Read the situation below. How would you respond to each situation if you
were the one involved?

1.) My parents are very strict. They don’t allow me to go out with friends.

Strict parents are concern for the welfare of their children considering the fact
that the environment today is not totally safe, we as their children should obey
and follow their orders if it's for our safety. Going outside with friends is very fun
and enthusiastic but their are instances that may lead to harm and bad
happenings causing trouble that will make our parents worried and stressed. We
can't predict what may happen in the long run so our parents are making
themselves conservative to safeguard us. With this, I will personally tell my
parents that I will follow them if it's for my safety and good.

2.) My parents are planning to separate because they don’t seem to love each
other anymore.

Sometimes love gives us a rocky road to forever because of misunderstandings

and unsatisfaction, but hope is the best virtue to equate our challenges. If my
parents plan to separate because they don't seem to love each other, me and my
sister as the fruit of their love will bridge them together again through reaching
out with them, hang out together as a family, bringing back the good old days,
and share the fire of love to their hearts. In these way they will regain their love
for each other united in the blessing of their marriage.

3.) Our parents could not send all of us to school because we are poor. I have
to work to finish my studies.
As the quote says, Poverty is not a hindrance to success. If we are placed for being
poor, I will find means of having money to help myself and my family not to
suffer from poverty. I actually do some sidelines and business on my God-given
talents like decorating on some special occasions, praying for the dead, garden
landscaping, hosting and etc. which allowed money to enter in my pocket. I am
raised with a family whose income is enough for us to be provided with basic
needs, it's really hard for me to live with this lifestyle so I worked hard and
developed my skills to generate at least small incomes that will help my parents
in our daily needs and wants.

4.) I learned that my mother is pregnant. It will be the 7th child in the family
and we are not rich.

Life is a victorious gift formed through love and mutual feelings. If I knew that
my mother is pregnant, bearing the 7th child in our family considering the fact
that we are not rich, I will tell my mother to have it as her last child. The baby is
unconscious and innocent of what happen, we should obtain mercy and
compassion to the unborn. The baby inside the womb should never be aborted
even if we are poor enough to raise it, life is already there and we have no right
to take it away. Nevertheless, we as children of the family will assist our mother
in taking care of the baby and help our father in doing some works or applying
for a job that will help our family in a financial way.

5.) I saw my father eating with another woman in a restaurant. They were
very intimate.

If I saw my father eating with another woman in a restaurant and they were very
intimate, I will try to ask my father in a private way to clarify the issue on my
mind. I will ask him who was the girl she was dating on the said restaurant and
why they we're very intimate to clear everything.

EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING QUOTATIONS:

1.) No matter what you’ve done for yourself or for humanity, if you can’t
look back on having given love and attention to you your own family, what
have you really accomplished?
If we don't look back to our family we are dishonoring their love and connection
to our life, because in the very first place our family was once the giver of
guidance and discipline that safeguards us and made ourselves of who we are
today. Though there are good and bad in the family we should always think that
they are still God's gift for us in order for us to learn from their perspectives and
teachings.

2.) Trouble and failure are permanent part of life. They are not, however, a
good gauge to measure your marriage by.

Life is full of ups and downs. But as we observe, we are pampered with
challenges that usually end ourselves in troubles and failures. Problems are
constant but its up to us on how to deal with it, be it positive or negative what we
always priotize is making solutions in a very quick and easy way. We should not
bear this until marriage because this may affect our relationship with our
partner and wilk end up in having a weak relationship. This can sometimes
measure the marriage the two lovers commit for and will experience
miscommunication and etc.

3.) There is no such thing as the perfect family. Every family is unique with
its own combination of strengths and weaknesses.

A family is anticipated with love, started with love, and composed of love. I
personally believe on the idealism that there is no such thing as the perfect
family because similarities and differences made our family unique combined
with it's strength and weaknesses. But despite all the odds, a family will always
remain a family, though there is no perfect family but there is a good and better
family which made people more hopeful to establish a family that is filled with
goodness and adjustments.

4.) If you allow bad material into your home, you can expect negative result.

Negative results only came from a negative foundation this means that that bad
things is expected to happen if we give entry to bad materials that will only cause
bad events. This quotation is very timely and relevant in our world today
knowing that their are families who are not oriented on establishing positive
impacts at home leading to miscommunication and negative results.
