Well, Farnoosh, that is what it's like for all teenagers. Some day you'll see.

I'm with Virgil:) It may seem they can't understand now, but that is not the way you will see it when raising your own teenager. My kids are still young, but I've finally learned an appreciation for the strictness of my parents. I thought they were entirely unreasonable at 15, 16 and clear up till I was married and not under their roof. Now I see why they were, and I'm grateful for it. Hang in there, and one of these days they will not seem so alien. You will find the understand much more than you give them credit for;)

Farnoosh, maybe your parents do understand you, but cannot communicate it to you on your own terms. They feel your pains and your happiness, though you do not see it now. They want what is best for you, no matter what, and on good days you may agree with me. But overall, if it counts for anything, I also felt this way. The artistic side of me was almost crushed out of existence. But, what is meant to be will happen. It is good to unleash emotions in poetry/stories/songs, so keep the poetry happening. Cheers, Farnoosh

Every parent was a teenager, but there was never a teenager who was a parent of a teenager...

They have walked in your shoes...maybe...someday...you'll walk in theirs!!
