Teens always believes / believed that our moms want us to be looked up at home . That 's not always the case . Wanting to go to my best friend 's birthday party , I did all my chores that were assigned to me and I was on my best behavior . I did all my duties , so my mom would give me permission to go out that Saturday night . Once I had finished everything I had to do , I had gone up to my room . I called my best friend and we started to talk about how amazing the party was going to be , how all the people we liked were going to be there , and how great the night was going to be if I would go . Once I had hung up on her , I started to get ready to go . My mom walked in the room and asked me who I was getting ready to go out . I had mentioned the party weeks ago , . So she clearly had forgotten about it and was asking me the same questions as she always does when I want to go out somewhere . When I had finished answering all the questions again , she had looked at me , and calmly but with a big smile on her face she told me " You 're not going to that party and that 's final . And if I catch you sneaking out , you 're in more trouble . You will be grounded for a whole month . " Dang I wouldn 't be able to go a whole month being grounded . I couldn 't go a whole month without my phone . Since my best friend was in college and I was in high school , texting and phone calls were the only way we were able to plan our girls ' night out . Since they said no I thought the more that I bugged them I would be able to convince them to say yes . I keep walking by my parent 's room , playing around with them , bugging them ever second , and asking them if they needed anything . So they would notice that I was being good . Jumping on their bed...

Just the thought and fact that I was close to just going made me cry . But the first thing I thought was that thanks to my mom I was alive . Once I had gotten home I was crying my eyes out . I went to my mom and thanked her for knowing that it was a bad idea to go out . They only thing I was able to say was " mothering do know the best for their children " .

They want us to be successful in our life . I learned that our parents have a feeling in there gut or heart when things will go bad and we should respect their decisions even though we disagree with them .
...e the money to pay for my lesson and attire, so they pulled me out of the activity. I was angry at her for that and assumed she didn’t understand how it felt to have something that you love be taken away from you, when in fact she knew all to well. I found out so much about my mother and came to accept that even though she did not do all the right things with raising me, or the things I thought she should have done she did her best and I grew up to be a very respectful, intelligent young lady.

I know I would have been, my parent let me make my own decision and let me do it the way I wanted to.

You don’t have your parents to look after you, to tell you right from wrong. By the time you go to college you are supposed to know the difference between right and wrong. You, as an adult, are expected to act like it. If you do something wrong there will be consequences and you are supposed to accept them. For example, if you did something wrong in high school your school would end up calling your parents; however, in college that doesn’t happen you need to deal with it. In college you have to be responsible to succeed. It’s all up to you in the
I yelled at them, ignored them, and occasionally did the opposite they told me too. At the time, I thought that made me better than them, but in the end, it got me nowhere. Soon I entered high school and my bratty preteen-self calmed down. However, my parents became stricter on my grades because there was a big milestone that would be coming up in a few years, getting accepted into college. My parents made it very clear that if I did not get a large scholarship to any university, I would have to go to the local community college. That was the last thing I wanted to happen, I wanted out of the house. I now had a strong incentive to do well in school. I wanted to be able to go out on my own and escape their tight grasp on me. I completed year after year, always making “A’s” in my classes. I soon climbed to the top of my school’s ranking system and was at the top of my class. Though, this did not matter to me, I wanted out of my house. At this point, I knew I was not disappointing my parents, they were as proud as can be with a daughter at the top of her class. This was the first time in my life that I felt as if my parents were generally proud of me and my accomplishments. I still however, felt guilty. Even though I was doing it for myself, I felt bad that I wanted to escape my parents. I did not hate them, I just could not stand being under their control
Parents need to understand that teens have a lot going on and will not always act the best. In the Article, “The Teenage Brain: Still Under Construction” by NIMH, the author says, “so much change is taking place underneath the surface may be something for parents to keep in mind during the ups and downs of adolescence.” Sometimes the parents really doesn’t get the teen and the parent needs to be okay
Like what i learned, what I had for lunch, what me and Peter Ann did, and other things alway. Some things that Peter Ann did bothered me. I told my mom and she said “play with other people and Peter Ann alony. Well, when I was that age I really did not listen to my mom that much and I keep on hanging around with Peter Ann.Now,it is the last day of school and my mom give me a choose to stay at University or I can go to Mount Vernon.
All they cared about was that I was owning up to them. They wanted us to have good grades but they were never there to support us when we were learning, but even if they would be I learned right away it's better to sit by yourself and try to understand then to have someone yell over you when you don't understand something. My parents still have a fixed mindset and especially my mom. I find it so funny to the point that it's pathetic she always talks about change but when my brother couldn't hold it in no more and yelled at her and said what she was really doing and that she was the one that needed to change she froze in time and said, “me?”. She was later talking to me and said, “I thought I was a good mom, I always work I always tried to make you happy I always bought you guys stuff”. Material items will never replace the love and care a child needs. There will never be enough phones, computers ,toys, i don't know you name it but there will never be enough of it to replace a love and kindness of a parent that a child needs. At that moment, I realized how she thought of herself. “The all right mother”. I did not respond anything because I knew that if I would I have to
...ound. So I always try to make everyone feel included, although I am still one of the more quiet people in the world. Lastly, my parents have taught me to work hard for the rewards that I gain. This has always been a major driving factor in my desire to do well with my schoolwork and in sports. I know that if I work hard enough I can do well and if I don’t get the results I want, it is no one’s fault except my own. With regards to drinking, I know that my parents would have been disappointed in me if I made the decision to start drinking in high school. When I take into account all the wonderful lessons they have taught me and all the love they have given me, it never made sense to make them unnecessarily upset. As cliché as these things sound, I honestly know that these morals have helped guide me through my life and helped me make the best decisions I could.

Sometimes we act instinctively and think our behavior is normal until we reflect on what we are doing. I was considered a troubled teen. Funny enough, no one seemed to ask why. Maybe you’re not like me and maybe you are. My parents, as great as they are (in their way) ways didn 't pay much if any attention to me growing up. They were busy trying to create ‘a better life us’. We all do the best we can with what we have. What they failed to realize was that they were missing some fundamentals that we needed. We didn 't need stuff, although who doesn 't like stuff. We needed them and their time and understanding.
While most parents realize there are normal struggles between parents and teens as their sons and daughters struggle for independence and identity, they are often shocked by the length and intensity of the conflict. They are stunned by apparent rejection of some of their most sacred values and confused by their teenagers "acting up" and "acting out." In attempting to become psychologically independent of their parents, teens often attempt to move completely away from any control or influence by their parents.
I grew up having more than the average kid. My parents bought me nice clothes, stereos, Nintendo games, mostly everything I needed and wanted. They supported me in everything I did. At that point in my life I was very involved with figure skating. I never cared how much of our money it took, or how much of my parents' time it occupied, all I thought about was the shiny new ice skates and frilly outfits I wanted. Along with my involvement in soccer, the two sports took most of my parents' time, and a good portion of their money. Growing up with such luxuries I began to take things for granted. I expected things, rather than being thankful for what I had and disregarded my parent's wishes, thinking only of myself. Apparently my parents recognized my behavior and began limiting my privileges. When I didn't get what I wanted I got upset and mad at my parents somehow blaming them for all my problems. Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't a bad kid, I just didn't know how else to act. I had never been exposed to anything less than what I had and didn't realize how good I had it.
