Is it just me, or do your parents always go on about your future?
I don't see why, It's my future. Not theirs!
They're always like, 'Whatever you do now will reflect in the future'.
I guess it's true but they don't let us learn from our own mistakes.
We have to learn from theirs.
My dad is the worst, everything i do is his business.
It's like, if i get one bad grade on a report he goes all out
Starts saying that there is always room for improvement.
It's not like i don't already know that
He tries to get a perfect life through me
My mum just lets me get on with life
She isn't bothered as long as I try hard.
She lets me learn from my mistakes, as long as i do actually learn.
I know she is always there to catch me when or if I fall!
Mum rocks.
So just remember everyone......
Learn from your own mistakes
Do what you wanna do
Live your life to the full
Try your hardest and....
Ignore your parents! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
That way life should be great! !
It's not just you Becky, when I was a teenager I could see alot of the faults in my parents also. Like you I tried to ignore them, but sometimes even you can be helpfull to them by pointing out their faults. they may thank you for doing so.

Some Indians would say, you chose them! ! You're in this together, girl! Tell it to them straight and maybe they'll do the same for you.
