Let’s make ur city better tgether!
Dear Mr. Brwn,
My prblem is that I can’t get n with my family. Relatins between my parents have becme difficult. They fight a lt, and I dn’t like it at all. It’s the nly cmmunicatin they have. I dn’t knw if I shuld say anything t them abut this. When they argue, it’s really like a big, black clud hanging ver ur hme. Als, my elder brther is nt very nice t me. He always refuses t let me watch my favrite TV shw. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I dn’t think this is fair. At hme I always feel lnely and nervus. Is that nrmal? What can I d?
