Parents' blame

After the summer vacation you return to your school and notice that your schoolmates had changed. They wear the different clothes and use make-up. You look different in your suit?
It is one of the most popular problems of the teenagers. Actually, it is a kind of the generations' problem. Perhaps, you know that the parents and their children used to be in tensed relationships sometimes. But even if you get along with your parents well, but you are not allowed to wear what you like, try to do the following things. Do not doubt that your parents love you and want you to be happy, but they can not quickly accept you as an adult person with the different needs and desires. Choose one of the parents whom you trust more (it is mom to the girls usually, but everything depends on your relationships inside your family; perhaps, both parents can listen to you) and hold the conversation.
In order to keep a successful communication, you should understand the problem clearly. If you have the feeling that your schoolmates wear fashionable and beautiful clothes, but you look like a mouse in comparison with them, and it prevents you to feel cosy and comfortable, it means that your self-esteem suffers. In addition, you like the boy or the girl, but your outlook prevents you to be honest with him/her; explain it to your parents casually. Your sincere tone is to assist the process of parents' "upbringing". By the way, they say that the men are more experienced in the feminine fashion. Your father might give you some good tips how to wear. If you belong to the subculture and it is used to keep definite style, it is more difficult to explain your parents, but you should try. Prompt them that you are an individual and this lifestyle helps you to find yourself.
At least, whatever your parents say, they were young too and wore unusual or fashionable clothes too. So, make it your weapon as well in order to achieve peace in your family.
