parents are overrated.

Everyone says that parents can never be wrong. They are always perfect. They are always right. As a kid i was told what they felt was wrong was wrong for me too, its like you got to follow them blindly. As we grow up , majority of us suffer from an identity crisis. We dont know who the f*** we are just because we were never told how to express our identity, our sexuality, our true character and nature, nothing at all. I am sorry but i do not believe that our parents are perfect. I feel no one is perfect. They might know whats right, but that necessarily might be only right for them and not for us. I am not preaching here that parents are not good. NO. We are lucky we have parents and a family but its vice versa. I feel we are not entitled to follow anyone blindly , even if its our own mom or dad. Do what you feel is right even if your family is against you. Its just one life, live for freedom, youre not the victim if their expectations. Have a great sunday,

Parent are also humans. They are not perfect and may commit mistakes. But now that we are older and has gained some level of maturity we must have a thankful heart. Talking from my experience I'm thankful to my parents for my upbringing.

Yeah i think you are right...parents always think right for us but it doesn't mean that they cannot be wrong..most of the times we have thinking dissimilarities with our parents and it can be due to certain reasons like generation gap and all.

If you ask your parents about it, they will say that they are right when they tell you to do something, but if you ask how much they listen to their own parents (your grandparents), they will have a different answer.

Now we are quite matured and it is our duty to value them.
