Disrespectful Teenagers

 It's hard bring up children who first start out being so sweet but end up being so disrespectful. When God blesses us with a little bundle of joy, to hold, to nurture, to love and care for until they are old enough to move out on their on. But there are times when our teens are not ready to move out on their on. Because in their heads they think if I move out I can do what ever I want to do and I don't have to do give account to no one but myself. But what they don't realize, is that it's not easy being out there in the world alone trying to make a living.

Especially, when you are a freshman in college,taking 5 classes,working and trying to party all at the same time. It's hard for me to do it and I'm grown. But when you tell them they have overloaded themselves,the first thing they will say is,"I can handle it". When they know deep down inside they can't do it without something lacking and that is mostly always their grades. Then, when they find out they have failed a class or two, they come home mad at the world and they take their frustration out on whoever they see.

Young teens and young adults think when they turn 18 and above they are grown or they can do anything they want but I'm here to tell you that's not true. Parents are not there to keep you from having a good time with your friends or even with yourself. We don't want them to make the same mistakes as we did at their age now however they still don't learn nor want to hear what we say because we are in a different generation. It seems like we don't understand what they are going through.

  1. I've always had great respect for people. It's more powerful than money.

  2. I remember I used to say (all of the time), "I can't wait until I get grown." Boy, how I wish I could take that back. Being grown come with "grown people" problems. If I had only known what I know now, I would have embraced being a child just that much more.

  3. Some of us have to learn things the hard way. I think the best anyone can do is pry for them and try to be there for them, help them back to there feet when they fall.
