My relationship with my parents is the average relationship between a 17 year old and her parents. That is, on and off crankiness, silent treatments, having lots of fun, having lots of fun and then blowing it away because of a stupid argument over something stupid, etc. A lot of teenagers these days sometimes find it hard to get along with their parents.
When it comes to me and my parents, most of the time we’re pretty well off. But, of course, we get into a lot of arguments. Being my age, I’m not the little baby my parents used to have when I was little. Now I tend to get in bad moods when I don’t need to and I have to say I am mean to them a lot. I know I can control it, but sometimes it all just spills out. The problem is that when my parents make me mad, I just hold in the anger or hurt. But when it comes to another situation where there is tension between us, the anger just comes out.
My dad is getting old. Although he is as active as someone maybe 20 years younger, I can’t be getting into many arguments with him like I used to. My older sisters always tell me to try and get along with our dad no matter what so no problems occur. My dad has always been good to me and when we get into big arguments, I always feel guilty in the end because I know I started the whole thing by being rebellious. Sometimes it’s normal for teenagers my age to be mean to their parents. I’m at the age where I don’t agree with my parents the most. It started when I was about 16, but I’m heading toward 18, and I’m starting to grow out of it.
With my mom, since we’re both women, we get into different kinds of arguments. We get along most of the time, but again, I am sometimes mean to her. I get into different arguments with my mom than I do with my dad. My mom and I have “women” things to argue about. I’m turning into an adult, and now is the time where I need her the most; to help me start off at a good place to start becoming an adult.
I am trying my best now to keep in all my anger and not let it out on anybody, especially my parents. I’m heading off to college and I don’t want to go away thinking about how I left my parents unhappy because of a stupid argument that didn’t need to happen. I tend to take things too far when I disagree with my parents and this is coming to an end. Soon I’m going to be away from them for a long time and I don’t want to be far away from them with this sort of tension between us.
My parents mean more to me than I can put into words and I have to prove that I deserve them as my parents. My dad just got home from a long trip and I am going to show him that I’ve changed. I’m going to get along with him and I’m going to show him that I will not be arguing with my mom either. I know we will get into disagreements, but I have to tell myself to handle things in an adult like manner. Becoming an adult means having to act like an adult. My parents are adults so I’m going to show them that I am becoming an adult too.
