Alright,so..last night was a 1960’s horrorfest,buut..it gave me something I’ve been thinking about for awhile. Parents,the “responsible adult”, are always supposibley making “the best choice” for us teenagers,right? I never really see that. Honestly,I’ve seen rules that are “the best choice” for them. It seems as if, parents bend rules around the way they want us to turn out. Not the way indivuduals want to turn out for themselves,but for the way their “responsible adult” decide to. The parents try to plan out what they want out of their “kid”,making it seem like that’s the best plossible choice for the kid. No. That’s probably the worst choice for an indivudual. Meaning,their own person. Bending them to be just like you is totally and ultimately the wrong choice. Although,the parents think that just because you’re not exactly old enough to be a legal adult means absoulutely NOTHING. The “irresponsible juvenile” as parents think of it, could be more responsible than the crappy parent themselves. Like,take my father for example. He feeds off money from my grandma,my foster grandma,and even me. I’ve stopped giving him money,telling him he’s already taken too much. I’m not even in contact with my father anymore,and I don’t plan on it. Anyway,the parents are usually in the wrong here,is what I’m saying,when they think that they need to make ALL of your decisions. Some parents give out rules that make no sense and no reinforcement behind them. Like,take for example, Hitler. “Kill all the Jews.” Why? “Because I said so.” I’ve heard that countless times and if your going to make a rule,do it with reason. This method is extremely similar to our government in power. Laws and rules are enforced with no point or reason. Just because they’re power greedy,and it feels good to be in charge,right? If you enforce power and rule amongst the pointless losses,you’re government is lost,starving,and bent under your thumb just how you want them to be,am I correct? The same runs along exactly the same line as parenting. If you’re going to make your kid the plossible version of themselves,let them be them. Not you. If you’re going to set rules that are better for them,give them reason and point to their morals. If that was done,I think we’d have a much better society than this filth today.
