Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you dont think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them. Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out.Michaels mother didnt agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement.
