Parents Know Best. Do they? The bad thing about parents being parents always think for whats best for us. They think for us, like we have no sense of judgement. They think for us, like we don't have a mind of our own. They think for us, like we are not individuals. They think for us as if we, the humans we are, have no right to choose our fate. On the other hand, they were the ones who raised us. They raised us like we are their most important part of their lives. They raised us like they couldn't live without us. They should have the right to tell us to do things. They should make decisions for us. They should do what parents are supposed to, to think of what's best for us. We might be too immature to them to make our own decisions. And its true teens these days are somewhat immature. Some of us make rash decisions like take drugs from irresponsible adults/teens. Some of us get into relationships that might change their lifestyles. Some of us paid the price with freedom or worse, death. Not getting what we want is always disappointing. Since teens are maturing each day, we usually overreact under these circumstances. We scream at our parents, we give them bad attitude, we might even be some sort of sadist and watch them suffer. Even so, our parents will always forgive us for our wrong doings.
Personally, I feel that my parents know me well. I get to talk to them everyday, they talk to me everyday, not those simple "Studied already?" or "Eaten already?" kind of conversation, we really spend time talking to each other about everything we want to talk about. I think many teens mistreat their parents because they haven't got to know them best yet, which would explain teens thinking that their parents are overprotective over them.
After all, how can we be the person we are now without the help of our parent's guidance?
