Hi...
I am a parent.. and have answered many a question, comment or concern from teenagers on here about their parents. While I agree, many are going to pay for the unfairness.. there are just as many teens who will pay for not listening to their parents.
Teen pregnacy rate is up.. so.. Me as a parent says.. don't have sex until you are much older.. teen goes and does it anyway..
Teen's drinking and doing drugs is up... well.. so is HIV, STD and AIDS..
We say things for a reason.. do we want to hurt your feelings? No.. As I have said many times.. our jobs are to protect, provide, secure, teach and remind.
If a parent smokes and they tell you not to.. you call it hypocritical.. if your parents had you at a young age.. et, right out of high school you call them hypocritical.. No.. we are not.. we have made our mistakes and are trying to prevent you all from making the same ones..
Many parents have so much to teach our teenagers.. and sometimes the words come out wrong.. or the teens hear only the bad part.. like.. No.. you cannot go to that unchaparoned party.. not the reason why.. just the thought of you missing out of the biggest party in your life is enough to make you hate your parents.. I wonder how many of you thanked your parents for saying no after you heard that there was a drug bust there.. or the police arrested all the under aged drinkers.. or low and behold.. one of your friends either got pregnant.. or got a girl pregnant..
None...
And I bet there is at least 2 to 5 of you that knows of one party where something like one of those things happened.
We may not always be right.. and we may not always be fair.. but our hearts are in the right place.

i might ought to declare who the hell are you to come back to a decision being there isn't any data to back up atheists ideals besides as Christian ideals. it is all a count of religion on the two factors. apart from, elevating infants is an completely diverse difficulty as faith purely tackles one small factor of existence for a kin. some families are gothic, some are activities geared, some are books clever etc etc etc and those style of features the mothers and fathers do would be indoctrinated into their infants no count if the youngsters have say or no longer. it is why some enhance up doing the "kin" corporation. My factor is who're you or fairly slightly boastful to think of which you will tell any kin that the way they are elevating their infants are incorrect. finally, have you ever met any youngsters? young human beings have a suggestions of their very very own and generally spend countless time rebelling against their mothers and fathers and a few against any authority figures what so ever. There are extremists on all factors and specific each and all the extremists want some extreme help, yet back it is on all factors. Even the main suitable families with staggering morals, values, etc no count if non secular or no longer have their honest share of issues while elevating infants and each so often issues do no longer consistently prove the way one expects. Oh, and Hitler grow to be purely born right into a catholic kin yet as lots of you have grew to become to atheism so did Hitler. So I agree nonreligious human beings are not to any extent further useful then the Hitler youngsters. ***human beings have outcomes to any crimes and are properly-known reckoning on their crimes of those outcomes- what's the version?? are not those too threats in simple terms as many say that some Christians declare or threaten hell.

A lot of times it is just things that they heard from their own parents and they don't know any better. My dad was abused by his alcoholic dad as was his brothers and sisters, and my mom's dad was a gruff ogre. My mom treated us kids the same way she was treated. She was never really the confort you if you fell kind of mom. If we cried about something she would tell us to get up or she would give us something to really cry about. I don't hate her, but she makes me angry and my husband does not really want our son around her much because of the way she treated us, but I think I am a much stronger person because of what I went through as a kid. The last 5 years have been really rough, with miscarriages, late term pregnancy loss and the premature birth of our son, and if I was not a strong person I would have given up a long time ago. I'm not saying people should not comfort their kids, but over-coddling is not good for them either.

Parent's don't have the right to verbally abuse their children. Its harmful in so many ways that even grown adults in their elder years still remember if their parents called them worthless and stupid. However, sometimes hearing the truth hurts ones feelings, so if your folks are simply telling you the truth about something, like if you keep fooling around on Yahoo Answers instead of doing your homework and you flunk out of school you will never amount to anything, then it might just be something you don't want to hear.
If they are truly being abusive, you have to decide if it will escalate in violence if you call them on it. Confide in another adult you trust if you cannot approach them safely.
Good luck to you.

Some parents abuse authority and often end up paying through their nose, when the kids grow up. Very unfortunate (for both parents and kids) for such situations to occur. Blame it, on lack of parental foresight. Some social policing and/or adult education classes, replete with case-studies, could minimize these unwanted situations.

Most parents do not abuse their authority, and once you come of age, you'll realize, although it may seem a superstition to you now, that your parents, afterall, were correct about 95% of the things they said.

I think that sometimes, we all need to give our parents a little break.... after all, they were once saying the same thing! Sure, they're from a totally different time than us, but they do know what they're talking about, and its wise just not to tick them off. just respect authority, and it will all be fine

Yes, to a point. Some things they are correct about may hurt your feelings, but hey, that's life. Sometimes, yes, they do step out of line and hurt your feelings, but they should usually apologize. My friend's father cussed her out for an entire year before he came to his sinces and apologized. She was getting ready to claim emotional abuse, but he stopped just in time.
If you think they're getting out of hand perhaps you could seek help, and they can tell you what they think of your situation, prehaps as someone outword, working and looking in?

Most of the time they are trying to protect you. It may seem unfair to you because you are still young, but once you grow up, you will understand.

Sadly, I think that most parents dont consciously do so. They probably feel that its the best thing.
