How many teenagers "REALLY" appreciate their mothers?

it's not until you're an adult yourself, or a parent yourself, that you really appreciate your own parents and all the sacrifices they made for you. Part of being a teenager is being selfish, self centred, pushing the boundaries and rejecting authority - and making your parents worry. . It's part of growing up and becoming independantParents know this - they used to be teenagers themselves! I'm sure if your mum was around now she'd be very proud of you, despite everything you put her through while you were growing up.

Every teenager s their mother at some point of their life(there are few exceptions). But deep inside they know that the only reason WHY they are here is because of their mom. And when they grow up and have a great life, they realize that they wouldn't be where they are without their mom.

I am not a teenager but i have always loved my mother I did some bad things but not anything that was out of this world. Me and my mother are very close, all our family is.

I would say until they mature. I am 19 about to turn 20, and have a 1 year old daughter. I appreciate my mom now. When I was in highschool I treated her so harshly, I can't even imagine how my little beautiful baby will be when she is in highschool.

I really started to appreciate my mom when i had my daughter. i started to realize how a bond would be between us and how much i love her.And with the love i know i have for my daughter makes me love my mom more each day because i now know mother to mother how much love you can have for your child.even when they do wrong to the point you want to kill'em,there's always this love there to help.I am 18 and my daughter is only a month.

I guess it ultimately depends on how much of a mother the mother is to her child. That often determines the amount of respect they get from their children if that helps. Mothers that don't care or do their JOB as a parent often don't get any respect. Hope that helps!

To begin with a lot of teenagers take their parents for granted and dont show them how much they appreciate them. Your situation reminds me alot about the situation with my parents. I havent talked to my mom in much since I moved out. Its natural to regret something like this but not good. Having regrets is natural to have but dont let this bother you for the rest of your life.

Think more about the happy times you had with your mom, the fun things you did with her. Do you think your mom would want you to be feeling like this. She loved you a lot, and I bet she would want to see you like this. Be positive and think of all the times, the happy time you had with her.

As for teenagers most of them can be uncaring about their parents and dont really show how much they love them. In my opinion most young teens take parents for granted and dont really appreciate them until their dead or they move out.

of course, but do you remember when you were been advise by your mom, like don't do this and don't do that....and what did you did,,...not listen, not worry, don't care....but now that she is dead, now you feel sorry and would like to do something about it.....too late on that, but if you have kids, try to understand them....because you were once in their shoes.....so if they don't listen to you, or behave like if they don't care, or don't worry....then just remind yourself that you were like them....but you can let them know how you feel about what you would like have done to your mom if you could it just listen to your mom.....Remember that life and time, will give us, experience, sooner or later...but we have to learn from our mistakes to do better and the best for others, specially our family members....take care and dont worry, your mom is dead and like the bible states:For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

(Eclesiastes 9:5)...but remember that you can see her again...not in heavens, but here on earth since there is going to be a resurrection of all the dead people who we missed a lot....(John 5:28,29) Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

Everyone regrets, or should.

It is just part of becoming an adult, learning to have your own opinions, etc.

If you didn't go through that phase, you would be living in mum's basement the rest of your bloody life.

Teenager's dont appreciate anything until they are adults and come to the realization that they don't know half of what they think they do.
