What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me too, Salvanas-kun :)

I know, some kids can be really stubborn and rebellious sometimes. *If* you have parents who really care for ya, it's only natural for them to get angry at you if you do something wrong. Of course, it's only out of love that they do that. And if you really care for the in return, you should be there when they're down and unwell. Be mature and let them vent some of their frustrations on you for fear of them doing something more drastic. As kids, our parents had brought us into such a magnificent world. So although they ARE still resonsible for us, we wouldn't know any of our friends if they hadn't given birth to us ^_^ I believe if there's a misunderstanding between a parent and a kid, both will be in the wrong. It takes two hands to clap, and one to give in. If both see one another in each other's shoes, I'm sure authority barriers will be broken down and they'll be able to communicate much better.

Lol, parents have obviously done the same thing... Then after a while, they feel really sorry and guilty for what they've done. The problem is, both refuse to admit their wrongs and hence, the tension can't go away. *sigh* The key is mutual trust and understanding between a parent and a child, and not questioning the actions of the other party all the time. That will just make matters worse and cause distrust. If your parents are good to you, forgive and forget, like what they'd do. After all, tomorrow's another day :D

Yeah. I understand. I guess it's all in the relationship between the parent and the child.

reading through several pages of this thread, it's obvious that personal experiences with our parents can tremendously shape our attitudes toward them...that is, if ur parents are good to u, u tend to respect them...if ur parents are bad to u, u tend to disrespect them...it's just like a cause-and-effect thing...

as for me, i will try to answer the question with a question...If I become a parent someday, would i like my kids to respect me? Definitely YES! So i try hard to respect my parents even if they may not have been providing me with the best care, the best advice, the best life that money could buy...cuz they're the only parents i've got...I don't want my 'future' kids to remember me hating my parents cuz' they may hate me as well for that...for i'm pretty sure, i also won't be able to provide the best for them even if i want to...

btw, coolnard...for such a young person, u're comments are so full of wisdom!!! u sure u are only 17???? he he...*kidding*....:vsign:

CoolNard 04-13-2007 04:55 PM

Btw, I love what you said, better than any of us. You said everything I wanted to in just one sentence! :eek:

kokunin 04-13-2007 05:09 PM

, but if you consider it this way...what if they demanded your respect just because they pay for stuff and think that's love... nvm...all's well that could end well...hopefully anyway...


coolnard, your like an old man...Ojiisan...lol...

CoolNard 04-13-2007 05:12 PM

Then if you have an alternative, ask someone else to adopt you - someone who actually cares. But if you can't,then i dont think you have much of a choice...

Lol, that's funny, kokunin, yeah, I can sound like a really old man when I'm debating :mtongue: But just catch me on a regular basis around here and I'm as cool as everyone else :cool:

kokunin 04-13-2007 05:30 PM

except for that sig...if you turn your computer and walk backwards it stares at you and then if you move a foot to the right or left IT STARES AT YOU!!!

I'm 18 now, it doens't matter, but all that work and patience just for the same thing...lol i feel like that mom who starved her own child...you just don't know...

Hmm.. I don't 'respect' my parents 100%, cause I won't stand in for everything they do or say. If I did respect them, I wouldn't have gone get pierced, though they told me not to and stuff like that.

As a 16-yearold I think it's difficult to respect ur parents whole heartedly. Both physically and emotionally ur in a riot, trying to figure out the meaning and life etc. etc. therefore I think it's quiet normal not to respect and agree with ur parents.

I don't see my father as my father, when he's not around for a while. Then he just seems like a friend, coming over for a meal, taking off at the end of the weekend.

kokunin 04-17-2007 02:02 AM

lol...I was confused...I think you might be right...lol

natural instinct? I don't know. I guess it depends on how you're raised. Or...
it could be that you were already born to respect or disrespect them.
because they can be the meanest parents and the kid respects them.
or they can be nicest parents and the kid totally disrespects them.
I'd say it's the child's environment that makes the choice of how he/she will treat their parents.

I respect my mom....
even tho she yells at me....
I don't yell back.
even tho, she calls to tell crap me out....
I give her a few days and she's herself again.
It's boring to hear her repeat the things she did when she was little.
I still listen to them
I guess I treasure her...
because she's been my only friend thru thick and thin.
