Don’t they understand that we are all learners? From the time you’re  born to the time you pass away. 

Growing up I was very eager to learn I wasn’t solely focused on school but I was eager to learn. I lived with my mom she would always call my dad when I was ” bad ” or did something they did not approve of. My father tried his best to guide me to the right direction. He told me I was going to have to learn the hard way. Which meant he would allow me to make my own mistakes so that I would have to confront him with them afterwards. Simply because I didn’t want to listen or so they thought. I would listen but I didn’t like people helping me. I wanted to learn all of my life tips on my own. You don’t learn by not making mistakes or poor choices. No ones perfect enough to do that. Now that I am 24 with 2 kids of my own I wish my parents were in the same mood to guide me as they were when I was 14. I have learned that my parents were not just trying to make me do things they wanted me to but truly guide me to a better life. Now when I self reflect I don’t blame other people for the poor decisions I chose or the lack of responsibility I showed. It was always and always will be up to me to decide how my life plays out even if others do frown upon me for going down the rode I chose.
