Have you ever just thought what the heck are my parents thinking, there is no way I'm listening to them? I know I have and I think you probably have to. Its because our parents aren’t always right. There are always those times when your parents are going to be wrong, I mean they're only human. And sometime you're not gonna want to obey them, even though most of the time you should listen. And there are many reasons for that and I’m sure you could think of more but here are the ones I got from Romeo and Juliet. There are three main reasons I can think of for why you shouldn’t obey your parents; if they want you to do something that could cause harm to you, if they ask you to do something that you are unable to do, or if they want you to follow a plan or something that they want you to do not something that would make you happy.
To start, the first reason that you shouldn’t always obey your parents is if they want you to do something that could harm you or someone else. Some parents encourage their kids to do thing that are not right, maybe because the was they grew up. They may encourage them to bully other kids, drink, do drugs, or other bad choices. In Act III scene v. page 889 line 219-225 they don’t necessarily want her to do something that is harmful to herself but something that makes her want to harm herself.

Which]ch is odd because at the beginning of the play he wants Paris to win her over so that she can be happy. So that is the final reason that you shouldn't always listen to your parents is if they want something for themselves and not for you.
Clearly,there are three reasons that you shouldn’t always listen to your parents. The first is if they want you to do something that could cause you or others harm The second is if they ask you to do something you are literally unable to do. And the last is if they want you to do something that would make them happy not you. Obviously, there are some situations when you shouldn’t obey what you parents say.
