sister and I love our family even more. We don't hide anything from each and other and solve problems together. A good relationship starts from good communication.
