A diary of Life (Part II)

Why do many teenagers and children do not obey their parents? Parents whose only thing they want is to bring their best to their children... Scientific research show that offsprings inherit their parent´s both dominant and recessive traits, so why are they always disobeying them or arguing with them if they are naturally and mentally similar to either their moms or dads? (refering to parents that make use of reason).

Children want everything that they see in their way from toys to real cars, or they may cry all day, but this is something natural, part of their human development. However, this is not the real problem that everyone, especially parents concern about, but their offspring´s unruly or rebellious character as they grow up, especially during their teens. According to most of them, parents should give them freedom as they grow and become young adults (approximately between 13-21 years old), or just when they feel they have the sufficient age to face society and to care themselves. There are a couple of anwers or refutations to this inmature argument. Firstly, people whose age fluctuate between 13 to 17 years are not citizens with majority of age, hence, they do not have the capacity to fight with life; sure some of them might, but not by legal matters. Summarizing this point, these group of appently "young adults" are under the custody of parents or an adult taking care of the offspring. Of course, it does not mean that parents control their lives, but son and daughter must comply with them, because they just want the best for them. Secondly, the fact is that respect (the typical example of a boy or a girl who goes out and returns home late) should must be shown throughout life and not when siblings become adults and could think in a mature way. Again, it is necessary to stress that we are refering to parents that make use of reason. In that way, these young adults or children, if do not agree with mom or dad, at least they must listen to them with a conciously manner, and when having difficult to come up to a decision, think of them for help... remember they are not only our parents, but also our friends, people who are always there taking care of us and willing to help us in any moment. In addition, communication is essential in every relationship. Our parents are willing to listen to us because they love us.
