Parents...

Everyone keeps telling me that because I'm a teenager, I just automatically think that my parents are stupid. Well I hate to burst everyone's bubble but honestly for me, that's not true. I have respect for my parents and I've come to realize that I don't always share the same views as my parents, and honestly at 17 I don't think I should always agree with my parents...but anyways, even though I don't always agree with my parents, I'm still under their roof and I'm called to obey. Let me tell you, it sure ain't easy. I probably disagree or want to argue with my parents more then any other people. They just know how to push my buttons and bring out the worst in me. But over the past couple of weeks I think I have finally learned that silence is the key. Instead of giving my input, just shutting up and listening has such a better outcome. So much to say I'm just tired of everyone assuming that I think my parents are complete idiots because I don't. They may be strange and they may have rules that I'll never understand but no matter what, they're my parents and NO I don't think they are stupid.
