Parents do understand SOME THINGS. But not all things. Take for example if you live with your dad, he doesn't understand that girls have needs and they need certain things. Dads don't understand the boyfriend deal. "NO DATING UNTIL YOUR THIRTY!"
Dads are way too protective and they really DO NOT understand.. at all. The only thing they understand is that your his little girl and he needs to protect you.
Moms on the other hand, they understand a lot more things that dad's do. They understand that girls have drama and they need comfort in those times. In some cases, mothers DO NOT understand. Sometimes parents tend to forget what it's like to be fifteen. They forget all those things because they are sometimes stressed and caught up in the world.
Parents don't understand that our life is different than their life whenever they were fifteen. Times have changed and social standards are different. My parents always try to protect me and keep me in the "little girl" image. My dad ALWAYS says, "I remember when you were just a little baby.." they fail to realize that before they know it I'll be in college!
Whenever my mom was fifteen buying a shirt for $30 was unreal, but now it's a great price for a nice piece of clothing. My mom doesn't always understand that to get nice clothes, you have to spend a little more.
Since times have changed my parents do not understand that many of my friends have cars and can drive. I wasn't allowed to ride around with people until my 15th birthday. Parents don't understand a lot of things, especially drama and relationships at our age.
parents understand some things because of personal experiences. although, they dont understand everthing. for example parents dont understand how your feeling or what your thinking.
parents may understand what your going through with friends or where your coming from. but, they might not know what your going through if your feeling a certain way or if you do something and they wont understand why.
kids need to communicate with their parents so the parents will know what's going on. kids often get out of line because their parents don't understand them or where their coming from.
Where do I begin? I guess parents don't understand because just because we're their children doesn't necessarily mean that we are exactly like them. We probably won't make the exact same mistakes as them but we might. It's all a learning experience.
I think our parents are sometimes over-protective because they went through some not so happy things in their life, and they don't want us to go through the same thing. That's when kids feel like they are "sheltered" and every kid hates when other people consider them that. Parents don't understand that you have to go through certain experiences to learn from mistakes and not do those things again.
Parents also didn't have the kind of things we have now, such as cell phones, laptops, video games, brand name clothes, etc. It's hard for a kid to hear their parents say that you can't have something that's "cool" because you feel like you have to fit in with the other kids.
Parents also pry into our lives. They think that it is their responsibility to "protect" us from EVERYTHING out there. They have to read all of our texts, go through our computers, and try to act cool around our friends. It's annoying, but I guess it's what parents are supposed to do because if they didn't do any of this stuff, that means that they don't care.
Well... I don't even know Ha Ha. Is not the point that you'll don't understand because of the fact that you all take it out of proportion. We try to make things more complex than what they really are.
Parents are different, so its hard to say something they all don't understand. And the kids are different too, so that makes a difference.
My parents and I don't have too many problems in understanding each other. They are pretty much okay with whatever I'm doing, as long as it isn't illegal and I know what NOT to do. I'm in my room most of the time I'm home because me and my brother don't really get along.
There's something parents don't understand. The whole siblings thing. "Well, I loved my brother..." "Me and my sister never fought like this..."
Then they don't listen to both sides of the story, and punish only one person. They apparently don't understand that despite the fact I love my brother, there is sometimes no one else on Earth I'd rather push out of a window. It's okay when I abuse him, but if someone else does, then it's war.
Another thing is that when they yell, then we yell. It's not necessarily on purpose, but we do it anyway, and they only get more and more mad. So in turn, it makes us even more mad, and it will just keep going on like that. Then we get in trouble, and then we get really mad and that's when we disobey.
We're teenagers. We get irritated easily, parents get irritated easily, and we just don't mix well. I blame the hormones. But for the most part, my parents get that I'm not going to do anything illegal, and I'll make the right choices.
The problem is that parents understand way to much. My parents did all the crazy things in the book, so that is why my family is so protective. Parents understand how it is to be a kid, and they do not want us to make the mistakes they made.
The thing about parents is that they need to learn to let us make our own mistakes to learn from. We only live once and we want a child hood like no other. Every one thinks there parents are too uptight at some point in life.
Parents were wild things when they were younger, or at least mine were so that is why they act the way they do. Like I said, I still feel that parents do understand WAY too much.
The reason you don't understand is because you teach us from experience. We learn a lot more things now that technology and things are growing. Some parents have not been our age for a while.
Parents think that they understand how things are today because of thinks that happened in the past. Things have changed since they were are age. More things have happen and more problems occur. Sure, some things are still the same but overall things have changed.
Some parents are cool and they understand what people are going through. But for the ones that don't......ask your kids about how things have changes and you will understand how the problems have changed. So overall, you don't understand because you don't think about how things have changed and how your child feels.
parents dont under stand that times have changed sionce they were little kids. and no matter what they say the child knows that they can comper theirselfs to their kids. i mean we have the enternet while the parents might of had a phone. there are alot more ways a child in todays time can get into trouble then back in the day. they also dont understand how a child thinks. i mean as you grow older then your mind starts to get a view on things how they really are and you can understand what is actually happening in the world.
but kids minds are still developing the way to train the body and mind to be able to take the overwelling truth of reality.
I think that parents understand way more than we teenagers give them credit for. Like, they've been where we are, maybe not exactly where we are, but pretty close, so that gives them a past experience and a bit of knowledge for certain things. Sometimes, however, parents overdo things by thinking they know EVERYTHING, when really they only know parts of things. It really just depends on the situation.
In some cases, parents have no clue! So many things have changed since our parents were our age that they wouldn't believe it! We aren't like hippies or disco freaks, we're a totally different generation. We have more ways of communicating, like texting and Myspace and Facebook, which many parents didn't have. And sometimes we just go through stuff that we personally feel like no one would understand, so we just don't talk about it.
Teens and kids are moody and don't know what's wrong and what's right and everyone has to learn from their own mistakes to truly live and experience. Parents do understand some things, but some things are way over their heads. It's the same with everyone; people understand some things, but other things may be way over their heads. It's a part of life, everyone goes through the "you wouldn't understand" stage.
Parents don't understand anything. Sometimes i think they don't care how we feel. They act like they don't care. If they do care they care to much. They don't understand anything. They don't try to understand our feelings. Do they really care because they want to or because they have to? You never know. That's my question. I don't think they get teenagers because they try to froget their childhood. I don't think we should have parents after the age of 13. They don't understand how we think. They just don't get us. What else can i say. Their just old!
Parents do not understand that we children are tired from school and that we just want to relax. They want us to wash dishes, take out the trash, cut the grass and etc.
They expect to much from us! We have loads of homework and they repeatedly ask us to do things. We do not mean to come off as being disobedient it's just that we''re tired from school.
Some kids do activities after school which adds on more work for them. They still need time to do homework, study, wash and other things. I just think parents should lay off just a little.
parents! gosh they definatly think they understand the things that we are going through but hello wake up it is not 19something anymore it is 2009 almost 2010! they think we have it so easy and i reckon we kind of do but goodness they just dont understand.
dont get me wrong i think my parents do understand some things but most of the time they dont. in high school some people go through this stage and when their parents try to help them cause they think they understand it makes matters worse.
parents DO NOT understand some of the things they go on around here. its almost impossible. i hate when my parents say "i was your age once i know what it's like" truth is they dont. they are not in our time period they were in theirs.! :)
Father knows best so thats why you asked this question. Like when my dad drives me home we both "look" at the same things and says "fatherly" things.
But mom on the other hand never really understands me but we both act the same. Well in some cases positives repel each other, so i can see why we dont get along as well.
Parents Many parents don’t understand the simple things. It’s really a lot of reasons why they don’t understand. They don’t understand just because. It really makes me mad because they don’t understand what the new life is about. Parents don’t understand that this is a new generation these days. They always telling us about what happened back then and they should be preparing us for now. They were raised a certain way and they think that we suppose to be brought up the same way. They just should give us a little more freedom and they’ll understand us more. I really think it’s a time scale thing. Between different age groups different rules are set. Some may be a little stricter than others or they may just be the nicest person on earth. But it’s all bolds downs to generations and how life its today and how it was back then.
I think parents don't understand their own children sometimes. Like if we get a bad grade on a test or something, they always seem to fuss but never see how our story is. They seem to never understand that we do try very hard to pass test or quizzes or whatever but they at the end of the day we still get fussed at. I also don't think they understand how we get aggravated when they are constantly calling us to do something or fussing at us about something that has absolutely no reason to fuss about! They think because they are the parents that they can just fuss just for the fun of it and because they can but I think that they are just to mean. My mother and sometimes my father understands me but sometimes they seem to NEVER understand my feeling or how school sometimes drives me crazy! I think sometimes they don't but sometimes if they take a moment they learn to listen and understand their kids a little more!=)
Parents just don't get it. They always try to protect us don't get me wrong that's what they suppose to do. Sometimes you just got to let your child grow up. Parents always seem to know everything.
If something bad happens in school they always listen to the wrong things. Some parents are good but some treat there children so bad. My parents are not like that.
My mother is like my best friend. I tell her everything. Well not everything just enough so she can understand what I'm going threw and how i feel. Some parents get it, Some don't. Parents need to get closer to there child so maybe they can get it. Don't fuss so much some kids are hurting inside. There parents doesn't have a clue because they choose not to.
Ha-ha. Where do I begin? Parents think they understand EVERYTHING. They have lots of advice, and they don’t hesitate to share it with you. Don’t get me wrong I love my parents but, after a while some of the things they do can get annoying. For instance, if you had a problem with school or something they act like it’s not a real problem at all. And if you complain about certain things that go on in your social life, they have little compassion. Parents also don’t understand half of the stuff I’m talking about. If I make a joke, nine out of ten times my mom won’t get the funny part. It’s so frustrating. Bottom line is times have changed since they were my age, and they need to stop denying it.
I think that parents don't understand because they never try to. I say this because from my point of view is that parents don't try to understand their children. This is because that parents spend their time reminiscing about "back in the day" and talking about how things where different when they where th same age we are,rather than stopping and listening to their children. I thinkn that parents should listen to their kids because we live in the present and we are fully aware what is going on in the world. This is why I think that parents don't understand.
I think my parents do understand things. My dad knows everything that goes on even if i don't tell him. Everyone says we acted just alike when he was a teen. He can always tell if I'm lying or when I'm up to no good.
I just got off restriction because my dad busted me with some "things i should have." My friends and I thought we could have a party at the cabin in the woods, but we got busted
