7 Things Parents Don't Understand

Parents are great. They put a roof over our heads, feed us and whatnot. They are there for us when we need them. But. Well, there a few things that parents don't understand. They just don't. So, without much further ado, here I count down '7 Things Parents Don't Understand'. 

1. Procrastination is an art

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. And messy rooms are beautiful. And if you think otherwise, you just need a new perspective. Seriously. And, it's okay to delay cleaning your room. Or doing homework. Or anything else for that matter. Why, you ask me? Because, procrastination is an art. And it requires a very high amount of professional laziness. It's talent. Parents usually don't get that. 

2. Comparison does no help whatsoever

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Mary got an A+ on that test. What happened to you?"

 "Well, uh I got a C+. That's not that bad." 

 "But Mary got an A+. You are grounded."

Well, guess what. I don't care if Mary got an A+. Why do we even care about Mary in the first place? Sometimes, parents just don't seem to see that comparing us to others is not helping. AT ALL. It never does. And that's probably why they should stop doing that. 

3. Taking away the WiFi is a bad idea

It's really not a good idea to take away the WiFi connection. It definitely doesn't help with my studies. Because NOW I DON'T HAVE GOOGLE! What am I supposed to do now?   

Seriously, parents just don't get it. 

Internet can be very useful sometimes.

 

 

 4. It's okay to be unstable

    

                                                                

Sometimes we lash out. We scream. We shout. We cry. We laugh. We don't have control over it. We are teenagers for crying out loud. What else do you expect? And it's OKAY. It's not drama. Parents don't get it sometimes.

5. Because it's important 

  

"Why is the concert of that band so important to you?" 

"I never wanted video games when I was your age. Why are they so important?"

"Why is that dress so important?"

Because it is! This is inexplicable. We get passionate about certain things. It could be a band, a book, a game anything for that matter. Teens are passionate people. It is important. It just is. 

 

6. I will do it. LATER!

Now, we all have a list of chores that we are supposed to do. The dishes, ironing, anything. And when we say we will do it later, we mean it. You don't always have to keep reminding us. Really. We will do our chores. Just not NOW. but LATER. The concept is quiet clear, don't you see?

7. Expectations are sometimes unhealthy  

Now, I am not saying to expect absolutely nothing. It's just too many expectations are a real source of stress. Sometimes, the grades may not be good for example, just try to go easy in such situations. That's all.
