Vent.

[SuperPunk 13]

{Yes, I'm venting. Something made me want to write this today.}

 

I honestly hate it when people don't appreciate life/their parents. They complain about their phone being taken away or their parents being "retards" or "bastards". When they go everywhere or get everything they want and the one time someone doesn't say yes, they throw a bitchfit. Seriously, you are doing nothing but being whiny.

 

I believe that you should really appreciate what you have and cherish it. I don't think there are "crappy" or "bitch parents".

 

First of all, parents. Parents, I admit can sometimes be a bit unfair but not throw-tantrums-because-they-punished-me mean. They do what's best for you. If they don't let you go somewhere with someone, maybe it's because they don't trust the person you're going with and want you to be safe or don't like the place you're going to. Or maybe they dont give you what you want. That could be because they don't have enough money or they don't see why you deserve it at the moment. For rewards, you need to give hard work. I don't see how you could hate your parents. They gave you life, food, shelter, clothes, and if you're reading this, technology and education. Be thankful.

Did I ever mention just how much I love you?

I won't lie and said I'm not guilty of this, I've gone off on my parents over nothing before. But thats doesn't mean I was right.

I couldn't agree more, Melanie.

A lot of kids forget: They're the ones who probably gave you a phone, or a TV, or a computer in the first place. Or, they gave you the allowance that bought the stuff you own in the first place. Plus, they're your parents. And they have every right to punish you when you're doing something wrong.

And some parents can be quite unfair. But most of the time, they have their reasons. Even if there reasons may not be legitmate 100% of the time.

My parents threw me out of the house when they found out I was Gay.

 

My parents are retards!

I agree with you. Parents may seem as if they're being unfair, but they're doing what's best for you. Plus, they provide you with shelter and food and education so people should be thankful.

I thank my parents for what they do for me. Mine have gone out of the way to support our family of six, and even though I may sometimes say I "hate" my family I still love them. They've worked long and hard to get enough money to be able to send all four of us kids to college (even though I'm not there yet.. ). However, I agree that a parent isn't terrible for taking away a phone, or some other form of punishment and the kid has no real reason to call them a "Retard" just because they're doing what they think is best for you. They're doing it so a kid can realize what's right from wrong, even though sometimes the punishment may be a bit overboard, but at least they're trying to be there for the kid!!! D: --- They're the ones that gave you all of the phones, video games, mp3 players, etc. etc. in the first place too....

 

However, I do think there are a few really crappy parents out there, but not in the way most people whine about them. Those are the parents that actually DO harm their kids. They are the ones who physically abuse their kids or don't properly take care of their children or something of the sort because they're too caught up with their own lives to even care about their kid. I have experienced truly bad parents in my time spent working at my family's daycare, I don't believe there aren't any out there... But that's extremely rare for a person to be a terrible parent. THOSE are what bad parents are, and I really think MANY people take all that their parents do for granted. They never really realize how fortunate their lives are....

 

But I do believe that most pre-teens and teenagers tend to over exaggerate how bad their parents are. Though sometimes they may just be venting their frustration, their parents are just doing what you said: trying to do what they think is best for their kids. Sometimes the kids might not agree with it, but that's life. It's just not always fair. I will admit to also ranting about how terrible my parents are (if I haven't already. )

 

As I've gotten older though, I have realized that my parents aren't perfect and that I really don't agree with some of the ways they've parented but if it wasn't for them, I probably would have made really poor choices in my life! But even though they aren't perfect parents I still think they've done a pretty kickass job. Everything that I don't agree with I can always just not do when it comes for me to raise kids of my own, so in a sense they've taught me what I do and don't want to do when I start parenting. It's guaranteed though that I'll never be a perfect parent either, but there's no harm in trying.

my parents assume I hate them, which I don't lol. Sometimes I might say it, not really meaning to, but they just think I hate them. It's not them I hate, it's what they do.

Yeah kids whine, and most of the time it's because of something stupid like getting their phone taken away. But the thing is, you don't always know the situation of the person and what their life is like. Even if you're close friends with them and know their family, for all you know their parents could be abusive and mean, completely different from the nice parents you probably know. Yes I kind of agree with this, but you also have to consider, do you really know how those kids live? They might be going through something they don't want to talk about and etc. I do think some parents are really stupid. They have a very close minded way of thinking and they don't allow their kids to even explain themselves when they mess things up. Personally, with my parents, it's the lack of communication that I hate and why I always whine about how they're stupid and bitches, because well the few times we actually talk, that's how the act.

So yeah, bluh bluh bluh.

You know, my dad is unfair.

He tells me and my sis not to do shit, and then he goes off and does EXACTLY WHAT HE TOLD US NOT TO.

Then we ask him why and he:

1)gets mad

2)Says he's the boss of the house

 

And he isn't, he AND mom are. So he feels like he can do whatever he wants.

And he drinks so much.

I'm kinda not proud of him at all.

He is SO embarrassing...
