Duane stands in a colourful TV studio. A red screen behind him reads "Help Zone." He is in his mid-twenties, clean-shaven with short black hair. He wears a blue T-shirt.

Holding a white folder that reads Family," Duane says HEY TVOKIDS, COUNSELLOR DUANE
FROM KIDS HELP PHONE
WITH AN E-MAIL
FROM CRISTY
WHO'S,WRITING
TO US FROM NORTH YORK.
AND SHE WRITES:

He reads MY PARENTS GOT DIVORCED
AND I WANT MY OLD LIFE BACK
THE RULES IN MY FAMILY
ARE NOT FAIR
HOW CAN I CHANGE THEM?

He says WELL CRISTY THAT'S
AN EXCELLENT QUESTION
AND KEEP IN MIND THAT EVERY
HOUSEHOLD HAS THERE
OWN SET OF RULES
AND USUALLY THE ADULTS
THAT LIVE IN THAT HOUSEHOLD
PLAY A ROLE IN
MAKING THOSE RULES
THE OTHER THING THAT
YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS FEEL
IS THAT USUALLY THOSE RULES ARE
PUT IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE
SAFETY,CARE AND WELL-BEING
OF THE KIDS WHO
LIVE IN THE HOME
SO,YOU MAY NOT LIKE EVERY RULE
YOU MAY NOT
UNDERSTAND EVERY RULE
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT
OPENING UP THAT DISCUSSION
WITH YOUR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS
AROUND WHY THAT RULE EXISTS?,
HOW IT BENEFITS THE HOUSEHOLD?,
AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S
ANY ROOM FOR CHANGE.
KEEP IN MIND THAT AS YOU GET
OLDER,SOME OF THE RULES
MAY BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS
OR BETTER FOR YOU
YOU JUST MAY NOT JUST QUITE
UNDERSTAND WHY THEY EXIST
AND SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO OPEN
UP THAT CONVERSATION
I'M GLAD YOU SENT US THIS EMAIL
IT SHOWS YOU HAVE THE SKILLS
TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP THAT
CONVERSATION,
AND I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS
RESPONSE TO BE HELPFUL.

He smiles.
