I'm currently working on a report on how respect does not seem to be valued like it once was and was looking for the opinions of parents on the manner part of this subject.
Dear Online Concerned Parents,
It has come to my understanding that in dealing with my parents when it came to computer games that there was a lack of knowledge and a need for concern. My parents, like many others out there, had no idea why I was staying up late...
