So, what can we do about them?

Your parents aren 't saying nо to ____ you feel bad. They have their ____. So, listen to them. lf they don't give you an ____, ask them - politely! lt' s important to ____ why they' re saying 'no'. ____, you need to ____ why you're asking for something. Don't just say, for example: 'Can I have а new smartphone?' Give а ____ why: 'AII my friends have great phones and I ____ bad because mine is really ____. Also, I can't use а lot of ____ because my phone hasn't got enough ____.' When your parents understand why you're asking for something, the ____ of getting а positive ____ from them goes up! ____, you need to show that you ____ what you're asking for. lmagine that you ask for а new phone, but you're ____ all your ____ money on clothes. lt's not hard to predict your parents' reply!
