I find it that, nowadays, children don't seem to appreciate their parents. They throw hissy fits just because their parents won't buy them a skateboard. What do I have to say to these children? Grow up.
Your parents do so much for you. I mean, my mom helps me in little ways, like ironing my shirts so I always have a pressed shirt to wear at school, or making my lunch. These little things are the things that string my life together, and I don't know what I would do without my parents!
Your parents support you unconditionally, no matter what you do. Even if you chose to be the garbage man, I'm sure they would learn to accept your job decision. It may not always seem like it, but your parents truly love you. When you're going through troubled times, your parents will always be there for you to talk to. You may not realize it, but your parents have sacrificed a lot for you. Before they had you, they had so many more freedoms! For example, my mom used to own a flower shop, but when she had me, she had to closer her shop because I needed her constant attention.
I hate it when teenagers talk to their parents in a petulant tone of voice. It just irritates the heck out of me because we should be looking up to our parents, not talking down to them. Sure, sometimes my teenage anger gets the best of me, but I feel bad after it and I apologize. I know some people who yell at their parents on a daily basis. :evil: I know, it's hard if you're a teenager, to control your mood swings, but at least
try.
Now, I'm sure there are some people out there with parents who are totally uncaring and abusive, but this post is targeted toward the people who do have loving parents that they don't appreciate -- AKA, most of the people at my school.
Most of the people I'm talking about in this post suffer from what I call the 'teenager syndrome' -- mood swings, hissy fits, and a constant angry tone of voice. Thankfully, most of the time, the teenager outgrows the teenager syndrome and begins to appreciate his parents. My brother, while being a total jerk at times, is slowly realizing how much our parents sacrifice for him.
Your parents shape who you are as a person. They sacrifice for you, and I think it's time that we show some respect for them. Our parents are only with us for a short period of our life, so we should do our best to cherish these moments.
