"Inside A Teenagers Mind"

Parents always want us to come to them and tell them things. They are always trying to get their children to open up to them. Well from a child's perspective, it is not going to happen. The problem is that parents are very judgmental. There is never a moment when a child can come to their parent just to "talk". You are not our friends you make sure to kill the thought of that while we are at a young age. So why do you want us to talk you now? How could you expect us to? In my opinion, parents always have something to say and that's a big problem when it comes to a child telling them anything.


Sometimes we just want to vent to someone. If you child comes to you, sits on your bed and tells you something... You should be very happy! But there are a few rules that come along with your child giving you this responsibility:


1. Do not give your opinion unless it is asked of you.
2. Do not tell anyone else. Friends, Family, Facebook, etc. NO ONE!
 
That's another thing that children hate and I know that I hate it especially. Do not get on the phone and tell the whole nation our business...That is not why we told you. Parents, in a child's mind, are not to be trusted with information because once they know your business it's on the front page of Japan's top newspaper. Be grateful that you are even being exposed to this information. No, I'm not saying that all parents are like this because I know of a few that can actually be trusted. But that is only a few. Teenagers are hard to deal with and I totally understand (me being a teenager and all), but you must have that bond & trusts between one another if you want your child to be comfortable with telling you things. That's just a little advice!
