Ok. Parents, what a large topic this is. But I'll try to dumb it down to just a one-sided paragraph ranting about parents from the perspective of the stubborn teenager. Let's begin. Parents. They tell us not to worry about our mistakes and yet they are the ones who point out our mistakes and shove them in our faces. They're the ones who put so much emphasis on our darkest moments and bring them out into the spotlight. While doing so they also leave our brightest moments out in the dark. What's with that? How can they expect us to feel comfortable with our mistakes when they're the ones making them seem like such a big deal. I suppose they want us to learn from them. But from what they're doing, all we're learning is that mistakes are forbidden and any slip ups won't be tolerated. Nice message they're sending... And I get what they're trying to do, but we aren't idiots. We know how to learn from our mistakes and even if we don't get it on the first try, it's not over. There will always be a second round if the matter has any importance. But what will it accomplish if they just tell us about the wrong we've done? We know what we've done wrong, and as i said before, we're not idiots. We're just trying to figure our how to get it right. So parents, give us some time and stop pointing out our mistakes. We know they're there. Please. Stop the madness.
This has been a Go; rant.
Til next time,
Sarah
