My parents are easy going, just sometimes they need to shut up.
From a young age, my mom always said "if you want that then get a job. When you get a job, and make your own money you can buy whatever you want." Sure enough, I did. At 14 years old, I was working at a local pizza shop, Pizanoz. My parents like that I had a job because I made money. But as soon as I started getting paychecks and going shopping and buying ridiculous things, I was bugged about that again. Shut UP! First I need to get a job to buy myself things. Second when I do I get lectured. I just don't get it. And when I get a job, my mom keeps telling me that I should enjoy my life and not work so much- I have the rest of my life to work. Work has been a part of my life for sometime now and I cant just quit. Shut UP! So they tell me to grow up and I do and then they want me to be a child again. Too late.
When I started dating my boyfriend Freshmen year, I had to get picked up early. It was almost like ten o'clock would roll around and my parents would be on their way to get me. Sophomore year I had a car, so I was able to stay until curfew. Now I understood this that I need to be home by twelve for curfew. But when my boyfriend moved down the street Junior year and I'm allowed to be out after curfew just not with my car, my parents still want me home! Shut UP!! Finally, now that I'm 18 and a Senior, I have no curfew. Now my parents have no reason but I still get yelled at. I don't care because they are ridiculous but its just funny how they don't want me to grow up yet its happening, and its been happening for a long time. I'm very mature and it scares them. But it scared me having to get a job so young, so SHUT UP parents. Think about what you tell your kids before its too late. Once innocence is lost in our "real" world, its gone.

I agree with you on all these statements because i had the same experience when i got an job and i was making money. Soon later my parents said that i don't need to work as much because you have your whole life to work and other stupid things my parents say. I think if your mature mentally there shouldn't be an age requirement.
i think it's annoying too how parents, and society in general, want us to grow up (by getting a job, etc.) and then we start acting older it's like they freak out and can't handle it anymore. I don't understand it either =/
Hey Michelelelele,
I want you to read that article in the reader that I handed out. The article titled "Putting Teen-parent conflicts into perspective". I didn't assign it, but it talks a lot about the things that irritate you, but it explains those things from a sociological perspective. So it might help you have a soc imagination about the whole issue and you may blame your parents less and just see that our society is set up to be difficult. Let me kknow what you think after you read it.
