"Be friends with me"

(Baonghean) The family has a niece, this year in grade 10. Living in a family of civil servants, the niece is taken care of quite carefully. That means the parents give their little princess all the best conditions: food, accommodation, clothes, school supplies and accompanied by a disciplined education regime: study hard, work hard, obey parents. Having been trained with those rules since childhood, the niece studies very well, is obedient and gentle.

When she entered high school, the niece became a young woman, and many boys in her class and above noticed her. Many guys wrote letters, texted, gave gifts to express their feelings... at a young age, the niece had "fallen in love" feelings. Instead of sympathizing, sharing, and confiding in her, when they found out, her parents made a fuss, cut off her phone, strictly forbade her from playing with friends of the opposite sex, and to supervise her, the father and mother took turns taking her to and from school.

The niece, who was previously cheerful and active, suddenly became quiet, depressed and her studies declined. As an only child, she had no siblings to share everything with, and her parents did not understand the psychology of her age and did not listen to her, so she became more withdrawn and quiet...

To educate children to be good people, in addition to rules and family traditions, parents need to share their children's feelings, thereby giving them useful advice and guiding their emotions, so that they can avoid unnecessary mistakes.
