long live the understanding

Hello, dad has been working hard recently. How are you?

Dad, you don't know who is far from the headquarters, do you? I raised two lovely chickens, which added a lot of joy to me. Mom says it's not easy to raise me. How can I bear to raise chickens? Under my repeated assurances: I will raise them before I acquiesce in raising chickens. I have a little cold now. You don't want me to raise chickens like your mother, but why don't I understand? You are afraid of "bird flu", so am I. I raise chickens, not only because I like chickens, but also because sometimes there is no one at home, and my mother always gets off work later than me. I don't want to stay at home alone. I'm afraid of bad weather, so I raise chickens to keep me company. I've been much happier since I got a chicken. The first thing I did when I got home was to watch the chickens, talk to them about my worries and watch them eat, which made me feel much more cheerful. Your daughter can do it. I will take care of my little friend myself.

Mom and Dad, I have grown up. Please don't keep looking at me, okay? As I grow older, I am no longer that lively, cheerful and lovely little girl. I think you don't know me anymore, and you're getting more and more strange. None of you know what I want. I long for freedom and hope to be understood. For example, my mother asked me to learn violin, English, dance, calligraphy, painting, Chinese painting and guzheng, and so on. My mother has taught me dance, painting and calligraphy, and now she is learning Chinese painting. And my father, you call me at least three times a day to remind me to recite English words, and go back to headquarters to do math homework on Saturday and let me do math problems at the back of the book. I know you do it for my own good, but I don't necessarily like everything, especially violin and English. I don't want to learn. I am really distressed, I am not a learning machine.

Mom and Dad, I have grown up and my personality has changed. I really need someone to understand me, especially you. When I was a child, I was very attached to you. I have no secrets from you. You used to take the initiative to communicate with me. At that time, you kept laughing. Now that I've changed from passive to active, you have no time to talk to me. For example, I chatted with my mother last night, and my mother ignored me. Alas, why is this? I thought about it, but I still don't understand. Maybe I didn't do well in the exam? Maybe I didn't come home from school soon, or maybe I made my mother angry?

I used to be enthusiastic, but now I'm cold. I feel my heart is like a world of ice and snow. Even I was surprised. How did I become so fast? Even my dream when I grow up is to be a professional killer. I think: I am like this because no one understands me.

Now I am so strange to you. Maybe I have changed. I am not as naive as I was when I was a child. Maybe I have my own style. Maybe I have my own opinion. But anyway, I hope I can have someone who knows me.

Mom and dad, please, don't look at me with old eyes, don't ignore me, and don't make me learn this and that. I am not the child I was when I was a child. How I long for your understanding and respect.

I wish mom and dad good health and happiness every day.
