I have a brother who is three years younger than me. When he was a teenager, his school learning is a headache for the whole family. He is clever and good at sociality. He is just not the kind makes his credit wonderful at school. His behaviour at school had triggered a lot of problems later in daily life. One of them is my mum’s trust. But I believe that he should never do things, which is humiliated. I clearly remember it happened in a sunny day in the afternoon after we came back from high school. My mum was in bad temper because she found the changes in the plate disappeared and was sure that my brother took it. Of course, he denied it and insisted his innocence. We had a furious quarrel and I was on my brother’s side. I trusted him, because of the feeling from his voice and the look on his face, which was so similar to mine when I was unfairly treated and identified as someone took a pair of earrings at the age of 10. I shouted to my mum why not trust your own son. (my cousin lived in my home temporally.) Several years later, I referred it again and my brother said it was not he took the several bucks.

I think that many teenagers; especially those teenagers out of control have experienced this kind of things. They lost parents’ trust to some extend. Without trust, relations between parents and children are always in a vicious circle. Children don’t open their heart to parents and parents feel disappointed day by day. Parents are too busy and are always caught up in too many annoyed things. They sometimes have no patience to listen to our explanations. They judge it on the basis of the previous behaviour teenagers have done.

Actually, trust is the force that makes us move forwards. It means concerning and encouragement. It is always simulative. It sets up equality and respect between parents and children. Always keep in mind that parents should be the first and most reliable friends children can count on.
