"Home sweet home". This familiar saying expresess a sentiment that now a days seems hopelessly outmoded. Unrelenting family conflicts turn many homes into veritable battlefields and a yawning communication gap thta often frustrates any attempt at a calling turce.

One way is by nastering few bible principles, there is so much you can do to contribute to the peace of your home. Misunderstanding betwwen the family memebers is one of the aspects that ruin a strong family ties.Why don't my parents understand me?I am neither the first nor last youth to ask such question. However when we raise these basic issues, we are often baraged by conflicting answers. Our parents are always the one that keeps the rules in your house that sometimes make us feel irked. "Honor your Mother and FAther". To many teenagers, these words sound like something out of the DArk Ages. One of this teens was Katleen, my neighborhood that opened a rebellion against her father by dating a boy who abused drugs and alcohol. Defiantly, she would also go out dancing till the earl morning hours. She felt her father was so strict. Katleen was 18 years old and thought she knew it all. She felt his father was so mean and just didn't want him to have a good time, so Katleen went out and did what she wanted to do. Many people would probably disapprove Katleen's actions. Yet if our parents ordered us to clean our rooms, do our homework or be hone in a certain hour, we would often seeth with resentment or even worse and openly defy our parents!How we view them,though, can ultimately mean not only the difference between war and peace at home but also our very own life. Our parents don't understand our feelings, our moods and the pressure in our studies. They madeour day worst by their never ending cermons that would hardly kill our ears. But we shouild also bear in ourminds that they are concerned about us. We should never turn our backs to our parents because for only a simple misunderstanding it could ruin a strong family ties.From a 'home sweet home" to a "home like hell". Nobody cares with each other. I know not one of us want to go home with flying plates. So everyone in the family should fill their home with love and care "A Home Sweet Home".
