New Insight

Life is full of learning new ideas and life lessons. As I grow, I find that my nuclear family is also growing. They are constantly learning and relearning new ideas and lessons. Believe it or not, I have taught my parents new things. It is ironic because parents are suppose to teach and guide us through life. My parents to me are pretty young, and somewhat strict. They constantly pay attention to me and my sister. They don't allow us to go to parties, and they are constantly restricting my sister. To me they seem very overprotective, especially, my mom. I know she is concerned with my sister's welfare and everything. Anyways, every year so far my mom always has a big argument with my sister that makes her call our grandparents for input. But every year, my mom becomes less strict. Since my mom is no longer strict, she lets us live life, and learn right from wrong. She will tell us that smoking and drinking is bad, but she knows that will make us curious about it. So, she gave up telling us what is right and wrong, so we can learn for ourselves. I think people have to start learning what is right and wrong at a young age in order to go through life with success without their parents. I definitely believe that parents should tell us the consequences of doing "bad" things, and use their life experiences to give examples of what happened when they did drugs or skipped class. However, teens and kids will become curious no matter what parents say. Some might proceed with caution in doing bad things, but they will learn later on in life by themselves.
I know my sister and mom, no matter what problems arise, will continue to argue, but will learn from those arguments. They will continuously reshape their actions, attitudes, and their demeanor. Also, my mother will use different approaches to teach my sister wrong from right.
