Life's things, don't want to go home.

My cousin's daughter has always been very close with me, but lately she is busy with her studies and we can only meet once a week at most.Every time I see her, there are so many things to talk about: schoolmates, homework, family matters.

Little girl has lost weight recently, and doesn't have much appetite.She doesn't feel like eating because she didn't do well in the last exam. Not having an appetite is due to bad habits over a long time, and the food at home isn't to her taste either.

When I asked her why she was scolded by grandma for lunch, she said it's something you already know without asking.Grandma, mom, and dad only talk about studies or meals; they don't say anything else. But their talking is not a conversation but rather scolding.

She sighed and said, "I don't want to go home anymore."

……

The result of nagging and scolding: They feel no warmth at home, perhaps that's why she doesn't want to go back…
