This is probs not a big deal?

I dont know what this is but i feel this total recentment to my parents.
I am 15 and starting to figure out what the worlds about and i sometimes feel that my parent have old views becuase of their age .
their 50 and when they watch shows or hear about teenagers getting drunk she goes
"Pathetic" or "Stupid" and i just see it as normal teenager behavious and it makes me feel that when i get to this stage of go to pubs,drinking and clubbing that there going to frown at me and make me feel guilty

what should i do

should i just say i dont give a stuff and make the most of my teenage years?

Well, if getting drunk seems any sort of way of 'making the most' of your teens, I'd say something is a bit awry. However, if you're just talking about going out, having a bit to drink sometimes without getting drunk, etc, then of course, that's what being a teenager is about. Your parents will try to limit you - that's their job. If they didn't, my hunch is you would feel as if they didn't care what happened to you, and that feels a lot worse than resenting them for setting limits.

If they are a bit old-fashioned about things, well, you can try to educate them. If you do this in an adult way, trying to explain the world from your viewpoint rather than shouting, screaming, sulking or flouncing out, they may begin to understand and be more amenable to your requests.

You don't need to feel guilty for being a teenager and rebelling - it's what we need to do in order to establish our sense of our separate self - but the more you can talk calmly and present your views, the more likely you are (a) to get what you want; (b) keep a reasonable relationship with your parents; and (c) come to feel yourself as a responsible, mature, adult.

Your parents are right.

When you get a little older, you'll figure that out.

For now, keep your mouth shut and respect them.

you have to understand that when they were your age things were so much different. Don't let that stop you having your fun though but do wait til your are legally allowed to drink etc, your youth is precious and you should enjoy it as much as you can. Your parents are probably only hearing the nrgative ponts about teens and are probably hoping that you don't do things like getting drunk in car park somewhere. Be honest with your parents, its the best thing to do, trust me, i learned the hard way for not being honest!

You are still only 15 and there is no rush for you to grow up so quick. Normal teenagers do go out and have fun with their friends but it doesn't mean that it involves getting steaming drunk and doing a mountain of drugs.

There is no need to feel resentment towards your parents as they only have your best interests at heart. Don't forget they are wise and know a hell of alot about certain things then you do.

If you think this generation is bad wait until you have kids, you'll be in for a shock..

Enjoy every moment of being a teenager. It doesn't last for long. I know you think it is a long way off, but before you know it you'll be a fully fledged adult dealing with mortgages, kids, jobs and bills. I made the most of my teenage years and don't regret a single moment. I had so much fun and I really hope my 4 boys will do the same when they reach their teens. My parents also disapproved of everything I did even though they were quite young compared to other peoples parents, They were 19 when I was born. I kept them happy by telling them where I was going, who with, when I would be home etc. I didn't ask them if I could go somewhere, I just told them, but gave them as much info as possible. They didn't always like it, but I went ahead anyway. I would never have done anything dangerous just normal stuff all kids get up to. Talk to your parents and try to find a happy medium and remember to ENJOY. Best of luck to you.

I understand what you mean. My parents are luckily more versatile, and accept that times change. Im sure that your parents are just worried for you, but if you did do the same things on tv, you shouldn't worry what they think because at the end of the day, they will always love you. If you make mistakes like people do on tv programmes, its life experience I suppose. But yeah i'd say enjoy your teenage years, worry about bigger things when the time comes.

i am 48 and think maybe they have strict ideas but you see we change as we get older. Their is nothing wrong with drinking but its important to take care of your body. everything is moderation.

what you need to do is grow up and realise that your parents have been 15 and know the mistakes kids make..... they don't want you to get hurt

Whatever
