Ok I was thinking... why do parents make are own desisions? And when we protest they say "Grow up, your acting like a baby!" But when we do act "grown up" they treat us like babys? I mean, my Dad thinks he can read my mind...and thinks' he know's "what's best"... then he says "I'm not a mind reader!" And if I speak up and say my opinions. I'm "rude" or a "smart mouth". But they tell us to stand up for what we believe in and to voice are opinions! They procrastinate to much, and I'm sick of it. I want my Dad to leave me alone, and let me be myself. And let me grow up into a women... I won't unless he lets me try.
Anyone feel the same way? Or am I just a crazy teen with a bad mouth?

they have the right to make "some" of our descisions...... because sometimes we are wrong.lets not think that were always right and vise versa for the parents

Amaris- Lucky you. With my Dad I can barley get a word in.

My mom lets me make my own decisions, as long as I'm not making the decision to do anything she doesn't agree with.

im not slamming her for anything. i was only asking her a simple question. i wasn't being malicious about it was i?

EG, she probably messed up on here typing. Get over yourself. And stop slamming her over her mistakes. It only makes you look like an idiot.

Thanks Korith. My parents aren't that great.

parents? as in plural? i thought your mom died.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Well, just remember that you didn't come with a manual on how to parent you. So be patient and give him a chance. I'm pretty sure his trying his best. Remember that he is human, just like you and he can make mistakes. But I am sure he wants the best for you.

sweet day.

Well parents are people. While I agree that many do all of those things sometimes and it can get really annoying, just remember that we do the same thing. It's not always about the person, sometimes you're so upset from someone else being irresponsible that you are quick to blame another one because they made a mistake for once. I know that in my case sometimes I am stressed and take it out on them, and sometimes they are stressed and take it out on me. Sometimes it isnt even about whatever is actually going on. When it's the whole control over your life thing, sometimes it is just about that they don't have control over their own life, and they need to be able to control something, which is the same with us, I mean I know that I will take more control over my own life when other things, such as school, are getting hard and stress me out. Maybe none of this is true for you since everyone has different family situations, but I know that although it's hard to accept, our parents are people that have more in their lives then us, and their control freakouts usually have more to do with something other then us.

would you quit telling pepole to ignore you? thats my line!

Thanks Korith. My parents aren't that great. Let me tell you. But I'm not going to get into that. I've said it before. I'm not saying it again. And yes, people have a lot worse. So why should I complain?
Just ignore me. I'm a bitter, worthless person. And an idiot.

Probably because your acting like a baby, that they make your decisions for you

Parents try.

There is allot they do for us. And it could be allot worse.. Like… they could not care at all.

I guess you would have to have bad parents to understand how outrageous it is for people with descent parents to complain.

Thanks. My Dad, grrr... everything I do is wrong, he freaks out over everything!

nah, youre not crazy, i quite agree. parents are stupid and one sided and never let you say or do what you want. with some situations i can understand, it could hurt you or someone else, but when youre doing something completely harmless like dressing a certain way, theyre all over your case and acting like its the end of the world. it sucks. *takes a compulsive drink of 7up*
