How to I get my parents to leave me alone?

what is a jugglette???

new generation lingo, I guess…

Most parents do what they do and say what they say because the care about what happens to their children. Some children listen, others don’t. Some follow rules, others don’t. Some care, Some don’t.

One thing for sure, they won’t always be around, one day, soon and very soon, you will be on your own. The world is a big place, and it is not always an easy place to live in, regardless of the fact that all 13 & 14 year olds think so. Believe it or not, your parents were one day, 13 & 14 years old, just like you are now. Can you imagine what it must have been like, when they were your age? Can you picture their life? What about their parents, do you think that maybe they might have said the same thing to them, that your parents are saying today to you? I understand it would be about different things, but, a parents job, is not easy, and they have the decidedly unpopular job of trying to prepare a young person for life in the adult world. A world that they have already experienced. Given the fact that most parents love their children, and really do care about what happens to them, this is not an easy thing to do. God, however, thought them capable of the task, or he would never have created them able to have children. He also, holds them accountable, for how they raise their children. So… if they happen to be Christian, then, they know this, and have to try to learn Gods principals first, then to be able to apply them to their lives and that of their children. You, at 13, can’t possibly understand what this is like for them. There is a generation gap, in every family. And the only way to bridge that gap, is by much talk, and love, and forgiveness, and understanding to take place in the household. And given the fact that most families are constantly on the go, there is precious little time for “family talk”, nowdays. So, most children pick up what they know, from their peers, because they spend more time with them, than they do with family. Enivitably, teens lean more toward what their peers think, advise, and do, than they do toward family. Somehow, they find family, and guidelines, to be “uncool”, so, they choose to ignore, or reject completely, some or most of what they are taught. The daily news and the national tv stations, tell us what happens after that. And, I understand that not all kids get into trouble, but, many do… and most, are because they either did not have family that loved them enough to care about what they did, or they did, and they choose to ignore what family had to say. We all fall into one of these categories, the question is, which one, and where will we be 10 years down the road. Fast forward a bit, and visualise your life. See what you allow and don’t allow, how you are going to support yourself, and what your plans are, and then, look back over them, and see if these plans are realistic, if not, you might want to go back to the drawing board, and listen a little more, and perhaps learn some more coping skills. Look around online, and listen to others, 10 years older than you are, and see how they are faring. It can be an eye opener indeed. Place yourself in their shoes, and see how they fit. See how they related to their parents, or if they even had any parents. Then go back and relook at your own situation, you might see it differently. God Bless…
