Just to clear the air.
People say teens are some of the most misunderstood people in the world, We are expected to act like adults, yet we’re treated like children. SO, I thought I’d right this post to explain to our parents how crazy they really are, and explain our reasoning for the decisions we make that may or may not seem crazy to you.
You may think we make bad choices, we have no respect for you, we don’t think about the future, we do all this bad stuff…but that’s bull. This may not be for all teenagers, but most really do respect their parents. We look up to you, even if we don’t show it. When we mess up, you shouldn’t get mad, you should make sure we learn from it. Make sure we don’t do it again, because that’s all we really want. When you get mad at us, it may be because you love us, and want the best for us, but that’s not how we take it. We just think to ourselves “Wow. They don’t understand” So, to prevent not having a good relationship with your kid, just listen. Get mad at yourself, not them, because children are a reflection of their parents, so whatever you have taught them is what they’re going to do in life. If you smoke, they’re probably going to smoke. If you abuse your wife, they probably will too. You can’t keep using the excuse “Do as I say, not as I do.” because that doesn’t teach us anythng, it teaches us that you don’t care, and that you are a hypocrites.
