Dialogue:

- Well, Ken, if you ask me, there is too much to complain about being young. It can really be hard sometimes, especially when your parents hardly ever leave you alone.

- You’re telling me! I quite like my Mum and Dad, but they are always ready to criticise me.

- Oh, it’s really bad. Frankly, I’m having a big argument with my parents at the moment. I ask them to buy me a motorbike, but they say I can’ ride one.

- Although, sometimes it’s just the opposite. See, I’m 17. And I can join the army, right? But I’m not allowed to see war films, because they say they are too violent.

- That’s really unfair. Actually, when we go on a train or bus, we are adults. I have to pay full price for the ticket.

- I can understand how you feel. I can have a partr-time job and get some money.

- Hey, don’t talk about money. I don’t even have enough to cover my daily expenses. I can’t wait till I leave school and get a full-time job.

- Oh, no. That would really come as a shock for my parents, they want me to study further.
