10 Things We Will Not Tell Our Parents
Our parents wonder what is bugging us, it's normal, everyone's parents do that. They want to know what is it.
The common things that we will not tell our parents:
1. Privacy.
Privacy, is a big concern. Parents don't respect this rule. Privacy can be difficult for us to keep. When we tell them, they don't really listen. So, really it's hard to make them listen.
I'll give an example, based on my life.
I have no siblings, it's just me and my parents at home. The number one thing that I hate that my parents do is open my bedroom door. Coming in without knocking or just opening the door wide. Why? Because they have to know what I am doing or the other explanation is, 'it's cold, you'll be cold, put a jumper on'. They should just ask what I am doing or if I'm cold. Uhhhh...
An essential item on your and my bedroom door, is a lock. Who agrees?
2. Listen to me.
Parents sometimes don't realise, that sometimes we, teenagers, just need you to listen. Not talk or criticise, just listen. Parents don't listen most of the time, because of one reason; they're busy. A horrible aspect. It makes us heartbroken, because it is like they are ignoring us.
3. Dating when parents say no.
When you like someone, it's hard to not date them when they like you back. But one thing keeps stopping you almost in tracks, your parents said no to dating. 'It is my life, not theirs', that is something important to remember.
4. Bad grades at school.
Not telling them about the bad grades at school because, to not hear them say that we've let them down. Studying is not the only thing in life. It should be done, but not for 24/7. Then you wouldn't see how beautiful the world is.
5. Parents wanting to talk to you about sex.
They should talk in steps when we get to the point where this information is needed. Not tell us to sit down and give us this huge lecture. And of course trying to know about our 'sex' life. Did I kiss someone? What base did I get up to? Am I a virgin? These are some questions that are asked often when wanting to know about our 'sex' life.
6. Hating of not holding siblings or other members of family accountable.
When they started it first, we have to get the blame, because they are to young to understand or they are an 'angel' to the parents eyes.
That happens to me a lot of times with my cousin. We fight, I get the blame, because she's an 'angel' in their eyes and I hit here. Well, to tell the truth she is the only who does the first hit usually.
7. Cut me some slack.
When I don't do something that was supposed to be done, e.g. chores. It could of been that I didn't do it, because I was busy with homework or feeling unwell mentally and/or physically.
8. Lies to not get in trouble.
Telling the truth is not always good. Why? Because it could cause the person that you are telling it to, get very high emotions; sadness, anger, etc. Which can lead them to an unhealthy state.
But... The truth in 99% occasions is necessary.
9. Using my age for disadvantage is not good.
"You're 14, act like your age" and then "You are only 14". Which is it parents? Make up your mind!
10. Trust me.
Trust me... Have I misled you parents before, to think I'm lying now?
