Dear Gajendra,

     

               I'm very unhappy because my father has denied me to go on an outing with my close friends. They are going to a hillside bungalow which my friend's father has rented for three days. We are planning to go there during our coming holidays. My friend's father will guide us. If I go with them, I can enjoy the outing with my friends. But what has happened because of father, unfortunately, I'm going to tell you.

 

             Yesterday I requested my father but he immediately refused to let me go. What he objected to most was my spending the night there. He argued I was too young to stay away from home for so long. But I think he is getting unreasonable. My friend's father will be staying with us. We won't be alone. In fact, my father doesnot need to worry about it, does he ? in my opinion, my father is being unfair because when he wants me to do something then I'm mature enough; but when he objects to something then I'm too young. It isn't fair, is it ? last year, he compelled me to join the national library without his help. He told me,"you are big enough to do it; you are not a child now." Then I requested him to guide me there but he told me, "you can go there alone," but now he says I'm too young to stay away from home.

      

            Now I'm mentally tortured. What should I do ? he is being completely unfair please advise me what I should do and how I can convince my father. If it is possible, please convince my father talking on the phone or come to our residence. I do hope you can convince my father.

                    

                                           Hoping favourable response from you.

                                                                                                                                 Yours truly,

                                                                                                                                     Anisha

My dear nephew,

              I was sad when t went through your letter. I've understood your papa has denied you to go on an outing with your friends, it is his weakness I think. I'm going to write a few words. I hope you will try to understand them deeply, won't you ?

              

              Parents always think their children should not bear any risk. Your father perhaps thinks that you will be unsafe if you are far from him for a long duration. Perhaps he loves you more. If you are strongly willing to go on an outing, you'd better request your father to manage it. I think an outing is not the most important thing for you because you have already gone several times before. I think you'd better cope with your father about it. It is said every problem brings its hidden solution with it. You have told that your father isn't fair but I think it is not so completely. Try to enter your father's heart. When he compelled you to go to the national.

             

              Library alone, he perhaps wanted you to make you able to do anything with reference to you study. On the other hand, he wanted you not to go with your friend's father. As you said your friend's father has rented a bungalow, but not your father had done. Your father perhaps thought it is not fair and reasonable to send you there with them.

             

             Try to cope with the situation. I hope you are trying to do it. You'd better mange an outing according to your father's instructions. I hope you will ba able to cope with the problem. How about asking your mother to manage it ?

Yours,

Ramesh
