You'd better...
Why not.../Why don't you ...
Memorize these sentence structures when offering advice.
What are their problems
My parents won't listen.
I always feel lonely.
There is a girl I like in my class.
I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life. I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together I am sure he will listen to you, since you are his good friend.
What do you think of Susan's advice
I think you should talk to your friend and encourage him.

Dear Eric,
I feel sorry to learn that you have trouble in communicating with your parents. Such problem is quite normal for we teenagers. Perhaps the following suggestions will be of some help.
You’re supposed to know that your parents possibly won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them or if you fail to express yourself well. Therefore, be calm and patient to clearly make yourself understood. Besides, you can exchange your values to better understand what you care about and why, which will help to bridge your generation gap. (縮小代溝)
Hopefully, you will find my suggestions constructive.
Yours,
Li Hua
