Question

and my dad does say someing about god gave me gifts and I should not wast them what should I do tell me what I should say PLEASE!!!!!!

Answer 1

If they don't controll your life, then someone else might. I mean that you still need guidelines and very strong ones to stand firm when you grow older and confront the world on your own. When you get to college you'll learn how the media, and top industries actually control millions of people using simple pshycology. For example: Try making a list of where you get your definitions for beauty, normal, acceptable, noacceptable, love, etc. If most of it comes from what you and your friends see on tv: That's a perfect example of the top industries controling your feelings and ideas. Wait a little more, be patient. By the time you become an independent adult you'll wish to have the problems you have now instead of the ones you'll be confronting by then. Dealing with your parents lovingly is one more exercise to prepare you for your life ahead. Sometimes we keep getting the same test in life until whe pass it.

Answer 2

No points coming here, but I'd advise you to say "Yes, Dad, I see that you are right." Has he said anything to you about learning to spell and type? C'mon, parents really aren't ogres. We really do have your best interests at heart. You'll figure that out someday. When you do, be sure to tell him. It is the greatest day of a parent's life.

Answer 3

There's not much to say. They clothe you, feed you, and shelter you. They get to make the rules and you get to follow them until you move out.

If they didn't control your life and encourage you to use what talents you have, what would you become??

Maybe you should try listening to them for awhile. I bet it'll make things easier for everyone. You have plenty of time to do whatever you choose once you move out, but until then, try to get along with your parents. If they didn't love you, they wouldn't care.

Answer 4

Love being 14 someday youll wish you were back to Mom & Dad telling u what to do

Answer 5

Well, if your "gifts" are some kind of talent you have, like with an instrument or something, and you don't want to play it anymore, just tell him "Dad, I don't want to play the ____ anymore". Maybe you have something else you are interested in doing- if so, tell him about it.

Answer 6

YOU ARE STILL A CHILD AND YOUR PARENTS SHOULD BE GUIDING YOU TO HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES. YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THEM AND NOT FIGHT IT. NOW IF YOU THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD BE MORE LENIENT ABOUT, TRY TALKING TO YOUR PARENTS WHEN YOU HAVE FAMILY TIME AND EXPRESS TAHT YOU ARE GETTING OLDER AND WANT MORE FREEDOM. BUT UNDERSTAND THAT IF THEY DO NOT GIVE YOU THIS FREEDOM THEN YOU WAIT TILL THEY FEEL THE TIMEIS RIGHT TO NOT CONTROL YOUR LIFE. EVEN IF THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL YOU'RE 18TH BIRTHDAY.

Answer 7

You can certainly talk to them about how you feel, but honestly, until you move out of their house, they can and should tell you how to behave and what is best for you.

Answer 8

OH the tragedy... Well are we women or what GEEZ
LOU-EASY there kemosabe....Sorry boo-boo
Your 14 I think your parents know what's right for you and until your 18 I would avoid thinking of just the rules and realizing why the rules are there for........................................

Answer 9

Tell him to go jump off a cliff.

Answer 10

here's what you should say .... "OK Mom and Dad...." - that's it - YOU'RE ONLY 14 - it's their job to control what you can and cannot do
