Now, everyone always says that you should always listen to your parents but that is not always the case. While your parents may be older and have more experience they still do not know everything. But don’t get me wrong, you should obey your parents when they have your best interest in mind and are genuinely trying to help you through life. But, sometimes, kids especially know this to be true, your parents just don’t understand. Which I find funny because they are always saying I was a kid once too but then they just seem to forget what it feel like because they are too busy being a parent. I think thats one of the biggest reasons that they don’t understand, if they had a kids perspective i truly believe that they would handle a lot of things differently. Some parents don’t care about trying to understand they just try to use their children to make their lives better even at the cost of their children's happiness. While some parents do know a lot, in cases like they are asking you to do something dangerous, if they want you to do something that goes against what you believe, and if they don’t understand the situation.
Obviously you should not listen to your parents if they are telling you to do something that is dangerous or something that could harm you because they clearly don’t have your best interests in mind if they are asking you to do that. I know that this may seem like a no brainer to some people but not always. Some kids are trained to do everything that their parents tell them but when they aren’t really thinking of you it is more than ok but even good to disobey them. Your parents are supposed to help you through life and try to raise you as a good person but if they are intentionally telling you to get hurt they ar...

...he situation as well as you and don’t understand the consequences. Obviously you should not listen to your parents if they are telling you to do something that is dangerous or something that could harm you because they clearly don’t have your best interests in mind if they are asking you to do that. Also, if your parents are telling you to do something that goes against what you believe you shouldn’t listen because just because you are young you can still have your own beliefs. Finally, another reason you shouldn’t listen to your parents is because sometimes they may not understand the situation like you can and they may be telling you to do something that they don’t understand the consequences. Obviously, your parents aren’t always right and while you should obey them it is okay to disobey them for the right reasons.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
Really, our parents know more than us. They have lived longer than us and therefore, know more than us. We should always obey our parents because this is what God says and also because that is what is right.
I yelled at them, ignored them, and occasionally did the opposite they told me too. At the time, I thought that made me better than them, but in the end, it got me nowhere. Soon I entered high school and my bratty preteen-self calmed down. However, my parents became stricter on my grades because there was a big milestone that would be coming up in a few years, getting accepted into college. My parents made it very clear that if I did not get a large scholarship to any university, I would have to go to the local community college. That was the last thing I wanted to happen, I wanted out of the house. I now had a strong incentive to do well in school. I wanted to be able to go out on my own and escape their tight grasp on me. I completed year after year, always making “A’s” in my classes. I soon climbed to the top of my school’s ranking system and was at the top of my class. Though, this did not matter to me, I wanted out of my house. At this point, I knew I was not disappointing my parents, they were as proud as can be with a daughter at the top of her class. This was the first time in my life that I felt as if my parents were generally proud of me and my accomplishments. I still however, felt guilty. Even though I was doing it for myself, I felt bad that I wanted to escape my parents. I did not hate them, I just could not stand being under their control
Based on the parenting style definitions, both my mother and my father use the authoritative style of parenting. My parents have high expectations for both my brother and I for our future as well as to follow their rules. My brother, Tristan, and sometimes I debate with my parents, sometimes it may be about their rules and to justify why we may have disobeyed their rules. My parents encourage our independence giving us trust that we can handle keeping our grades up, keeping up with our chores, and taking care of expensive items they buy for us; thus we must show our maturity to our parents and follow their guide lines. They have limits of freedom though because we are still adolescences going through life. Whenever
Based on the classic Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Roman, Julie, and Friends displays a new theme on becoming friends with children of all genders, even if it is not expected or allowed by their friends. There were many changes made to create a story that resembled Romeo and Juliet but also changed the meaning to a more positive and age appropriate moral. For example some of the original characters are resembled in the remediation, while others were completely new for the purpose of the new plot. The classic play was changed to a children’s book to provide a positive message to children by using pictures and designs that would suit a child’s liking. The design of the book was happy and cheerful, with basic pictures that resemble the words but are similar to the other pictures in the book. The book also uses ethos, logos, and pathos to sell the moral of the story. Ethos is mainly used by the creditability of Shakespeare. While pathos is the ability for the reader to connect with the characters personalities and stories. Logos is used by providing the child realize that friends can be any gender or personalities, but if given the chance a friend can be found in anyone. The target audience is for children around the reading level of 3, with the purpose being the idea that children can become friends with children of any gender.
When I was younger, I wanted to go to the mall with all of my friends and no parents for a birthday party. I was so excited that I got invited to go that I had already told all my friends that I could and that I would see them there. At home, I went to my dad to ask if I could go (thinking the answer would be yes) and he exclaimed “NO” and stared at him shocked because I had already told all my friends that I could go. Questions ran through my head, “why not? I already told all of my friends I could!” I asked. He just stared at me and said “It is very dangerous going alone and I don’t want you to get hurt. End of discussion” and that was it. I flew up to my room and slammed the door because I was so angry and I started thinking to myself that it was so unfair. Then I saw things from his perspective, I wouldn’t want my kid running around in a huge mall without any parents, it was dangerous. I gained a new perspective by putting myself in his shoes and seeing why he wouldn’t let me go to the birthday party. This new perspective helped me understand why it was bad and helped me make better choices in the future. As I was coming-of-age I realized my father’s perspective.
Authors often use vivid language to represent actions, ideas and objects as imagery to highlight certain messages they are trying to convey. Readers of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet may well debate the effectiveness of or purpose for which the author uses death imagery. Shakespeare’s primary function of death imagery is to emphasize the theme of untimely and tragic deaths, specifically for the main characters. First, when Romeo is explaining his love to Friar Laurence, death imagery is used to explain his young age, which makes his death untimely. Furthermore, death imagery conveys the message of violent deaths when Romeo believes false information regarding Juliet’s death. Most importantly, the death of Juliet is described with the use of death imagery to show its untimeliness.
Throughout the entirety of Romeo & Juliet, Shakespeare is hinting at the “star crossed” deadly fate of the lovers spoken of by the chorus in the prologue. Romeo and Juliet are also constantly mentioning their uneasy feelings and how they can sense that something bad will happen, which confirm the aforementioned conclusion. This foreshadowing not only tells us this tragedy planned, but there must be pawns of fate that have to drive Romeo and Juliet together, while at the same time leading them to their death. In Romeo and Juliet, their deadly destiny was written by the universe and characters along the way, such as Capulet, Montague, Nurse, Friar Lawrence, Friar John, and Mercutio.
Romeo & Juliet Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's most popular play. It is the most retold and reiterated since it deals with everyday aspects of life such as love, tragedy, and in particular, family. The roles of parents and "substitute" parents are important in this play. The biological parents of Romeo and Juliet are supposed to act as role models and guides for their children, but ironically, it is the substitute parents, Friar Laurence and the Nurse, who are only seemingly supportive of Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, neither the biological nor substitute parents could prevent the tragic ending.
In Romeo and Juliet, a tragedy written by the great English playwright- William Shakespeare- “a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,” due to rivalry of two families (Crowther 1). Simply put, the hatred between two families causes a pair of lovers to commit suicide. Although this case is a suicide, the blame might not be all on the lovers- Romeo and Juliet. The tragedy might be the fault of other people involving in this event, specifically the adults around the lovers. There are three adults around the lovers that might have influenced them and lead them to their death: Friar Lawrence, the nurse, and the apothecary.
In the play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare reveals an underlying message that points to the contrasts between youth and age that are even apparent now today. The youth of society tend to question and then possibly disregard the rules that are important to their parents if they do not have good reason to believe in these rules. The rebellious actions of youth can eventually cause their own untimely destruction. We see today in the headlines many instances where teens have followed their own unguided course bringing about tragic results. Shakespeare shows us in his play how these factors contributed to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
Every parent wants to protect their child from getting hurt, whether it’s scraping a knee or losing their best friend. As parents, it’s your job to watch your child grow, learn and make mistakes. Children must make their own mistakes in order to learn from them; if they don’t do this, they won’t be able to tell right from wrong when they become adults and take on the world without the guidance of their parents. Protecting your child is good, but some parents may be a bit overprotective and shelter their child a little too much.
Sometimes we act instinctively and think our behavior is normal until we reflect on what we are doing. I was considered a troubled teen. Funny enough, no one seemed to ask why. Maybe you’re not like me and maybe you are. My parents, as great as they are (in their way) ways didn 't pay much if any attention to me growing up. They were busy trying to create ‘a better life us’. We all do the best we can with what we have. What they failed to realize was that they were missing some fundamentals that we needed. We didn 't need stuff, although who doesn 't like stuff. We needed them and their time and understanding.
Obeying your parents every word is not always good, but can be in some cases. Children have to be able to have their own opinion and form their own decisions in life. If not, they may get lost in the world with no true instinct of what the right thing is. If a child is always told what to do then they may perceive it as they will always get the answers handed to them.
parents don’t listen to what their kids have to say or if they do just
