As you said , your son refuses to do everything you ask him to do. My advice is that youd better not force him to do anything that he doesnt like. If you really want him to do something, you can tell him the importance and necessity of doing that at a proper time. He himself will decide whether to do it or not since he is a boy now and he has his own idea. He insists on watching DVDs and listening to foreign music. In my opinion, if it is good for him, you can show interests in his hobbies although you dont like it at all.,Write an advice letter,Internet caf is a very popular place now.

Think over what you should do and tell your classmates.,Discussion,Discussion,In order to improve our relationship, I will give my father a birthday surprise first.
