As I look back at my relationship with my parents, I realize that we have gone through an interesting cycle together. When I was a kid, my parents were everything to me, the smartest, most interesting, most loving people in the world. However, when I turned 13, there was a drastic change - I suddenly developed a very _______ _______ view of them. I thought, they were unreasonably strict. While I loved everything new in music, hairstyles, and clothes, they seemed boringly_______  __________, wanting everything to remain the same. Our conversations, which used to be so deep and satisfying, became_______  _________ chats. I felt as if I had nothing to say to them anymore. If we_______  _______(e)d a conversation for any length of time, I quickly lost patience with what I considered their silly, old-fashioned ideas. To my friends, I often_______  _______(e)d them as hopelessly out of touch with the modern world. But now, as I'm making the _______ _______ from my teen years  to adulthood, I've had to _______ _______ that I was wrong. My parents are the same patient, loving, wise people they always were. I see that I used them as_______ ______s for my own uncertainties and for problems  I had caused myself. I assumed they had their own agenda and would not listen to opinions different from their own. Now I know that I can_______  _________ my plans and dreams to them, and they will listen with respect. I hope I will never again let my own interests_______  _____ me from recognizing my parents' genuine love and concern for me.
