Well, I guess we all do, but I know for a fact that they do that so you can act responsibly. You don't do the work, you don't get the pay, that's what the real world is like. Parents aren't there to nag and hold you back from doing what you want to do, they're there to help you prepare for real life, the long road that awaits you once you finish high school. You're screwed for life if you ever drop out of school. Definitely not worth it, you would probably get a dead-end job if you drop out. I know this, but many other teenagers alike don't. Maybe they do, but they just don't believe it. I guess you can say I have the wisdom of an adult, so I want to do different things, but the only thing holding me back is my age. I want to start a business, invent stuff, you know, do things adults are capable of.
What I'm saying is, don't learn the hard way. Take my advice, do what you're told, finish school and go to college or university to be something you want to be, then the only thing holding you back is you, and if you do good, then nothing will hold you back. Once you're an adult, you can do anything.
Good luck.

As a mom I feel compelled to answer. Although I know from my own teenagers reactions that you will probably ignore me also. I'm not holding anything over your head. Life is full of consequences, good and bad. I'm just trying to make you responsible for the consequences you will face and help you avoid the mistakes I made at your age. I know you're smart, probably smarter than I am. What you lack is wisdom, which I have to some extent. There is value in what I have experienced and I want to share it with you, so you will make better choices than I did and experience better consequences. I want you to exceed me, to surpass me, to rise higher than I have. One day, when you are a billionaire, I hope that you will remember your parents, and maybe buy me a cabana in Hawaii, or somewhere tropical.

So just do the chores, seems like life would be easier. Kids think parents like being the azzholes...we don't. It would make life easy if the kids would just do what they are told til the age of 18...that's 18 years versus 70 80 or 90 years after us you get to do what the heck you want to do...think about it.

Oh yeah. Its sad to think its their only way to control you as a teen lol. Everytime I confront my mom about that she has nothing to say and tells me to quit back talking her. Its so funny how the only word they can come up with is "because" BUT NEVER AN ANSWER. I sometimes wonder if they even have an answer. HAHA but I love my mom anyways even though she thinks she can has all this control. She brought me into this world so I have to give her credit.

Don't you hate it when you work your a s s off to put clothes on your kids' backs, feed them, give them as much as you can and then all they do is complain because they actually have to GASP....HELP AROUND THE HOUSE? Give me a break. Stop being so ungrateful and just help out your parents when they ask!

just do your chores, it takes longer to complain than to actually do most things we complain about. parents have the right to hold things over your head-you have no idea what you did to your mommy when you were an evil little baby.

BUT, if you do what you are told, like your chores, thereby taking away anything they could "hold over your head"...
Now there's a concept!

I'll bet they think whiney ungrateful brats are annoying too. You could just do what you are told, and that would solve your problem and your folks.

Yes and that motivates me to be more and more independent as the days go on.
