The teenage daughter

What would you do if your daughter comes back home from school late at night when you know school ends way earlier than that. What would you do when she starts to wear clothes of her generation which you clearly disapprove? Would you nag and nag with her behind closed door? And complain and complain knowing full well that the guy who used to listen to you and do something about it is no longer there. You know you have a son but he could never really take the place of his father. He could never scold or punish his sister like how a father would punish his daughter. So all you can actually do is just nag and pray that your daughter changes. Pray that she doesnt push you to your limits and make you do things she never thought you would do.

What would you do when it starts to get late? The clock shows it's 7 o'clock and you know once you reach home you've got some explaining to do. Do you lie to your mum about your whereabouts or do you tell her the truth? Do you think about her feelings or do you care more about your own feelings? Which do you care more: Her being worried about where you are and what you are doing or you enjoying your time with your friends and just listen to your mother's nagging later on through your headphones.

What would you do when your mother doesnt like what you like to wear? You know it's what your friends wear and you know guys like girls wearing what you wear. Would you change your wardrobe because of what she likes and what she doesnt like? Or would you just dismiss her rant and be ignorant to your home environment and just care about your social life. And not forgetting, life with the guy you think you're falling in love with.


It is not easy being a teenager these days. You either care or you dont. If you care, you lose. If you dont, you'll be cool......but you'll lose your parents.

Neither is it easy to be a parent these days. You either care or you dont. If you care, you'll lose your children. If you dont, you'll still lose your children.


I just do not see what is so hard about listening to your parents and making them happy? I believe that if you make your parents happy, they will make you happy. Malays would use the term "ambil hati". Children should always listen to their parents no matter what and it should never be the other way round. Put yourself in their shoes and you'll understand why.

I'll always remember the days when i used to style my hair up and my mama commented that she likes it when it's combed to the side, without any gel. She said that if she finds it nice, other's will find it nice. The latter i kind of disagree but still, id rather no one like me except my mother than having so many people liking me but not my mother.

And you simlpy have to know that those around you wont be with you forever.
