Parents


Question Posted Tuesday July 1 2008, 10:48 pm

I am a 13 year old girl. My only wish for my parents is that they could have been better discipline wise. There is still time for that to happen, but I don't think it will. Now don't think I am some spoiled little brat. I may be a lot of things, but that sure isn't one of them! I never have been as I have a genuine like for people and treat them with respect. Also my parents did not spoil me. I like to earn things. Believe me, I have been punished. And if I feel I deserve more I punish myself. Trust me on this too, if I started sneaking out and sleeping around, they most likely would send me away somewhere. But I just wish when I was younger (like 5-9) that they're punishments were harsher.
Of course, my mom went into deep depression and couldn't really do anything like that.

Now my problem is that I feel extremely guilty even though I have not turned out bad. How do I stop this? I can't stand it anymore!

I wish my parent where more culturally aware and artistically inclined. I'm sure if they had exposed me to more art at the younger age I'd be more successful and intelligent now.

Of course, my parents are both very scientifically minded and would not have enjoyed such things, so it's not really surprising they didn't.

My point is that our parents are only human and there is ALWAYS more they could have done or we can wish they had done. At some point we simply have to take responsibility for the place that we are at in life and not hold our parents responsible just because they aren't perfect.

Forget about your parents past actions. Focus on YOUR current actions that you are not happy with. There must be some current issue that is making you feel that you could have been educated better as a child. Learn the lesson now yourself.
