Mistakes
Growing up, you would never think of some of the mistakes you would create. There are some that are minor, and there are some that are life changing. However, you cannot dwell on those mistakes you have made, for it will hold you back from moving on. I was always taught 'Don't dwell on the past, live in the now, and focus on the future." It bugs me when parents and adults act like it's the end of the world if a teenager makes a mistake, not realizing that they were in our exact position not too long ago. It annoys me how they expect us to be perfect, but truth be told, they probably made some of the exact same mistakes we make today. They learned and moved on from it, so they should be more understanding as to what situations we are in and help us learn from it rather than get on us about how disappointed and upset they are towards us. Mistakes happen all the time at all ages, so I feel that it is unfair that we get the heat from our parents like we are supposed to be the closest thing to a god.

I agree that parents can be very hypocritical in the sense that they probably committed the same mistakes when they were our age, but we can't really blame our parents for always wanting the best for us. Our parents our trying to look out for us, but I agree that they really have to let us commit our own mistakes and learn from them the same way they did.
ReplyDeleteWhile it may seem like our parents our against us in reality they care about us very much. They just don't want you to make the same mistakes they did. That is one mistake they make though ironically is that they don't let us make our own mistakes. They don't give us the chance to learn from them.
