When I was a teenager, I went to Brittany with my parents. We lived in a lovely house, and the weather was great. But I was 17, and I didn’t want to be on holiday with my parents. I wanted to be with my friends. We went to the beach every day and we went to a wonderful seafood restaurant for my birthday. But I was not happy. What really made me angry was that my parents let my older sister, who was 19, go to Spain with her friends. Gabriela, 28

We booked (预订) a 10-day holiday in Stockholm, and the temperature there in the summer is normally about 20OC. But when we got to Stockholm, it was 35OC! We didn’t want to go shopping or visit museums or do anything — we were too hot. We just sat in hotels and argued all day. We didn’t need to go to Sweden to do that! Olivia, 26
