[00:00.00]You should have asked them if you should try
[00:03.42]out for the play in the first place!
[00:07.68]I disagree with you too,Yongqi.Let me tell you
[00:12.67]both why.Minghua,if you don't tell your parents
[00:16.23]anything,they will think that you're hiding
[00:18.93]something from them and they'll become
[00:21.81]suspicious and worried.
[00:23.53]They love you so they will try to find out what
[00:27.00]they think you're hiding and you will feel that
[00:30.40]your privacy is being invaded even more.
[00:33.40]Your relationship with your parents will worsen
[00:35.86]further and you will all be unhappy.
[00:39.60]Yongqi,your parents care about you very deeply
[00:43.89]but our parents' role in our lives is to help
[00:47.32]us become independent,caring individuals.
[00:50.98]They are here to guide us but not to make our
[00:53.74]decisions for us!
[00:56.37]OK,Yu Ming,I see what you mean.
[00:59.54]But how can I get my mum to stop asking me all
[01:02.65]these irritating questions?
[01:04.84]Well,have you thought if explaining to her in a
[01:08.58]really nice way that you feel pressured when
[01:11.59]she asks you about the play?
[01:14.40]She is probably just interested in what you are
[01:16.64]doing and is trying to let you know that
[01:18.80]she cares!
[01:20.22]Think about it-she doesn't want to make you
[01:23.42]feel irritated!
