When life gives you lemons – make lemonade

If life gives you strict teachers – thank them 

If life gives you strict parents – obey them

You are talking to your friend who is sad after quarreling with parents. Remember to ask:•what the matter with him is;•what the reason for the quarrel was (bad school marks, not helping at home, his/her rudeness, parents treating him/her as a child, pocket money, etc.);•if he/she often quarrels with parents;•what the usual reasons for such quarrels are;•if he/she tried to talk to his/her parents and solve the disagreement;•what he/she is planning to do to change the situation;•if he/she knows other people with the same problems and how they coped with them;•if you can be helpful and in what way.

.

Remember: be active, polite, ask questions and find out all the information you want to know, work out what to do in such situations.

Trust, Love, Friendship and
