Dear Brad ,
I am a boy in the first grades of a senior high school . I feel uneasily recently . At home I feel like prisoner . I am not allowed to watch TV or surf the Internet . The only thing I have to do it is studying . Every time I got a low mark , my parents will scold me sharply . There's a generation gap among my parents and me , but it's always difficult to communicate . Life are supposed to be colorful and wonderful , isn't it ? How should I devote all my time and energy to the study so as to entering a good university ? I am very unhappy and lost. I need your help .
Best wishes,
Li Ping

Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 1. . Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?
2. . With whom will you share things that you don’t want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself.

Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. 4. .
