What+Adults+Don't+Get+agr

High School Life I can no longer deal with my parents and their inability to see eye to eye with me. Today’s adults do not understand what it is like to be in high school. They are convinced they are right about everything, they have forgotten what it was like to be in high school, and the way they act will never let me admit that I know them. All these things enable my parents, and all adults, to understand high school life. **Thesis Statement is Strong!** My parents and I would never get into any fights if they ever thought they were wrong. Especially my dad, he will never even think that I was right about something. He will stand his ground on a subject, even if he knows nothing about it, until it makes me so made that I start yelling at him, and then I get grounded. This really gets to me when my dad tries to tell me something about school that doesn’t even make any sense to my life. It might have to do with grades, or how to act, but the things he says don’t even make sense. But when I tell him that the idea won’t work, he just tells me I’m closed minded. We get no where with those conversations; they just end up making us both mad. But if he was able to even try to see the situation from my point of view the conflict could be avoided. **Good Support!** The second problem is that they have no idea what life was like in high school. They have forgotten what life was like and hard life can be at times. They are always telling they expect better from me and what they used to be able to do when they were in high school. And the things they say don’t even make sense. There is no way my dad was ever able to play basketball, work, and get all his homework done in the same. He tells me this when I say I had to finish homework at lunch. He doesn’t believe that he ever did any homework at school. I just think he has forgotten what actually happened. And even if they do remember what high school was like way back then, this is a completely different time then when they grew up. Everyone acts differently now then they did back then. Different things are cool, and doing some things they did “back in the day” are seen as really embarrassing. If they don’t catch up with the times they will never have a great relationship with me.**Just remeber they went through alot of the stuff we went through in simliar ways** It’s hard to have a good fun high school experience when you feel that your parents are too embarrassing to introduce to your friends. I don’t have this feeling but sometimes I wish I had. My parents say some of the dumbest things I swear they are trying to ruin my life. They tell my friends things I said that I was joking about and they tell it to other people like it was true. My parents want to tell everybody everything that is happening in my life if I want them to tell people or not. When I say something to my parents I literally have to say don’t say anything about this or my mom will be on the phone with grandma telling her about how I didn’t like the birthday present she sent me. **I think that sentence needs quotations around "don't say anything about this," or my.... KCa** These things carry over to the high school life the same way. My parents tell teachers and coaches things that I would never let them know but y parents don’t get it. It is really hard to be a kid. **I think you ment why, not y. KCa** Without my parents changing their actions I am going to continue to try and leave them out of my high school life. They are convinced they are right about everything so any civilized discussion is out of the equation. They are too old to understand what is happening in my life right now. And they have a real problem knowing when to keep their mouth shut. These things combine to tell me that adults know absolutely nothing about high school life in today’s world. **Way to go Andy your awesome! Way to Go! 1205202746Ale2**
