Question

As a teenager，I had a lot of anger and was not good at communicating with my parents.

One day，when I was getting ready for school，my mother handed me a T­shirt.It was my father's，not mine.At that time，I was taller and stronger than my father.So when I put the T­shirt on，I felt like I was being choked(窒息) in it！I realized that it was a small mistake by my mother，but the feeling of being choked made me very angry.Without thinking，I ripped(撕破) the T­shirt!

Later，my mother told my father what had happened，“See what your son has done.” Instead of scolding me，my father asked my mother to repair the T­shirt.He then wore it to work the next day.He spent the whole day wearing a ripped T­shirt.

When my mother told me what my father did，I felt sorry about what I had done.At the same time，I was filled with great admiration(钦佩) for my father.His kindness taught me a life lesson I would never forget.On that day，I made a decision that I would never let anger beat me.
