Mother: Clean your room!
Child: Get out! You're not the boss of me!
Mother: Clean it now! It's a mess, you can't live in this!
Child:
I hate you, get out of my life!
*slams door on her face*
Mother remembers her children's words... "get out of my life...out of my life...my life"

No no no. This is not okay. I see this too much. Us teenagers disrespect our parents, I'm not saying we all do, but it does happen. We lose our temper and all that we've kept in lashes out. What you think you said may have seemed little, but this takes a huge toll on the people who have tried raising you in life for the past years.

When this happens, parents feel like crap. They really do, they feel like what they have been trying to do for a good part of their life is really going to waste and that they're not doing it correctly. You can't have them feel that way. Imagine if you were in their position. Raising children is a real challenge, from birth until they go off to college. If they're going out of their way to make you happy, I suggest you do the same.

Even if you don't want to do the big things in your life and go out of your way to make these people happy, just do the little things. When you wake up in the morning and see them, tell them you love them or just give them a hug. That's what I do, and it seems my parents appreciate it.

As many of you know I'm an avid 4chan visitor. There was a time where I came up onto a feels thread, this is where people post things to make people feel bad or try and experience pain others are feeling, and someone posted some nostalgia from a past 4chan thread back in 2012 when I didn't even know the website existed. What was said here really hurt, but it really showed me that some kids who are out there really love their parents and they try their hardest to make them happy. Here it is:


Brought a tear to my eye. It really did. Although you can't trust that this has happened, you can still at least imagine the situation happening. When you read it yourself, you kind of put this all into your head and you imagine if this was you and your father. It hurts. It really does. But look at that line there that says ">He smiles the happiest smile I have seen in years"

Now here comes the question I ask all of you who say you hate your parents, what if you did this for your parents? What if you made your parents happy for the first in your eyes, and you finally exchanged that feeling of love?

A human cannot live without love from someone. The people who will give it to you the most are your parents. And you know, sad to say here but some people may not have biological parents. It could be their grandmothers and grandfathers, uncles and aunts, etc. It could even be a mother and mother or father and father. Hell, a lot of times it's just one mother or one father. Whoever it is, you have to show them that you love them.

I have heard people here call their mothers and fathers w****s, b****s, s***s, f*****s, etc. If you've experienced that at the same time as me, then you've seen me flip. You should not be mad at the people who have brought you into this world, and have done all they can to raise you. They go to work everyday, they try and make money everyday, just to put food in your mouths.

Now I know, if you are experiencing child abuse from one or more of your parents then you have no right to love them, because they're not being the parents you're supposed to have. Or if they've done something illegal and ended up in jail, they're not showing you the brightest path. But if you're not experiencing this then you don't have a great reason to hate your parents.

Just please, after you read this, I hope I can change what you think about your parents and give them more respect if you haven't in the past... and before I end this thread let's just imagine a different scenario.

Mother: Clean your room!
Child: Will get right to it mom!
Mother: Thank you.
*Smiles and starts to leave the room*
Child: Wait mom...
Mother: Yes?
Child: ...I love you
Mother: I love you too.
*Leaves the room with a smile that can light up the darkest areas of the world*

Real talk,
Andreas
TL;DR? Nope. Read the whole thing.

Wow Andreas, you really inspired me from this :). This is like a story about my friend, his mom and his whole family believe in god and go to church, but my friend is a atheist and they beg me to get him to go to church, and believe in god. Whenever I go to his house I see him inside everyday doing nothing but eat and play and his parents always tell me that they fell bad because it's their fault that they didn't raise him any better. In one point in my life I wanted to kill myself cause of bullying and people coming up to me and saying stuff about me. Middle school for me was really hard, with the bullying and getting picked on. But in high school now I fell different cause I have a ton of more friends than I did in middle school. I felt like crap even now that, even my friends don't invite me to go outside. No wonder I watch so much anime and i am known for that stuff, Its because I don't hang out with friends as much as I should :( but everyone in life has there problems and I really want to solve mine. I really liked your thread about this, I will be sure to follow what you said in this :')

One paragraph can really hit the feels in me, and this just did

Not going to lie, I didn't read this because I don't have time at the moment (I will come back and read it later) but I have seen that greentext before and it's pretty funny.

First off, why not just wait until you find the time to read the whole thread and then post...? What's the purpose of posting having not read the thread? Secondly, that greentext isn't even funny. It's actually a fairly sad and unfortunate story.

I hope you mean greentexts in general... because this one is not funny at all
It really bothers me when my little sister screams at my mom and says all that rude stuff, cause I know (since I'm older and smarter, of course ;p) my mom isn't gonna be around forever. Great thread.
thank you coming from a legend like you
