From generation to generation each parent has pushed their children to excel in as many ways as possible. Some say it is because parents try to live their lives through their children’s success is that true? Personally I think that every parent wants to see their teens at their best to set an example for those who never got the opportunity to be where you are and for those who never will. But do our parents actually think about the amount of pressure we go through to maintain the standards expected.
Parents expect their teens to:
·
Maintain excellent grades
·
Set an example for those around us
·
Act responsible and be well behaved
· Honesty and trust
·
To receive special honors in extra curricular activities
- Parents expect teens to maintain certain high standards in school, not knowing the friends teens are surrounded by and the pressure they face during those school hours for acceptance.
- In order for them to gain acceptance, society forces teens to go against being responsible and honest.
- Irresponsible and dishonest behavior leads to a lack in extra curricular activities and lower results
- In the process teens loose almost each moral and value they have believed in just to create a status. Read More

In most situations parents do not understand the daily stress a teen goes through just to be accepted as a normal individual in
today’s modern society. Whether it is the most popular boy or girl or the
average teen that is being bullied and called a nerd, every child sits with the
mindset that what they are doing is seen as completely normal. Teens forget
their image and purpose and are stuck between pleasing their parents and fitting
in with the outside world and its teenage customs. On a personal level it is
not easy to fit in because you have to be someone you are not just to be appreciated.
As a young person we all have different experiences of how we survived in this
world filled with peer pressure form all angles. Read More

We all know what it feels like not to be understood by our parents due to their life styles being completely different from ours. It is quite sad that only a few parents take the time to understand.
ReplyDeleteits part of a growing up process and i thot they gave me a hard time but now that i'm grown i understand thatt they were just being great parents
ReplyDeletewow michell I feel so happy because this is true parents do live their dreams through their kids for instance if your dad wanted to be a doctor he will make sure that you become what he wanted to be and yes I also agree that parents sometimes do this because they want the best for us.
ReplyDeleteYes but the sad thing is that they sometimes do not see that what they think is the best for us, is the things that is actually distroying us. Or is completly just what we do not want for our lives
Deletei agree with what you are saying, at the end of the day we are our parents reflection, at the end of the day they want us to successed
ReplyDeleteI think our parents do not really understand what we go through in our daily life, they just want everything to be perfect in thier families and there's no such. We have our own views about the world they must understand that.
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a nice and inspiring piece of writing I have to say. Yes Michell peer pressure is there and a lot teens face difficulties and some how are struggling to deal such things. I have always believed in doing things my own way for I believe that I need not to please anyone. If you believe in yourself then I think it will be easy to stand against anyone who may try to bully you. And I think talking about your difficultis with your parents is the best thing you could do as a teen, you gowing up. I could tell you from my experience that talking with my mother has made her to even understand me more, because she can tell when I'm not happy and when I'm happy for instance. Yes they may not understand but someone else can be able to understand. I say teens and young adults should learn to speak their minds when it is necessary and hey parents are people and also have gone through the same path.

ReplyDeleteI think that our parents are putting too much pressure on us because they do not want us to become like them, by repeating the same mistakes they did. Some parent puts pressure on their children because the want them to become like them if your mother is a nurse than you should also be a nurse while you want to persuade your own dreams and live.
ReplyDeleteI love the second picture you placed because it expresses the role of a parent and the attitude of a teenager. Sometimes parents can go about the wrong way of communicating to their children by shouting or by assuming that you are too young to think for yourself, but I also believe parents want their teens at their best.Pressure from school and friends is only the begining of the kind of pressures we will experience in our workplace from future bosses, suppliers and employees. Its hard going through pleasing your friends and family but I believe its just a challenging ground where you find your true values, attitude to take in areas of life and become the independent, tough person parents try to make us out to be.
ReplyDeleteyes parents want to see their children doing good things and performing well, they take it as if they are protecting their childrens dreams and ambissions but myb they are over doing it
ReplyDeleteI think parents have to be more understanding when coming to their teenager,because this are the sensetive bulb,they have to be very careful when addressing a teenager concerning certain issues.
ReplyDeleteParents should let their children discover their own lives, although we respect them they shouldn't live our lives and give us pressure, But oh well I gues they will change.
ReplyDeleteYes parents sometimes forget that with modern age comes change and free will is something that is very important to a teens life, but of corz it comes with responsibility.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is that we may not live trying to fulfil somebody else's dreams or desires. Parents tend to think that since they did not achieve while they had to a chance, then they want us to follow their paths. I think good communication with parents gives children a chance to a number of things because they discover who they are.
ReplyDeleteit is funny how our parents act like they were born with a teenager..i mean they know all about the teenage life, because, they have been there themselves, the main problem is our parents will not allow us to grow..in thier eyes you still that young girl/boy they raised 16 years ago
ReplyDeleteall parents want the best for their children, but one mistake parents do is that they want to not pave but control the life of their kids, e.g they want to choose a career that their kid must take not considering what the kid wants to pursue or do.
