Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they wear, the music they enjoy and something 42 . But they don’t mean to cause any trouble. They just feel that 43 this way they can be cut off from the old people’s world and they want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents don’t like their music or clothes or their way of speech, the young people feel very sad. Sometimes instead of going out with their parents, they just want to stay at home 44 and do what they like.
If you plan to do something, you’d better win your parents over and get them to understand you. 45, your parents will certainly let you do what you want to do.

Then they just might say, “yes”.
