Children, Obey Your Parents

Parents, they are the sole caretakers of their beloved children. They strive every living moment to care for, provide for, and to create a better life for their offspring. Most parents would prefer that their children follow the paths and guidance set forth by them. They teach and guide their children to the paths that they want them to follow, the paths that they believe is best for the future and well-being of their child. However in actuality, it is predominantly the child’s own decision to determine what their future holds. They may choose to follow the paths of their parents or perhaps even pave an entirely new road leading to their own destinies and dreams. Take the Wall’s family from Jeannette Wall’s memoir, Glass Castle, for instance. Even with

Are parents supposed to be there for their kids? Are parents supposed to guide their own kids in the right path? Yes. Parents have many jobs to do in their lives, like taking care and supporting their children, working a lot in order to run a family, and most importantly to be role models to their children. Parents after learning a lot through their own childhoods should be aware, and well aware of what to do and what not do. In addition, parents make their own mistakes in life and once they know how to get around it, they teach their own children to prevent them. However, parents tend to disagree with their own children, about values or fundamental choices in life; hence, controversies start to occur between them. Controversies can then

In the beginning of the day, the tug of war in my mind has started. I feel like I should always know what to do with myself and others, but at the end of the day I’m 18. It can be troubling and scary to be so beyond my years. I constantly find myself giving people, many times to whom is older than me, life advice. I find more pressure put on me by my family, my boss and myself. This pressure all started when I had to grow up quickly and, for a few years raised myself. When things in my life starting to get eventful was in third grade when my mom got remarried. This marriage didn't even have a honeymoon phase, and did not last long. Five years later, my mom and I were living from house to house out of one suitcase. She was deteriorating for the next few years. My first day of

My parent's might not agree with all the decisions that I make and may not support them, but they always let me do them. Whether it is to teach me a lesson or because it is a good decision. I have made a lot of mistakes and they have warned me about a few whether it was something I was doing, someone I was dating, and or something I was saying. I have said thing I haven't meant. I have done things that have gotten me in trouble. I have also dated people that were bad influences on me or with a bad back ground. But in the end I always learned from them.

Although many would believe that the bible promotes child abuse, in reality it encourages parents to love and simply discipline their

My mom is a very perceptive woman. She’s always had a way of explaining the world and the people within it. It came as a great shock to myself when I learned she was extroverted, as I had always known her to exhibit introverted mannerisms. I had assumed she would be the watchful and quiet one, but she’s usually the life of the party. That’s when I started to ask her about her life. She’s experienced enough things to warrant a jaded perspective of the world, yet she still holds some appreciation. I owe her much more than just giving her a mutual respect and completing my chores. I attribute my perspective on the world to my mom. My personality was shaped from her open mind and helped me find my passions in life. I’ve always had a strong sense of who I am, what I want to do in life. I know that I’ll always be welcomed back to her regardless of any mistakes I may

After interviewing my mother, she informed me that my grandparents often “agreed to disagree” or compromised on situations where they both held differing opinions. She also stated that marriages in their generation were seen as sacred, so her parents didn’t believe in divorce. No matter how difficult the situation may have been, they made it

Before you can truly love others, whether it’s your parents, or a boy or girl at that you are “dating” you have to accept yourself for who you are and love yourself. I have learned to accept myself and if I don't work hard to change it if it’s truly changeable. Then I accepted different things about my life and my beliefs.

From the moment we are put into our parents’ arms, they begin to shape our identity. Our appearance, thoughts and actions are developed from them and what they believe is “right” and “wrong.” However unfair as it may seem at times, everything done is based on their past experiences, the culture we are born into and ultimately done for our own well-being.

God’s word sets forth guidelines for training children and for discipling converts. I went to a public school that did not emphasize Christian guidelines, but I was diligently taught to keep God’s commandments at home. As a result, I was obedient for the most part in school because I had been taught to submit to

Every family has conflict. I believe how a family handles these conflicts determines a lot about the dynamics's of the family. For example, a child who grows up in a home where conflict is handled by violence will mature quite differently than a child who grew up in a home where conflict was handled by compromise and learning. In a real world example, my parents and I got in quite some conflict when I decided SDSU was where I wanted to attend college. The reason? My family lives in Alabama, which is almost two thousand miles away. I did not think there would be any issue when I told them I wanted to go to San Diego

When asked when it first hit her that she was on her own and was an adult. She said, “I first felt like an adult on the first day off college when my parents left. I felt like I had just been released into the wild and had to fight for myself. I learned a lot of life skills by myselfs. I was living by myself, defending for myself, cooking for myself, and just being alone”. This experience taught my mom to meet new people, teach herself life tricks, and helped down the road in

I envisioned my mom, always berating my sisters and me, always telling us, 'why couldn't we act as polite and friendly like her friends' children, be as talkative and successful like their kids. I recalled dreading going to any of her friends' house, it always leads to a lecture about 'why didn't we act this way", or smile, or do

When dealing with intimacy and autonomy, my parents approach the situation with different mindsets. My Dad emphasizes autonomy while my Mom emphasizes intimacy; these individual

On the contrary, seventy-five of the couples state they have positive relationships with their parents and in-laws after the marriage. The parents were overjoyed at their child’s decision.
