After seating myself in my room, I noticed a note stuck to my monitor. It read, "Don't 1 your computer. You stayed up until midnight doing your homework last night. —Mom. "I 2 the note into the wastebasket. "Why do they care? "I thought. "They're 3 here anyway. "
Right after high school started, I almost lost contact(联系)with my parents. Because of all their business trips, they asked the 4 to look after me. Of course, the neighbors didn't do such a(n) 5 job, as they had kids of their own to worry about. The only way of 6 between my parents and me was through the notes.
After spending about eight hours away from home, I usually came home to find the house 7 empty. It made me sad. I would like to come home from school to be welcomed by someone, 8 I had no one to talk to and was watched over by my neighbors. That was why I started 9 more clubs and staying outside after school more often. Luckily, at school, my friends were there 10 me. They were all there to give me a 11 or talk with me when I wanted to talk. I felt great when I was at school. However, something was still missing—my parents.
Now I realize that 12 can take the place of my parents. I wish that they would be there at home, 13 me to come back from school. I wish that they actually had a(n) 14 to understand me. I want them to understand that they're my parents and I'm their kid and I need 15 .
