I used not to like my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me. Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not， that weekend changed my life.

About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.

On Sunday， the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better， chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course， she didn’t have a choice.

This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life， and that sometimes we have to accept something， rather than complaining （抱怨）.

A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict （吸毒者） and how much she disliked her mother.

“I want a new mom，” she cried.

“Unluckily， you can’t have one，” the leader replied.

“You have to accept the mother that you have.”

This hit me hard. I realized that， for better or worse， my mom was my mom. I couldn’t choose another mom， but I could try to make the best of the situation.
