19. Disrespecting parents

Haha isn't this a part of being a teenager? I think so! When you get into your twenties you realize that your parents just want the best for you so you actually turn to them for help when you need to. Also at my age, all the things me and my friends did to be "cool" as teens, we can go legally now so it isn't a big deal anymore and nothing to get in trouble for.
However my teenage days were pretty fun. I was a rebel for sure, a "too cool for school" brat and turned into a hormonal bitch at the age of fourteen. But honestly I think it is apart of growing up to go through the teenage years which means disrespecting your parents by doing things that they don't approve off. It isn't exactly the parents job to just stand by and let it happen, but it is their job to understand. If I wouldn't have been so annoying as a teenager, I wouldn't have learned from my mistakes and I wouldn't be growing into the woman I am today, being on my own two feet with two jobs and an acceptance letter to UNI.

However if someone in their twenties would be disrespecting their parents now the way teenagers do, is just sad. That is a huge sign that the person hasn't grown up and still feels the need to act out and that can be caused by many different things. Obviously there are also many ways to disrespect and reasons more someone doing so and some may even be understanding.
