PAGE  【创新方案】（湖南专用）2014-2015学年高中英语 Unit 2 Growing pain牛津译林版 在我们成长的道路上，总会遇到各种各样的烦恼。当我们经历这些烦恼之时感到既痛苦又无助，但是当我们长大了回过头去看时，我们会突然发现，正是曾经的烦恼使我们一步步走向成熟。 The main problem in family is the communication difficulty between parents and children, or “generation (一代) gap (代沟)”. According to a survey, more than 50% of the teenagers prefer to tell their friends their problems, but not their parents. Why? Because they don’t think their parents can understand their pains. That makes it meaningless to have a discussion with their parents. For example, teenagers are in favor of Hip-Hop nowadays while their parents treat it as a kind of damage to the art. Parents are fond of Beijing Opera while children can’t see the amazing (令人吃惊的) point at all. Then how can they share the topic of Hip-Hop or Beijing Opera? Having been raised by parents for more than 15 years, teenagers seem to be tired of comfortable life, especially boys. They think they have had the ability to go their own way without the help of their parents. Teenagers try their best to be less affected by their parents. If there is something that is hard to deal with, they turn to their friends or teachers. Some even ask for advice from online friends whom they’ve never met. They talk little with their parents, spend less time with them and refuse to ask for their parents’help. What about parents? They don’t want their children to be hurt, even only a little bit. Therefore, they are against anything that they think will be dangerous for their children. Parents of many of my students often talk to me about their worries. Although they clearly realize that independence is good for teenagers in some fields, they’d like to protect them as much as possible.
