Nowadays, children are much more tired than parents．They have to undergo(承受)a lot of pressure that comes from parents or teachers．
The expectations from the parents are very high．They want us to be a famous writer today, an excellent pianist tomorrow and an experienced managing director the other day．However, we children are in the stage of growing up so how can we meet all those expectations?How could we build Rome in a day?How could we be knowledgeable just in a short period?
But children have no choice．Parents seldom regard children as their friends．They just treat them as their property and put their own needs first．They ignore children’s feelings and wishes but care only for their own wishes or dreams．
Children are very young;they need guidance from their parents．However, parents misunderstand their children．They don’t communicate with their children．Parents always think that spoiling(伤害)children is what they called “understanding”．
Parents only give material things instead of understanding．Children and parents can hardly agree with one another．
We children are the earliest birds in the morning, waiting for school buses with few pedestrians(路人)around．Our parents can watch TV every night, chat with each other every day and go bowling every week．On the contrary, we have to recite our English, do our homework and play the piano day by day．
So who has the hardest life in the society?Who has more pressure?Who needs more understanding?We children need understanding from our parents．
