I try to be a good son. But no matter how hard I try, my parents never seem to be satisfied. They think I should eat healthier food, wear nicer clothes and get better grades. According to them, my hair should be shorter, my room should be neater and my friends should be more polite when they come to visit. You know it isn’t easy being a teenager.
Dialogue:
Not good enough
Man: My parents are always saying I am not good enough.
Woman: Really. What do they mean?
Man: they seem my hair is too long, my room is too dirty and I am not good enough at school.
Woman: What do you think then?
Man: I don’t think they are right. I have tried my best and that is enough. It is unfair that they are always saying this thing. Sometimes I even feel deeply5 hurt.
