Since I went to middle school, I had told myself that I was not a little kid anymore. I needed to grow up. So the first thing is not to ask my parents for help at the first time. I should take some time to think about the difficulty¹ and then figure out the solution. If I ask my parents immediately, I will never be mature², as I always want to depend on them. But if I can’t solve the problem, I will turn to my friends for help. They can give me some advice and I will make my own judgement. At last, the suggestion from my parents won’t be ignored. It is the most useful.

自从我上了中学，我就告诉自己，我不再是一个小孩了。我需要成长。因此第一件事情就是不要第一时间向我的父母寻求帮助，我应该花一些时间思考困难所在，然后找出解决方案。如果我立刻向父母寻求帮助，我永远都不会长大，因为我总是想着依赖他们。但是如果我无法解决问题，我就会向我的朋友寻求帮助，他们可以给我建议，之后我会做出自己的判断。最后，来自父母的建议也不容忽视，因为那是最重要的。
