From a Child to a Parent

Children can be complicated as are teens but we've all been there. I'm only 18 but I know what pressure can do to a person. Rules and restrictions apply but when is it too much? Getting children to listen can be difficult but most people don't understand that they are going at it the wrong way. Parents need to take the time out and listen to their children when they have something to say because yelling over them will only make them more mad and a one sided story is not the full story. I've seen it happen many times.

When my best friend was younger her mother never let her go over to her friends houses. Her friends were allowed over her house but not for very long. She could hardly ever have sleepovers because her parents didn't trust her. She never gave them one reason before they began "holding her down" to not trust her. These restrictions only made her mad and want to do whatever she wanted. She was a freshman in high school when her parents started to hold her down more. She was never allowed to do anything and was never trusted by her family. Finally she got mad enough to finally start rebelling against her parents. It made her mad that they didn't trust her.
