2．    When we're in trouble，we always ask our parents for help.But would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground？Social networking sites have become extensions（延伸） of the school hallways，so would you add your parents as"friends"and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends？
    In the past the generation gap included a technology gap，where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind，content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they didn't need to know more about technology.However，many parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives.This realization has given many parents the motivation（動(dòng)機(jī)） to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them，there's also a amount of control over privacy（隱私） that we don't get in real life.Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated（違背） when we must accept a"friend"request from family members.
    It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow parents to become a part of our online lives.Sometimes we don't want to"refuse"their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide.But if you do accept，then you will feel yourself being watched and no longer feel free to communicate the way you did before.
    A survey suggested parents shouldn't take it personally if their children overlook（忽略） their requests.When a teenager overlooks a parent's friend request，it doesn't necessarily mean that he is hiding something，but it means that he wants to be independent.
    Perhaps talking with parents and explaining would help soften the blow if you choose not to add them to your friend list.

3．Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education.Therefore，they choose not to go to college.If you're one of them，think again.Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
   Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge.We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation.More knowledge will be gained after you start working，but without education，that job will not be within easy reach.Knowledge leads to knowledge.
   While limited within the walls of the educational places，we openly explore other cultures of the world!We come to know that ours is not the only culture.Other cultures have valuable things to share，enriching our own.Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures，getting more experience.
   When there's a recession in the economy（經(jīng)濟(jì)），those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set.The more education you have，the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
   When you're skillful and knowledgeable，you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes.It means a good education leads to excellent networking.Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
