do u guys agree, adults ar always saying we should act our age, then when we do, they say we're trying to act older than we are, also they're always saying that we should tell them everything, cuz they understand, but then they always think we're over-reacting. also last but not least, they expect us to listen and accept wutever they say, and do wutevr they tell us to do, but they never seem to have the time of day for us. who here agree's with wut I just said? sry, ive just been thinkin about it lately... and thts what my parents are like, i love them... but still...

My parents are the same way. They just don't understand. I try to keep myself seperated from them. They don't understand me and i don't understand them. So we have actually came to descion that we will mind our own buisness. And we will give advice only when asked for. Don't get me wrong i love my parents and they love me. We do a lot of things as a family but when it comes to discussions and opinons we just don't agree with each other so we leave it like it is.

one thing i have come to start to understand is that our parents being older than us means they do know a lot more than we do, but it also means that they have so many more things going on in their lives...problems, issues. While you are young you are consumed with the things in your life, but when you are older you take on the things in your life and your families. Our parents are human and have just as many issues as we have and more. I know its hard. I'm 21, not that far from where you are and getting closer to where my parents are. We wont know what their life is like until we are their age...it gets more true everyday. SO in sum yes I am sure they do all those things and more, but they make mistakes, they have to deal with a lot, giving them respect only helps them get through those problems faster. Just be as helpful as you can. They need you too.

I think we just need to accept the fact that parents are parents and there isnt much else we can do about it. im married and moved out, but im only turning 21 this year. my parents are still trying to run my life at times and tell me what to do, but im used to it and just try and accept it. they tell you to act your age when your being immature, yet when you do act your age, they just cant accept how old your getting. they tell you to tell them everything becuase they want to know whats going on to protect you and its not always that they dont have the time of day for you, they just dont always understand you or know what to do. my mom told me i could always some to her about anything and when i did, sometimes she wouldnt talk to me for like weeks. just think though...someday you might be a parent, then it will all make sense to you. i used to say when i was younger that i would never be like my mom and dad were raising my brother and i, yet now that im older, i find myself thinking more and more like them. i recently saw a girl, probably no older then 11 or 12 and she had on the shortest skirt ever and was shopping with her mother. i said to my dad (i was at the mall with him for lunch) that if my daughter ever tried to buy a skirt like that id have to slap her (not literaly of course) and that as long as im buying her clothes i have a say in what she wears, yet i swore i would never be like that. just learn to love em for who they are...your mom and dad and realize that as much as you dont understand them, they probably understand you even less.

yeah, im 15, and I think I get what your saying. The awkward stage of being in between a child and an adult, its probably hard for your parents to know exactly how to treat you.

That's parental hypocrisy for you. Don't worry, you will possess that wonderful skill once you've become a parent yourself.
