Parents!!!

Are you getting tired and annoyed with parents constantly bothering you about everything thats happening in your life? I know I am. Ever since I was little, my parent's were so overprotective of me and would do everything in their power to spy on me. They claim it was for my own good........yet I disagree because I told them there is never a guarentee that you will be safe. I tried to tell them that no matter how hard you or I try to protect overselves from bad things that happen in this world, the reality is different.

Life is full of hardships and difficulty. But, it's how we respond to those hardships that make the difference. If you view hardships as something that is unnecessary, then you will not mature and learn. I view hardships as a way to get experience........and an opportunity to learn. Experience is important because it makes you wise and strong. This why some people regard experience as the "greatest teacher" in this world. I agree with that saying because it is true in many forms.

I tried to explain to my parents that I need to have experience in life in order for me to learn and grow. Just as they have had experience in their life........I need to have my own types of experience. People experience things differently and in a variety of ways. Just because something bad happened to you.......doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen to everyone. Some are just luckier than others and others are not. Yet the unlucky ones also benefit because once again........they are getting experience.

Despite my parent's objections to certain things.....I continue to live my life and have my own types of experience; in time my parents learned to accept that fact and they stopped being too overprotective of me. I appreciate the fact though, that they care and are concerned about me, which I'm sure all parents are. But when it's time to let go......they need to let go. This doesn't mean that your going too cut off all ties with them, it just means that they have to trust us now whether they like it or not.
