1. Contradictions and love between mother and daughter, women's changes and breakthroughs, pain is also a kind of inheritance, because of the differences caused by the times, neither mother nor daughter can express their love and understand each other's love. Feeling that she is not loved by her mother, she resents. The mother longs for the love of her daughter, but she is afraid that she is not a good mother and replaces care with strictness. The ancient problem still exists today, and every mother and daughter are probably very immersive.

2. Sense of self-worth and low self-esteem, lowering yourself in front of your lover, not understanding your own value, and constantly devaluing yourself makes both parties unable to be happy. Unequal love will only make both parties miserable. First of all, you must understand your own value and cherish your own. love, self-identity.

3. Expressing one's own needs, the tradition of Chinese people, being humble and courteous, taking care of others who wronged oneself, but expressing one's own needs and satisfying oneself is what people should learn the most. First, I will express my needs, knowing that my needs can be expressed and need to be satisfied, and then I will respect the old and love the young, and be willing to give up my needs because of love and kindness.

4. Thanks for the progress of society, the development of science, the rise of feminism. ?Ignorance is terrible. And, hopefully, sex education textbooks are back in the classroom.
