I'm not his perfect kid

Mactan-246 (8/31/2009 5:47:03 AM)

Its reminds me of me and my dad,we had God times when i was still 6,when my sister was born next year,Me and my dad keeps on shouting at me,when i was 12 we throw a fork at me and poured water at my face and slap at me just to answer a yes or no question,then when i was 14,it went bad to worse.8,10,12 and 14 was the worst years of my life.Right now i wish I get to run away from them at forget them,never see there f*****g face ever again,I hate my family.I wish they leave me alone

at one time or another everyone goes through it but just gotta deal

I was deeply touched when I first heard this song on "KIIS FM" back in the Fall of 2003, when it was in its peak of popularity. I think that both parents and children need to meet each other halfway and grow in love, respect and understanding for one another. It seems to me that the lead singer of "Simple Plan" wanted to start up a band and be the lead singer, but his father frowned upon it. His dad SHOULD'VE been supportive of his choice, because what he's doing is bringing him joy and fulfillment and giving him a chance as an artist to grow in his own unique way. As long as what your child wants to do with his or her life is legal and productive, you as a parent should accept this. Yes... on the one hand, we do want to gain the respect and acceptance of our parents, but if going down that road is contrary to what we are gifted with or "born to do," then it's time to do what will ultimately make you happy and content and fulfilled. At times, it ISN'T possible to DO BOTH; it's either ONE or THE OTHER. Also - our battles with our parents are not isolated only for teenage (adolescent) years as the video suggests, but throughout one's lifetime. You can still struggle to gain the love, respect and support of your parent(s) even as a mature, responsible adult. I say, ALWAYS put God first and consult him in all of your decisions. Also - do what makes you happy! Use your parents' advice & words of wisdom as a reference, but still be man or woman enough to make your own decisions. That's my $10s worth for today. Ha ha ha ha ha!!

hey ONEWHOKNOWS if you didnt like the song thats all ya had to say. you didnt have to go into some long paragraph about why. but bythe way.... WE KNOE WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH OUR DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. THANKS FOR TELLIN US STUFF WE ALREADY KNOE WE ONLY GET TO BE YOUNG ONCE SO I KNOE MOST OF US ARE GONNA LIVE THAT SHORT TIME TO THE FULLEST. AND WE LIVE AND DONT REGRET THINGS BECAUSE MAYBE THOSE THINGS YOU DID YOU MAY THINK ARE STUPID NOW BUT AT ONE TIME EVEN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT WE WANTED AND WE WANTED TO DO WHATEVER IT WAS SO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST CUZ SOMETIMES YOU DONT GET ANY SECOND CHANCES TO START OVER OR GET THE SAME KIND OF OPPORTUNITIES.

My dad and I were always at each other. Ever since I was 10, he and I were always fighting. I was ALWAYS failing... When I was 17, I went into therapy and found that I had some fairly massive anger issues and every one of my issues was directed right back to my dad. I am 36 now... I realized quite some time ago that even though there seemed to be more hate than love in our relationship, he never wanted me to be less that he knew I could be. Your parents are no different. I am far less than I should be. Not because I chose to be but because I chose to ignore my parents. They only want more for you than they have. You know, several of you are saying that you are doing the best you can. Are you? Really? I doubt it. If you are or even if you are not, consider this...have you ever even thought if your parents are doing the best they can? We learn to be parents through our parents and now, as a parent of two children, a director of a youth basketball league and a youth sponser for high schoolers, I realize that teens these days care far less about themselves than we did when I was your age. GROW UP! All of you complain yet you do nothing to grow. You blame everyone else for your problems yet the person you should blame is looking at you in the mirror. Respect yourselves! Girls - cover yourselves! Boys - pull your damn pants up! Not a one of you respects yourselves at all! All you want is attention! Well, you got it and we as parents will do everything in our power to make your teens years miserable until you grow up and realize how ridiculous you are acting! Boys - and I am purposely saying boys since not a one of you is old enough in body or mind to deserve the name men - the "pants pulled down" look you little children wear is a homosexual billboard. Did you know that? It originated in the California prison system by prisoners that were advertising thier willingness to take it from other prisoners. You guys are COOL! Morons! Are you seriously thinking that anyone in their right mind would respect you? Girls, no one wants to see a 15 year olds chest. Then you wonder why boys are pigs. You advertise sex by wearing next to nothing...even to church! If you aren't a slut, stop dressing like one! Parents do care. Maybe not all of them but most of them. I can only speak from my own experience. They do the best they can and when it seems they are asking too much or they do not care or understand, consider taking a good look at yourself before blaming them. The problem may not be with them, it may be with you. Your teen years will last a grand total of 7 years. The rest of your life will last a lot longer. Ask yourself one question...is being an idiot for 7 years worth 30, 40, 50 even 60 years of misery? It's not....and I do understand... I came to this site to listen to this tune and saw your comments. I really hate to see anyone waste away because they want to rebel against their parents. Don't do it for them...do it for you. Forget what your parents say...be a better person and a better citizen for you, not for them...that is all they are trying to teach you. They don't have to live with your decisions...you do.
