I’m fighting with my mom a lot. What should I do?
Born Bad
Dear Born Bad,
Sometimes our parents don’t understand that we must grow. Sometimes they don’t want to let us go because they are scared. The world outside is very mean and dangerous so if your mom is holding a tight grip it’s because she cares. Now, if you, on the other hand, are trying to demand your independence by being disrespectful, rude, or deceitful, then you are not being fair either. Sometimes our friends take precedence, meaning we think they are more important, than our parents; but friends come and go, family is there through thick and thin. So what should you do? Be honest and open about what you want to do. The more you parent thinks you can be trusted, the more they will trust you with being independent. You must earn it. If you are always getting into trouble than you cannot be trusted to make your own decisions. Your mom may be saving you from yourself; meaning she may see you headed in the wrong direction and she will not sit by and allow you to destroy yourself or your future. Tell your mom that you love and appreciate her. As a mom, I know how it feels do to all that I have for my family and feel taken for granted. It’s not a good feeling. So remember, tell your mom how you feel and ask her how you two can work things out. It takes two to argue and two to get along.
