and I was wondering...
why are most teenagers so bent on doing exactly what their parents want?
Like ...
taking over the family business, or being a lawyer...
You know its your life not your parents.
Even if your parents are supporting you with their money but only if you do what they want you to do... you still shouldn't just sit by and watch your life dwindle away on something you don't want to do.
You only get one life here people!
Maybe it's because they're also afraid that they won't have their parents approval...
I'll admit it would hurt if you were close with your parents and they all of a sudden turned their back on you...
but it's not going to kill you, you know
Rejection--even betrayal-- is not going to be the worst thing you go through in this life.
You know also
if you go through with something that you hate as your occupation you'll probably just end up losing it because you hate it so much and then
you'll end up homeless
with nothing to do
-_-
Some Advice: Start small.
Waitressing might work for you.
xD
But seriously-- don't let your parents push you around. This is your life, your future, your happiness.
I blame society, capitalism, functionalism.
ReplyDeleteYou raise good points, but does someone remain loyal to their parents out of pride? or simply because its an easy way forward?
maybe a youth does what his parent's wish so that he may one day rid hismelf of them and their influence, without hurting them.
parents do in the end want what they percieve as being the best for their children.
patience is key, time is paramount. anyone can break free from physical bonds, but doing it at the opportune moment is something else.
best wishes, you know who i am ^_^.
