In the process of growing up, everyone hides some _________ from their parents. I’m also the one of them. I have hidden a couple of secrets from my parents, since they set many rules on me.

My parents ask me to go to bed _________ half past 10 every night. They also ask me to eat a whole _________ of rice with each meal. If I don’t do these things, I will give a month’s worth of pocket money to them. This makes me very _________.

In order to solve this problem, I have come up with a few solutions. I tried to talk with them, but they don’t _________ with me. They think that this way of life is good for me. It sounds reasonable, but they never stand in my shoes to see what I’m met with. Sometimes, I’m under a lot of _________ from my schoolwork, so I don’t want to sleep or eat anything. But they don’t _________ my feelings.

I know some parents like to keep their kids _________ their control. Nevertheless(然而), I think it is necessary to give kids some free space and let them grow up by _________. I hope my parents can _________ their requirements for me. I believe that after experiencing independence at school, I can take good care of myself.
