 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them.They have always complained，more or less justly，that they are possessive and dominant;that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis;that they talk too much about certain problems--and that they have no sense of humor，at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles，in enter-tainers and music.This is not their motive.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet accepted.So they create a culture and society of their own.Then，if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents，this gives them additional enjoyment.The feel they are superior，at least in a small way，and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant，and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do.If they did approve，it looks as if you are betraying your own age group.But in that case，you are assuming that you are the underdog(劣势者)：you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor.This is passive way of looking at things.It is natural enough after long years of childhood，when you were completely under your parents’contr01.But it ignores the fact that you are nOW beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life，cooperation can be part of that plan.You can impress others，especially your parents，into doing things the way you want.You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative，so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident，not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion，happiness and security.As a result，they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a livin9.Some stay long at a job and learn to like it;others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them.The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that.offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution.Nearly all grope(摸索)in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like.They never bother to think whether they are suited for the iob or，even more important，whether the job suits them.Having a job is more than merely providing yourseff and your dependants with daily bread and.some money for leisure and entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and，in many ways，determines social status in life，selection of friends，leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will you're your interest.Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest，for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin you talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck and a bitter person.
