Features: As parents, can you honestly ask yourself if you truly understand your child? To what extent does your child have the desire to confide in you? For the sake of your child, we worry endlessly, lose sleep—yet how do our children think? They pursue individuality, express themselves boldly, and value freedom. Our one-sided love and care might become obstacles for them. When we try our best to reason with them, yet they dismiss our words with indifference, what do we truly want? Perhaps nothing but the child's genuine thoughts. Are you here looking for your child? We dare not and cannot claim that this book will provide answers and methods for every specific problem, but one thing is certain: it can at least help you realize the mindset, demeanor, and attitude adults should possess when dealing with the complex issues of teenagers.
The book you are reading is an edited collection of one of Beijing People's Broadcasting Station's top ten brand programs, "Late Night Confessions" (Youth Edition). It can be said to gather the essence of the program over its six years of existence. The content is authentic, sincere, and deeply moving—making it hard to put down. This book is not about the absolute privacy of teenagers but rather a panoramic sketch of their adolescent years. The unfiltered youth declaration signifies no embellishment, genuine emotions, and straightforward honesty. It reflects the confusion and pain of teenagers growing up, as well as their laughter and insights after basking in the sun and weathering storms.
Isn’t youth like a ship? It battles the waves and surges forward in the rapids, bound to collide and run aground at times. But no matter what, no one can stop the pace of youth. One day, they will grow up; one day, they will overcome themselves and the storms. And this book is merely a footprint of their growth.
