When do you need your parents around the most?

high school deff. I dont know if I could have lived without my mom. drama is horrible in high school, getting girlfriend/boyfriends, making and losing friends. some kids say they hate their parents and dont need them but when something happens thats the first person they run to.

High school for sure. I’m still in high school and she travels all the time I maybe see her once a week. My sister moved out a year ago so I’m all alone…all the time. I wish I had someone to talk to who has experienced going through high school already and all the things that come with it

You’ll always need your parents lifelong - especially in the young formative years where they learn values, character, morals, how to treat others, etc. that will allow them to grow into quality adults.

I need my mom more in highschool than I did with primary school. Between Friendships,drama,boys,and just growing up in general,I dont know what I’d do without her there to help me through everything.

In high school… by far!

I need my mum more through first second third and forth year not as much the last two years of highschool though … because I want to be more independant

High school, me too, but I was a very delinquant teenager and my mom had no choice but to “give up” on me, she did her best. (I turned out ok though!), but she was always there when I needed her, and still is, and she’s the reason I didnt get into drugs or didnt hang out at the park at night when I was 13 years old. :) Good luck with that!

I see what you’re saying, but a single income family is simply not feasible anymore… Only the upper middle and upper classes can afford to survive on a single income. My guess is moms go back to work so that their kids can go to college…

I need my mum more when I am in high school. Times get emotional more now than primary school. If I didn’t have her…I would be pretty messed up right now, let me tell you that. Britz

Thats what I thought but so many parents go to work as soon as their kids hit 10-12 its not funny. I work too but I always drop them of and pick them up. Except for the odd occasion like last week when there was a death in the family of my boss.
