CAN YOU RELATE ?

Strict Parents

Understanding.

You understand that when you are younger; entering primary and secondary school phases, parents should be strict with you because you are still a child to them. You don't even know the meaning of life yet. All you know is learning and playing with friends. They know you are not at the level to confront the reality of life that's why they thought being a strict parent is a must to build you up into a person who can face reality without hitting on it hard or a true revelation of how difficult life is.

Tolerance.

Entering the teenage phase, you are what people say is 'young blood flow within you' You attempt to try new things you start to wonder if you can be responsible for your own life as you grow up and get maturity on a slight how reality lives. Then you tried to compromise with the parent if you can cut loose the rules a little bit. But sadly, they refuse strongly as they still think you are not capable to handle real life yet. You then try to tolerate it even though in your mind you profusely disagree with their opinion as you know yourself, you know how qualified you are to control things in life.

Lie.

Even as a grown-up teenager, entering the adult phase of life, you still can't manage to overtake your own life from your parents. You must obey all the rules set by them. Then you come up with a decision to escape your parent's grasp, and you started to lie. It then becomes a habit for you to tell untruth things because you have tasted the sweetness of escapade that live up your life, that colored your dull livelihood into the brightest hue you ever had.

I have been there and till now I can't escape to the fun of life yet while others can do whatever they want. The envious I felt every time I had to follow the rules is enormous, unbearable, and immeasurable. How I wish I was in their shoes, how I wish their parents is mine or my parents can be just like theirs. But set aside the envious, when I am entering the reality of life, then I know why and why parents must become strict with their children. The sun is not always sunny and bright. The urge for you to not fell into the trap that life lay up for you is what we called dedication and determination. As you know, somehow if you fell into that trap you will probably not survive because you know you. Parents just don't want you to jeopardize your own future for the flavourful of life that you only see the surface while under deep that serves a luring and dangerous lifestyle.
