Why can't they just understand?

Everyone always said the teenage life is probably the most scariest time for a parent. When you born the first thing your parents thought was wow! I have a beautiful baby, they start thinking of all the good things and tend to forget the bad. While growing up I'm sure all of your parents thought that if they raised you in a good way, you'll be a very wise and independent adult. NOT! Haven't you notice that most of the well discipline children are probably the most naughtiest? I have, most of my friends may look like they never try this or never try that but they have.

The sad part about every teenager's life is the fact that most of thier parents don't trust them. Yes, the world is more dangerous than it was before, but that's life. You need to take risk, am not saying to let them out and let them do what they want,but if they ask you something and they tell you to trust them and let them do what they have to do I guarantee they will come back home safe and sound. Trust is probably the most important factor between a parent and their child, without trust thier wouldn't be that lovable fund a parent usually has.

Cut down on saying no to your child, I'm sure the only reason why you say no is because you been there and done that, but you have to let us do in order to learn from our mistakes. If you give your child your trust I'm sure if they were doing something you tried doing in the past they'll make sure they will not do it the same. Let us enjoy life while we still can, you never know what can happen in the next minute,hour,or day. We are young and full of life, free spirited,all a teenager wants is the support and trust from thier parents.

We are getting older, we are not your little princess anymore. You need to let us go and experience life. So that we are reday for the real world. In order for us to be strong we need to learn from our mistakes. Life is hard and it's only getting harder. In a teenagers life we have school, work,chores, it gets pretty stressful at times, so give us a break and let us have fun. It can be scary to say yes, but you need to trust us.

Teenagers don't take advantage of your parents. Most of the time the only reason why they say no is because they are thinking of you. Always keep in mind they care for you, yes they have a weird way of showing it but sorry to say, they know what they are doing. Talk to them and make them understand where you come from, and parents it's sometimes ok to bring up the past. Communication is probably another important factor in every teenager and parent life. Talk to one another and understand where you as a teenager and you as a parent is coming from.
