Dear Amy,
I am sorry to hear that you don’t feel happy these days, because there are too many family rules at your home. In fact, there are also a lot of rules at my home and there are also lots of things I have to do. I can't go out on school nights, just like you. My father says I have to finish my homework first after getting home every school day. After dinner, I have to play the piano. I don't need to practice it on Tuesday and Friday nights. Because I must have dancing lessons on Tuesday and art lessons on Friday. It takes me an hour to practice playing it every time. After that, I have to spend twenty or thirty minutes reading a book. I have to go to bed before ten o'clock. I can't relax myself on weekends either. Because I have some extracurricular(课外的) classes, such as math and English. I can only go out with my friends on Saturday night, but I have to come back before a quarter to nine. But think about it, Amy. Parents make these rules to help us to be better. Maybe we will be more successful in the future because our parents are strict and we should be thankful to them. If you still feel bad, why not have a talk with either your mother or your father? I hope everything will be OK with you.
Yours,
Lisa
