Everyone has relationships. Relationships with your boyfriends or girlfriends, relationships with your friends or relatives but the most intimate relationship which also demands the most attention in these ages is the one a child shares with his/her own parents.
This relationship is also very unpredictable. One second, you are laughing and kidding around with them and then next moment, it all ends up into a fight which was not foreseen. According to a lot of teenagers my age, their parents seem to have a lot of flaws. They lash out at any moment, make mountains out of mole hills, nag, scold, overprotect, ect... The list is endless. What they forget though, is that they themselves are not perfect too. I mean, come on! They are your parents! We don't understand the fact that when we end up hurt, emotionally or physically, they experience double the hurt. We are a part of them. They have the right to nag, scold and overprotect because they also love, care and pamper.
It's like we forget about all the things they did for us the moment we start to answer back to them. We shout, we taunt and we accuse them of multiple things. We remind them of their flaws. It's a vicious thing, this anger. It makes us an animal. We want nothing else but to win the argument against our parents at that moment even though we are wrong. I know the feeling completely, because at times, I turn into that animal.
I know it's hard to think of all this when we turn into that animal but we could at least try to tame it. And that is precisely what I am going to try the next time the animal tries to take over. I am never going to forget about all the sacrifices my parents made just so that I could have the best. It is said anything you do for your parents, it never meets up to what they did for you, not in a million years.
