Family plays a major part in out life. It is very important to have a happy family. But nowadays it has become a really rare thing. Parents very often do not understand what their children want. The conflict between the two generations remains unsolved.
What do I understand under the term “A happy family”? Teenagers have their own ideas, and their mothers and fathers want to see and support them. So our parents know that their children are a new generation. They try to understand their interests. My mother is one such person. She helps me to achieve what I want. If she sees that I have acquired a new interest, she does not try to stop me. She is indulgent towards me, my desires and aspirations. I dearly appreciate it.
To my mind every member of a family must do their fair share. However if one has a lot of duties, he can start thinking that he is like a slave. These thoughts lead to conflicts. It is common in all families.
If you have a good family you cam decide calmly how to overcome your difficulties. Your family will always support you.
To sum up, a happy family is a friendly unit where each member is on equal terms with each other, and where there is no lack of privacy. It is also a plane where your nearest and dearest are interested in your wants, and nobody asks you embarrassing questions and nags you about your looks, school and behavior.
