Do you believe yur parents know hwat is best for you? I think they don't always know whats best for you. I think most parents do what their parents did to them. Personally I think we should do what we want. Parents are like peer pressure, they do as much as they can to get what they want (for the most part).
I should know they try to get us to do what they had to do. My father has tried for about 4 years to try to get me the same as him, selfish. Look what happened when he started doing what his father did. Now I'm over 100 miles away. I think parents should give us more choses unstead of their way or the highway.. My dad didn't have the right to hit me, but he thought since his father did it to him that he should do it to me....Well I've got news, I'm a different generation. I choose my path no one else, no matter how much peer pressure is on im doing what i want.
My father still thinks he knows best for me and who i should "love" or date. I hate to tell him, but i don't care for his opioion on who i should like or anything really for that matter. i think i should take it into consideration sometimes, but im not going to be close to being like him.
This is reality. Your parents only are guidelines. What they say don't always go. Learn to make your own distions before they kick you out. Learn to provide for yourself, because you never know when they might deside to boot you....So i think No, parents don't always know whats good for you.

Hmmm... another thought provoking blog. At first, I thought that I strongly disagreed with you, but you managed to change my opinion just a teeny weeny bit. So I agree with you to an extent. However, my situation is a little bit different than yours, which is why I don't think this question should be asked so generally ever day in the world. See, my parents are people that I trust and love, and I do believe they have a better idea of what's best for me than I do when it comes to most things just because they've experienced more, and they've lived longer. Plus, both my parents are independent people who have small traits from my grandparents (so I've heard... I never knew any of my grandparents that I can remember at least), they've made changes in the way they live and the way they raise their children.
ReplyDeleteHowever, sometimes I get frustrated because I feel like maybe they've forgotten what it FEELS like to be a teenager. Sometimes they treat things that are really bothering me so lightly that it hurts my feelings. Sometimes I wonder if they really understand why I feel the way I do and how much it is affecting me.
But, I love, honor, and respect my parents, so therefore I try everything I do to be obedient. I trust them so much, and I'm so blessed to have the parents I do. Yet, I realize that not everyone is as lucky as I am, but what I've found with people in general is that when you respect their opinions, most of the time they'll respect yours and eventually come to accept what you do.
