fellow teens, when will parents ever learn?

Question

we teens can be very easy to get along with if they ask instead of command. most of the time if they ask us not to do something we'll listen, but if they tell us not to, we want to do it more!

why do they think we go to our room? for them to constantly ask us what were doing.NO! we want to chill out and be alone!

and what is up with "you need to tell us everything"? its our lives, long as we're not doing drugs or drinking, its realy none of their buissiness. if you tell them, they forget ten minutes later anyways!if we want to tell them something,we will

and why do they get mad when we actually tell them our problems?! would they rather they know or let us do it BEHIND their back.

and whats with "your under 18, you don't deserve privacy" its not like all teens are pot heads! its our stuff so you can't go through it!

and whats with them taking stuff away! whether or not they bought it, once its given, its wrong to take away! how would they like to get stuff taken away!

fellow teens, do you agree?

You're going through the same phase that every other teen goes through. I went through it, and now I realize how silly I was being. They are your parents and you live in their house. They have every right to know what is going on in your life and what you are doing. And yes, they can go through your stuff. And they can take away whatever they want. If they bought it, it's theirs. It doesn't matter if it's in your possession or not.

And I may not be a "teen", but I'm only 20. So it's not like it was that long ago for me.

my moms the same way and i feel the same way and the trick is having comebacks that push youre parents with out pushing them over the edge for example when my mom orders me to do something i say im sorry i couldnt hear you over the sound of the dictational bull **** and when she says i gotta tell her everything i state the human rights and privacy acts both say my privacy needs to be respected and i never signed anything saying i had to talk to her about my problems. at the same time though you do owe your parents the respect of letting them know about big things in your life, since they do want to see youre sucess i smoke weed and i didnt tell my mom when i started but when she started suspecting it i was honest with herand she may not like it but she does realise its my life find out how far you can push your parents and find appropriate comebacks

It's because they went through it that they're so cautious. If it bugs you that much, work 2 jobs, get emancipated and move out. Other than that, DEAL WITH IT. :)
