[00:00.00]You should have asked them if you should try

[00:03.42]out for the play in the first place!

[00:07.68]I disagree with you too,Yongqi.Let me tell you

[00:12.67]both why.Minghua,if you don't tell your parents

[00:16.23]anything,they will think that you're hiding

[00:18.93]something from them and they'll become

[00:21.81]suspicious and worried.

[00:23.53]They love you so they will try to find out what

[00:27.00]they think you're hiding and you will feel that

[00:30.40]your privacy is being invaded even more.

[00:33.40]Your relationship with your parents will worsen

[00:35.86]further and you will all be unhappy.

[00:39.60]Yongqi,your parents care about you very deeply

[00:43.89]but our parents' role in our lives is to help

[00:47.32]us become independent,caring individuals.

[00:50.98]They are here to guide us but not to make our

[00:53.74]decisions for us!

[00:56.37]OK,Yu Ming,I see what you mean.

[00:59.54]But how can I get my mum to stop asking me all

[01:02.65]these irritating questions?

[01:04.84]Well,have you thought if explaining to her in a

[01:08.58]really nice way that you feel pressured when

[01:11.59]she asks you about the play?

[01:14.40]She is probably just interested in what you are

[01:16.64]doing and is trying to let you know that

[01:18.80]she cares!

[01:20.22]Think about it-she doesn't want to make you

[01:23.42]feel irritated!
