Dear Ate Anna,

We came to Canada about two years ago. We are still adjusting to this country and many things are new to us. My son is a teenager and he has adapted very fast; now he speaks and talks like his Canadian friends. Sometimes he gives me headaches. The other day, he went out with his friends and I told him not to come home late. But he talked back: “Mom, chill out! This is Canada. I am free to do what I want.” Ate Anna, I am frustrated and feel hurt. I want him to be safe. I want to be a good parent. What can I do?
