Teenagers vs. Parents (Also, who hates SuperNanny)

We all know parents have almost no common sense whatsoever. You might only think that because they got lucky in one situation or two you were involved in. Believe me, we all have our regrets. That doesn't mean teenagers are all-knowing sages either. They have a point in the statistics with drugs, beer, cigs. But when you try to be good, they hate you anyway. Take me for ex. I never go out. I only go out for school, or shopping with my parents. >_<; Yes, I know I'm pitiful. But I have no ride, ya know. How am I supposed to go anywhere (sneak out) if everything good is a mile or more away?!?!?! Plus there's always someone at home... So I watch T.V, go on the occasional movie with parents, play on computer. I have no life, but I'm not so low to study all the time :shivers: Yet they still dictate me! I'm doing absouletely nothing and they still critisize me! (Ex. sit up straight, walk up straight, look both ways. I DO THIS AND THEY JUST DON"T REALIZE IT.) Then my mom watches SuperNanny and decides to impose rules on me! I'm not a frikin' 3-year old (That's the age group all the brats are based on in the show) Thinking, ohh I should raise my kids that way cause' it's on T.V. I mean, she never listens to me, I should just dictate her life and take out anything good/interesting in her life (You perverts if you think what I think you mean.) I mean, what kid is going to listen to their parents when they decide to listen to a T.V show with a brit. lady. I know, she's crazy. I mean, she wasn't really there growing up, and hey, I'm still here, so why's she trying now? I mean, it's her fault I don't have a social life in the first place. (Any parenting she did made me twisted) See a pattern that T.V starts to spout on any kids channel. That parents try to hug you closer as you grow up which is unreasonable because you have to prepare yourself for the outside world. You can ignore the other message they show on T.V., your parents are probably right and you should listen to them or get in serious trouble. We have common sense, some just don't use it. I mean, all you hear are the people with none, BECAUSE WHO WRITES A STORY ABOUT SOMEONE WHO DOES?!?!?! Frankly, my mom is trying to grip me to death because she's trying to pop me so everything will just fly away for her leaving me dead. She really can't wait till I go to college. And people wonder why so many kids drop out of college. It's because they weren't prepared in the first place. Those are the kids that listen to T.V and parents. you gotta open your mind, which happens to be the very thing parents hate. So remind them you have free will and run as fast you can when you can go to college. (My siblings sure did)

Moral of story- don't always listen to your parents when trying to gain some sort of free spirit (it's what america was based on) and please, prevent anyway of your parents to watch T.V. I think we all know it ruined my life, don't let it ruin yours. Who knew that T.V actually rotted minds. (which is why I watch all me anime on computer ^-^)

you sound like the young me. i was the same way. i never went out, never drank/did drugs, but i was never lectured either. she knew that i was a good girl. but in your case it sounds like you have an extremely overprotective mom, like mine except yours adapts traits from freakin staged reality shows. ( you should tell her that sometime, it might piss her off enough so that she will stop doing it. ) just wait buddy. enjoy the youth you have now. believe it or not your mothers nagging will save you from a lot of trouble later. but sometimes they can be completely wrong as well, so if you think she is wrong fight back with everything you have!! you might surprise her one of these days and she might stop doing it.

FYI I HATE REALITY SHOWS. ALL OF THEM SUCK BIG. mostly because they never where reality in the first place.

seriously my mom and dad never lets my sisters and i go 1 1/2 miles away from home, whenever my older sis goes jogging my mom goes crazy and has my little brothers look for her. sometimes my mom doesnt even let us walk to school or home from school. sure the neighborhood sucks like $hit but i could do some kick @ss moves when it comes to it. she always says, girls should only do this, should only do that, blah! shut up! i do not care about my culture, it sucks like $hit! i guess im gone when im going to college.

Well, you girls lived in a place where it is quite safe. In a lot of places, you can experience a lot of things. I know that you girls want a lot of freedom, but please sometimes think through and consider their thoughts.

Sometimes we, as a child, can be pretty selfish in terms of things and in the end, dis our own parents for somethings that we do not like and sometimes do not follow this thing called "culture".

Yeah, I know some of you know some cool moves and good moves to break a bone or two, but please, do that as a LAST RESORT. Prevention, in the end, is better than cure.

I have my resrictive days during m childhood, but well, my mother immediately released me after 6 years staying away from her and able to take care of myself. Even my elder sister go through that when she was a child. We have a much stricter mother than you girls, as my mother, when she was young, beat us up when we do wrong and I mean, not the simple strike to the butt or that. We got our whole body with a ratan, thick enough to leave some pain when we were a child.

my dad would use to hit us with the wire side of the fly swater, and ouch! that freaken hurted. when my siblings were younger and we want to go with our parents and they wouldnt let us, they would tie us on the leg of the bed. that was pretty mess. my mom always complains why my sisters and i never go to our cousin's house whenever they're doing religious things, and my older sis is like "we never learn something if we were never taught it" now that we're older we refuse to learn them. it was a habit we learn when we were kids, cant really be changed now.

None's perfect, so are both parents and teenagers. Ones care too much, ones want more and more...

my parents were pretty strict with me and my brother when we were little, my mom used to hit us alot but as we grew up we got used to her hitting us, so now my dad takes that role and eventually wegot used to him and he gave up too. they used to never let us out unless we it daytime, they knew who my friend was and knew my friends parents and their house number.

As I grew up i thought my parents were pretty harsh to me but i learnt it was just tough love, think it made me a better person, my parents made me and my brother do chores since we were little and made us understand if we wanted anything we had to work for it, nothings free they told me, it just made me more thankful for what i get now.

neh i go where i want, when i want, but i guess im alright, dont go around causing trouble and shit, so, just maybe, my parents trust me (or they just cant be bothered). i'll let my mom nag, since i think she enjoys it.

Well I suppose I'm whining a bit, but can you believe me. It's kinda hard not to whine when your own mother says to your face that she can't wait for you to go to college and that she's ashamed of you. I mean, she doesn't even like me to sit in rocking chairs because it's TOO LAZY. And she's a doctor, but she can't tell a cold from an allergy and stuffs an inhaler down my throat which makes me cough. She says it proves I have asthma/allergies. I do not Need pills. Personally, i think she's trying to drug me with all the medicine she makes me take. I sneak out of it and do just fine. I just need a daily dose of sugar and caffeine.
Besides, I also have migraines, are at least that's what my doctor told me. I thought I just had headaches because my classmates were so loud and annoying me. I swear, at least 2 people are stalking me. 8 have already proposed to me in the span of 5 years, and I have supposedly had 13 different boyfriends, 10 of which I have never met. You would get headaches too. But I guess they were really migraines this whole time. I'm surprised because they were rather minor in elementary school. Yeah, I've had them for that long. I'm ranting aren't I? Must get back to subject.
Okay, this paragraph dedicated to parents.
My mom and grandmother are like banshees in my ear. Their very voice and actions irritate me to no end. My migraines are always there, but when calm, are like a light, invisible fog. Still there, but can be ignored easily. When my parents are around, well, imagine a raging storm of stress. It's like the fog has turned into an ocean of stinging acid, slowly and painfully seeping into my head. I was in one of them writing my other paragraph. You wonder why I hate them so much? It's because just by being near them, they cause me pain. They don't even need to speak a word. In their presence, I have a slight headache. Thank god they're not home or don't usually spend more than 3 or less hours with me. Frankly, you'd be saying the same things in my position. If I hurt any parents reading this, consider your kids if they have any ACTUAL problems with you. I have to get around to saying to my parents that they are really hurting me. Too bad my words merely bounce off of them. I'm the youngest see, so my words are like an insignifigant fly. Frankly, their hearing is getting bad so I have to yell and they yell, and headache gets worse. See a connection?

Moral: Kids might actually have physical, emotional, mental problems with parents in a seemingly safe place. Parents, feeling so safe might ignore this. THIS IS NOT A MESSAGE SAYING GET INTO YOUR KIDS FACES. I'm saying, be more observing from afar like an unrequited lover in the medieval ages (Yeah, I read alot) and try to help the teens get through teen hood as unharmful as possible. I haven't even gotten INTO the back pains of book bags and the horrible, horrible back aches of menstruation, or the horrible, horrible pain in the chest called Realization/guilt of things nothing in your control.

wow i feel sorry for you guys. ive got pretty good parents i think. my mum is very watchful and always seems to know everything. its like she has us on 24hr surveilance. but she just wants to know she doesnt interfer much except for taking away my brother's ATM card because he blew a few hundred bucks without knowing. my dad on the other hand doesnt give a shit what i do. we sometimes get into shouting arguments and he just forgets about it after like 15 minutes. he's lik me in that he doesnt hold onto things for long. and my parents let me go on a one month overseas school trip so i guess im pretty lucky.
