I know that it can be weird and maybe even embarrassing for you as a teenager to cuddle with your little siblings and parents reading a book. However, look at it this way: you have the whole rest of the year to be in your room at night listening to music, however december only comes once a year. Besides, in just a few years you will be off to college and you won't get to do this anymore, this will be a memory of love for all of you.
Perhaps because you spend the nights in your room your parents feel like they're loosing you and thus want to spend more time with you. I know it seems lame but trust me, when you're in college doing your laundry on your own you're gonna miss your parents and their "lame" quirks so much.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
