EditTips

  • Be calm when talking to your parents. They may see you're a bit concerned and that's not good for either of you.
  • Try to catch your parents when they're in a good mood, and aren't too busy/stressed.

EditWarnings

  • Parents are busy and may not always be open to listen. Approach the situation calmly and if you can, make it a short conversation.
