Recommended: Impact of low self - esteem

As I woke up I heard my phone ringing over and over. Frightened I asked, “What time is it?” He replied, “Ten O’clock, uh oh.” We both looked at each other in fear. I reached for my phone as the screen lit up with another call from mom. I answered and she told me she knew where I was and I had an hour to get my butt home. At that moment I knew I was caught and I knew my punishment would be a big one. We’ve all heard that saying “mom is always right.” Some would agree, some would strongly disagree, but personally I agree with it in almost any situation. Now I would never admit that to my mom because I like to think that I’m right ALL the time, but I know I’m not and I’ve learned many, many lessons trying to prove that I was right. Including this …show more content…

Once you find the right one you have to make sure your parents like them and if they don’t things could easily go bad. I had a parent, my dad, who worked at my school so unfortunately he knew everything about every kid and he picked whom I could and could not talk to most of the time. I ended up meeting this boy that I thought was just perfect. He was one of the best looking guys at school (in my opinion). I had heard some bad stuff about this guy so I was not going to tell my parents about him just yet. Instead, I decided I would just sneak around with him until I knew things were getting serious between us. So that’s exactly what I did and of course my parents caught me, they aren’t stupid they knew what was going on, and I ended up getting in a lot of …show more content…

Let’s just say it didn’t go well and my parents said I could not be with him nor see him, ever. They really didn’t give him a chance and I was falling in love with him so guess what I did? I continued seeing him, being with him, and sneaking around with him. I went a while without getting caught but after a few months of course my parents found out and of course I was in some deep trouble again.
My parents threatened to take some very valuable things out of my life. They told me if I continued with these actions I would not be able to cheer, see my friends, or even go to the same school! At the time I honestly thought they would never do such thing. Cheer was my life and I had some of the best friends I could ever ask for and I would lose both if I had to go to a different school. I pretty much ignored what my parents said and saw this boy anyway. My parents went through with their punishments they had

The trickiest parents tell their children how much they love them and shower each child with praises and gifts, but do not be fooled, parents are not being kind and thoughtful out of the goodness of their hearts.

    “Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.

    For example, if your significant other cheated on you and your parents found out about it and do not approve with you ever getting back with that person because of what they did. No matter how many times your parents tell you not to see nor communicate with that person, but you still want to be with them, at the end of the day you’re not going to care what your parents think or say about the situation because you think that they just do not understand or are just overreacting. You parents should work as mentors in your relationship; they should only give you their opinion on it but should not get in between. If you tell your parents that you and that other person are communicating or seeing each other again after what happened, the only thing that they are going to do is bash the other person because of the situation, but it won’t matter because if you want to be with that person you’re going to do what you want to do. Your decision is your decision, whether you get back with that person should only be yours and not your parents. If it works out then good for you, but if becomes another heartbreak then you and especially your parents should just take it as a lesson
