Family
It's two a.m. and she's not home yet. Where could she be? She said she'd be home by one. She's never been this late before; never been in any kind of trouble. Prom was over at midnight, where could she be? It's the time of year when proms and graduations pull beloved teens out into the dark streets where some are, unfortunately, intoxicated. As parents you may want to shield them from what might happen but you can't always be everywhere. They want to take a date to the prom, not their mother. Proms and graduations seem to be the time of year when it happens. Inevitably, someone in school dies in a car wreck. Chances are someday we will all know how it feels to be the one's left behind, but what if it was your child instead of one of their classmates? This happened to a friend of mine. She didn't have an open relationship with her parents. They would have grounded her for months just for being with someone who was drinking alcohol. So, to her, getting into the car was her only choice. Luckily, she lived but shattered her pelvis bone. The other passenger wasn't so lucky. He crawled about ten feet trying to get help before he died of internal injuries.
The girls are confined and restricted under the overly critical gaze of their strict mother, and despite the father's lenient tendencies, he is also fearful of defying his overbearing wife. In other words, because I had the freedom to do what ever I wanted to do, then I never felt the need to actually do it, the fact that I could was enough for me. Teens need someone to lean on, whether they are willing to admit it or not. The daughters refuse to go down that path their mother is so adamant about, and instead, find a way to remain forever young and free from their mother's influence by killing themselves. Once her control of her world begins to crumble after the first suicide, she tightens the grip yet further. Although every character is in some way responsible for the resulting tragedy, Mrs. However, I do think it shows a strong example of what can happen if the parent takes the easy way out and simply grounds their children without taking the time to explain or talk about the reasons. Her strict enforcement of the conservative lifestyle only adds fuel to the girl's newfound sexual fire. It was never clear what he actually found, but the root of all the problems, to me at least, seemed to derive from the mother who was always putting harsh restrictions on her children. Not once does she try to make a genuine connection of compassion or understanding with her husband or her daughters. It is important to create an atmosphere where they know they can talk to you about anything. Some people think that giving their children this "out" or freedom to do what ever actually will increase their chances of misbehaving. There is a fine line between being a parent and being a friend, and when it comes to your children it is important not to be too liberal or too conservative. Your child has a lot going on in their head so be there for them now and they'll be there for you in years to come. She says that there was never a lack of love in their house, yet she had been running the family like a cool drill sergeant demanding efficiency and obedience first and foremost.
