Needs subtitles. It needs to learn to open its mouth when it speaks
It's cute how people with zero life experience think they can dictate how life works. And comparing the plights of workers who are exploited everyday by greedy, out of touch company management, is not remotely close to the realities of raising and rearing of children.
That wasn’t your first mood swing! My toddler has them all the time 😂
Hey teen, you do know your parents were teens and they have been through all the teen years and know exactly what it is like to be a teen. Just saying.
Just stay calm and let them cry or say stuff. Don’t take those things personal, and know that the mods swing will be over soon.
So who’s the parents the kids or the parents??? I’m confused!
Every teen watching this is sad rn bc of life currently and they have strict parents that u can’t discuss anything w let’s be hon I’m 1 of them hon I might go back into depression Icl all bc of my parents
We all know if our parents:
1. Don’t care about our feeling
2. Child abuse
3. Strict rules
4. Threatens
We r obv going to break that not bc we want to do it but to get revenge by not listening bc we know we can’t do nothing
Smart-Teen.
Love and logic. Works well…
I want to be the "listening" parent but it is "like pulling teeth" to get anything out of her.
I went through some traumatic experiences that got between us. I didn't want her to be around me and see me in this traumatized and fearful way.
She's 15 now and the last time I was in her life on a daily basis has been since she was 8.
I don't know if I or we will ever be able to repair or heal our relationship. It tears me up inside.
Prayers up that I haven't done irreparable damage. She used to be such a joyful spirit and now she seem closed in and off.
I keep hearing that it could just be the age… but I still feel full of guilt and shame and worry. Which in of itself is not helping. I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and take action! But what? How?
Any advice is welcome 🙏
Why would any parent watch this? 🤔
When a child tells a parent how to raise a child, this is called role reversal. This is a very well known term in Mental Health therapy.
And there’s nothing good that EVER comes out of such situation.
This talk may appeal to teens. In fact, check out the comments below 🤣🤣
Kiddos, a couple of things for you to ponder on:
Your parents were teens once, they know how you think.
You have never been parents – wait till YOU raise your own teens… then you’ll understand your parents.
please learn how to respect the authority of your parents. It may serve you well when you get a job and decide to TELL your boss how to treat you. You will have a lot less trouble in life understanding that the real world can’t care less about your opinions.
You can’t change anyone except yourself. Start with changing your attitude!
Every game has its rules. You want to have fun, play by the rules. (I bet you don’t like when others cheat). Who sets the rules? 🤷🏼♂️
When you earn enough to pay your bills, you can start setting the rules or even play your own game. Until then – you are CHILDREN (regardless of your age!).
Read “Lord of the Flies “ to understand what I am talking about.
Parents, your job is to set limits and boundaries to protect your children. Not the other way!
Amazing insight I wonder what you will be like when your a parent, hold onto these values xxx
The mood swings. I learned to be calm at the moment and wait until getting to my car or my garden to weep. It’s hard on the parent when some of us are highly sensitive adults.
This didn’t really provide that much insight at all
Which is the test to determine if your teen is slow?
<3 Teenagers have outgrown their childhood, so we can't treat them like children (which they certainly don't want!). Yet, they aren't adults either. It's a strange in-between phase.
Parents are also learning and kudos to them trying even taking parenting books or seeking help from Life Coaches.
Hi. I'm looking to work with 5 families inside my new pilot program that helps their teens build confidence and create successful habits.
It's free in exchange for your honest review if you receive value.
Kindly reply here for details.
I can't even present to the class let alone this…
