I understand what it feels like to not be able to explain to your mum how much something because she refuses to understand that life is not the same way it was when she was younger. It just gets frustrating when they expect you to think the way they think without giving thought to your feelings or emotions. Sometimes you feel “ahh I just hate my folks, can’t they see that they are ruining my life.”

     Truth be told, life gets harder for a parent when their child becomes a teenager, we tend to become curious, strong-headed, rebellious. We have feelings and want to be a part of something, we want to create a pace, and at that time the rest of our lives (doesn’t exist),we want to have fun, have experience, go wild, try things, make mistakes, learn(we want to have a life).But then our parents don’t understand how much we are growing. It’s like they don’t trust us to act as mature as they’ve taught us to. It’s like they expect us to be perfect and make no mistakes in life. They hold themselves responsible for our actions completely forgetting how different our idea about life is. I wish all parents would loosen up and accept who we want to be. Life would be much easier.
