I have to say...
Parents sometimes really don't know how to appreciate us
Neither do they understand us
This is not a generalisation, nor is it being rebellious
Just a point I realise, and wish to point out
And I kind of wish someone would tell the parents in the world
Someone with the authority, or someone whom understands
As their children, I don't deny the fact that we have a duty to be filial to our parents
To listen to them, to do what they say, and to give them respect
Afterall, they are more experienced than us, older than us
But thats where they will go wrong
Arrogance perhaps, or just stubbornness
Parents often don't understand what's really going on
Generation gaps and mindsets fix them at their own time
They don't realise how teenagers are changing
Nor they know the things we go through
They take for granted the things we do
They expect us to be filial to them just because we are their children
Yes we will, it's what we have to do, it's what we ought to do
But parents have to realise we do put in the effort to be filial as well
We do have our own sacrifices just so we can do the things they want
But in the end, do they recognise our efforts, do they see it?
Some don't, and they complain, they nag, they think we just make things worse for them
I really don't understand, and I hate it
I just feel that parents should not take their children for granted
They ought to feel lucky, and appreciate the fact that at least we bother to put in the effort
It's not just them spending the energy and time raising us up
We are also making the extra effort and time to repay them for everything
But it doesn't mean they can just take it for granted
The sucky life of being a teenager
But its things we have to suck up
No one wants to be labelled as unfilial, no one wants to disgrace the family
I just feel that parents have to bring down their "status" and see from our point of view
We need appreciation, we need the support from them
We need them to know that we care, and we really try our best to make them happy
But its a point for me to learn... To not make the same mistakes when I become a parent in the future
My heart just hurts.... real badly...
