My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do?
Helen, USA
Why do you think you’re the only one with parents like that? All parents are the same. They want us to look like them. They don’t understand that fashion have changed in the past 30years!
Tom, Canada
Hi, Helen. I think you should do what your parents ask. They’re much older than you and you should respect them. It’s their house you live in and their money you spend!
