Parents....

Why is that parents are telling us one thing but do another? Why do they tell us to believe in something and then shut us down when we do? To me that is one of the craziest things that could ever happen to a teenager. Our parents always tell us to not do certain things such as don't have sex before marriage, don't do drugs, and don't treat people wrong, but they willl turn right around and do the same exact thing they just told you not to do. How do they expect us to obey them when they are doing the wrong thing themselves. Sometimes parents will tell a child to believe in themselves and to stand up for what they believe in no matter what. But what if what the child believes in is unacceptable to the paents, then what do we do. Do we obey or disobey, disobey or obey our parents . Do we do what they tell us to do...yes, but which example displayed by them do we follow. Do we follow by example and get mad, frustrated, etc., and cuss them because of the fact we don't know what in the world is going on and directly obey or disobey them...confusing right. What do we do teens, what do we do. I'll tell u what we do, we do exactly what they want us to do...be like them follow their example. Some parents always use the famous quote ' Lead By Example', but they never do just that. In order for us to be leaders we have to be showed how and who better to show us then our parents. If they dont show us then who will. We would basically be like parentless children. We have gaurdians, but no parents...how is that. Well to most people a parent is one who has a child, but i believe that a parent is one who provides, loves, and cares for a child. Also helps that child grow into a well rounded and respected leader of the world. So teens help me get my point across talk to your "parents" about the example they are leading you to believe is the right one, because who knows is it really!!!!
