combination for disaster

Why do parents always have to be right? Ok, I can understand that they don't want to be proven wrong by someone younger and less mature then them. But what about as a person? Does age really matter when it comes down to it. Why, according to parents, does age have to influence respect? I don't understand why there can't just be a communal respect between both parents and children. A respect that lets us confront each other about our past, present, and future without getting someone else’s views forced down our throats. Being honest is one of the most important things to me. So when I come back to a house where people deal with their problems by sweeping them under the carpet, excuse me for getting a little whirlwinded. All in all, I guess yea, I did inherit some character traits from my parents but a lot of who I am today is because of things that have happened to me, and how IIIIIIII dealt with them, not how my parents dealt with them. I am the only one living my life, and I guess I just really don't understand how my parents can't respect that.

I love and respect my parents so much, and am so grateful for all the good things they have done for me. I guess I just need them to realize that they can’t change me, because they have been trying for like 5 years. I think it is about time that they give up.

I feel like I'm acting like a brat right now. My parents do so much for me... or is it for them? *slaps self in head*
