I really hate it when parents use that phrase because as i get older I find that they are bloody right sometimes with these things. Like when they said school is the best years of your life. Through school i thought it sucked, which it did, and now that im over 2 years out of it i miss it. OK i could have done without homework and some of the teachers but still getting to see your friends all day everyday ruled. Now its like a few times a week.
Also getting you to eat veggies or not to go crazy with your money and save some or little life lessons you thought were stupid at the time. ARGH i hate that they are right.
 
I hate that too, when I was young I felt good spending my money and I always wasted but now, I'M TOTALLY BROKE! That doesn't matter much because I'm only 14 but I still wish I had money. I'm realizing now that I only think it's stupid because I don't want to believe that they have brains :D
 
Uh, this thread's topic is too good to be in the spam coliseum.

Anyways, they're right about most things, and most especially when you yourself think they're wrong. I've already learned that to succeed in life is to go by what is taught to you by your parents, because if you tough it out alone, chances are you're screwing yourself in the long run. If you don't believe in life experience, disregard that conviction now, 'cause parents have a lot of it and know what they're talking about.
 
But 21 is college years, now innit? That's like, the end of the happy days. Then comes all the responsibilities (burdens, if you will) of life. :pikamon:
 
i could have finished school last year, but i decided i wanted to stay for another year coz it is the best years of your life, your parents pay for most things and you can do what you want.

as for 21, i reckon 18, best day of my life, being able to buy alcohol legally.

and they say youth is wasted on the young
 
The 'You'll miss school when you get older!' line your parents use is a crock of bullshit, though.
You don't miss school...
You miss being lazy, not paying bills, not having a job, and getting free money :wacky:
 
id miss the social aspects of school, the actual learning, not so much.
there is interesting topics but then there is mechanics and pure maths, ugh
 
Listen to your parents.

Seriously.

After being in the army and shit loads of other stuff I can't WAIT to get back to school. 'Real life' also showed me how much I should've appreicated the time I spent in school where your only concern was your homework.
 
My parents never fed me that "you'll miss school later" crap. I don't miss school. I miss seeing some of my old friends, but not school.

My parents were right about a lot of things, but they've been wrong about a lot of things as well.

So I'm not giving them TOO much credit.
 
I don't get that alot, but they do say "You don't know how easy you are getting it." AND THEY ARE SO RIGHT! I feel like a spoiled brat if I think for a moment! Like really! I think I might have gotten the "You will thank me when you are older." phrase once before.

I will be saying those kind of stuff to my daughter pretty soon here. xD

But yes, I agree that usually parents are right and knows what's best. Some are not right and do not know what's best, however. There has been a lot of times when I do know that they're wrong and I'm right. In the end, I am still right. It all depends on what your parents are teaching you about life experiences. Some advice may have worked for them, but then it may also not have worked out for me or many others.

Advices are just that: advices. You do not have take it, although you may want to take in what they have to say. And just because you chose not to take any advices and learned the hard way, does not make the parents entirely correct either. Sometimes, that is what we all really need. A dose of various life experiences and learning from our mistakes. How do you think they learned from their mistakes...? I'm sure our parents didn't take their parents' advices either. They learned the hard way, and now they are doing exactly what their parents told them to do...and passing it on to their children: us.

Does that mean it works for us though? Who can say for sure? Maybe, maybe not. Personally, I do take it to heart the things that they have to say (except my dad; he's an idiot). As long as it's for a good cause, then there's no harm in it. Sometimes I remain the stronger one and even ends up offering advices to my mom though, but that's a different story.

Anyway, I'm babbling here. I'd say that staying in school is definitely an advice that anyone should take. Just do it. xD
 
Yeah, I used to be in a rush to grow up but I know that I will miss school terribly when I go to uni. Like, I'm looking forward to the freedom of living alone because lord knows I get absolutely none of that with my parents, but I'll miss seeing my friends everyday and everything is just so secure at high school.
 
I kind of wish my parents would have said something like that to me. It shows that they really care. People always make it sound like a bad thing when their parents are right, but isn't it better for them to be right than being wrong. I mean if they're wrong, who can you turn to for advice or when you really need their help?

Yes parents can be right a lot of the times. Remember they are trying to help you, and what can it hurt to take their advice?
 
Dad's in Florida, almost every day of each year :'(
Well, the way my mom tells me she cares for me by giving we food that she says is good for my skin and will get rid of my pimples and acne.
What I get?
