What's wrong with you!?

"What's wrong with you!? You were never like this as a child. You have become such a rebel, a juvenile and a disgrace to this family." You would never figure hearing that now-a-days considering vocabulary has enriched itself slowly but surely. Now something you would hear would probably be something like "you little s#@t head or f@*k you" right? Yeah well however you put, it's the worst way to talk to "young people" today. We as the future of america would like to live in the land of the free without people giving us so many hassles! That is also including parents. I know my mother just wants me to become more than she is and truly appreciate that, and thus, in return, i try to do as much as i can for her. But gosh darn it, is my mother the most difficult person to work with. She just won't listen to me and always looks at the negative things about me. She has one of the most colorful vocabularies you may find and it aggravates me so much because i refuse to take that crap from anyone! I have come to realize that "young people" of today have very short tempers and are bombs that are ready to explode with the last thing to light their fire. So many of us committing suicide or if not crimes or even murder :( It's sad to know that the future of america is slowly degrading itself because of parents or adults not knowing how to talk to us, considering they are the ones who decided on having us. There are no rules to raising a child because each little bundle of joy reacts differently to everything so you have to realize that as a parent and try to cope with it and help your child get going. Parents that hit their children until they have no sense of feeling are some of what trigger the worst in us. Parents who yell and love to see their children cry is what trigger the worst in us. Parents who just shouldn't be parents AT ALL are what trigger the worst in us. Mom i love you but i can only take so much! For those young people that believe that doing all the worst possible things you can think of are solutions, think again. We have future in this sad world and once we get older, we can be a much better version of our parents. WE learn from their MISTAKES!

-"because of parents or adults not knowing how to talk to us, considering they are the ones who decided on having us."

You know Kurt Vonnegut said something similair and highly amuzing
"I didn't ASK to be born"
he meant that you can't blame in him on being here because he has no control of being her and so this pertains to your blog in the fact that your saying you need a break from being critisized and that parents should fess up to having you and not the other way around.
nice blog

I don't know, I would take a completely different approach. We may not have asked to be here, but we ARE here so why shouldn't we make the best of it? No one is forced to follow in their parents' footsteps. We are all individuals with choices and our own lives to lead.

finally someone understands me. you know im not saying anything bad towards parents either but im just stating the way i feel and maybe other people might feel.

It is interesting that you listed as your own concerns some of the very things your mother may worry about. They are the same things that people have been saying about kids and young adults for decades, though, and I don't expect them to be any more true than they were for my generation.

If you are giving your mom's criticism this much thought and not just ranting for 200 words that "my mom is such a bitch!" then I have no doubt that you will be fine. Your mom is probably worried because you are becoming more independent. This makes parents panic! It'll be a rough couple of years, but once you are out of the house for a while, you two will be able to develop a new, adult relationship.

i believe and completely agree with what you say but until we have our time away from each other our little fights and struggles will just continue tearing us apart little by little :idk:
