1. I have a lot of comics and my friends often borrow them from me. I'm fine with that.
However, there is one friend who borrowed comics from me, but whenever she returned
them, my comics are terrible! They were torn, dirty and there were even some drawings
on one of them! To be honest, I don't like lending her my books, but I don't want her to
tell anything bad about me to other friends. That's the reason why I still keep lending her my comics.

Khoa is a 16-year-old high school student who loves spending time with his group of
friends after school. They usually go to the mall, play sports or video games, or just hang
out at each other's houses. However, Khoa's parents are becoming increasingly concerned
about his friends' behavior and influence on him. They've noticed that Khoa is staying out
later than usual, neglecting his school work, and acting more rebellious and disrespectful at home.
Khoa's parents have tried to talk to him about their concerns and suggest that he spend
less time with his friends or choose better friends, but Khoa resists their efforts. He
argues that his friends are cool and fun to be with, and that his parents are just being overprotective and boring.
The situation becomes more tense when Khoa's parents find out that some of his friends
have been caught smoking and shoplifting. They forbid Khoa from hanging out with
them and threaten to punish him if he disobeys. Khoa feels torn between his loyalty to his
friends and his respect for his parents' authority.
In this scenario, Khoa and his parents are facing a common problem of conflicting values
and priorities. Khoa wants to belong to his peer group and have fun, while his parents
want to protect him from negative influences and ensure his future success. It's not easy
for either side to compromise or understand each other's perspective, but communication
and empathy can help bridge the gap.
