As you grow older, you’ll begin to understand your parents better. Becoming angry with them all the time doesn’t help. You may not want to go to summer camp when none of your friends will be there, but your parents know you will soon make new friends there.

You’ll feel much more sympathetic to your parents’ feelings when you have a child of your own!
