Parents

Its eleven o’ clock and even though you are only five minutes away from home, you know that as soon as you walk through the door your parents will act as if you have come home 3 hours late. As you enter the front door you are greeted with the expected “I can't believe you broke curfew again.” It seems that you have once again found yourself incapable of making your parents happy. There are many things about most adults that bother me: How they assume they know how you feel, the way they pry into your private lives when they think you are lying, the way they think they are more capable of making decisions for you. Today most adults have forgotten what it is like to be a child. And as a result, have developed into a spitting image of how their parents were with them.

I'm not sure if it is the times that have changed or if my parents do not remember what it is like to be a teenager.

It is not possible for someone to perform their best in school or get their homework completed when they to work every night, just so they can have a descent car to drive and cool clothes to wear. And if their grades are not as good as they could be then sit down with them and figure out what the problem is and come up with the best solution. It is all right to set rules and expect a lot from teenagers on the weekdays when they need to get homework done and papers written. We need the latest clothes, cars, insurance, and of course food.

There is no reason why teenagers or any child for that fact to get up early and go to school then straight to work then have to do their homework.

Jobs are another huge stress on me as a teenager. Parents should not put the full responsibilities on their children to find a job so they can pay for all those things on their own. I mean come on, who can remember to clean and keep their room spotless when they are trying to decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives or where they are going to go to college. I myself am a senior in high school, which by itself is a big responsibility. Teenagers are probably the most expensive things in the world. Help me! Usually a good plan is for the parents to pay for all school-oriented things and to split the rest fifty-fifty.

Teenagers then should have the weekend to work and make a little extra spending cash to go out and have fun with their friends. I think that teenagers deserve a break after the four most grueling years of their lives, so parents let your kids go on the senior trip and make sure to pay for and give them a lot of spending cash!

. I'm not sure why our parents get so bent out of shape when this happens. Parents should remember that there are a lot of expenses for teenagers especially for those who play sports.
