Your Parents Want What's Best For You

I agree with this statement. Your parents really just want to see you become a successful person in the future. Therefore, they try to give you the best that they can. However sometimes, they may be overprotective. If you really tried to figure out why they can be overprotective is because they just want to protect you. In return, I think one should appreciate for what your parents have given you. They give you food, shelter, education, and love (which is the most important thing). I don't understand why some people are not grateful for the parents they have. They really try to give you everything one needs and wants. Unfortunately, they can't make that come true. They know what is best for you and I believe that one should listen to the advice they give you. I truly believe that your parents want what is best for you.

I disagree and agree with this statement. I understand that parents want to protect us, but many of our parents are too protective. At our age now; 11, 12 or 13, we are called "pre-teens" but our parents don't want us to grow up. They like to think we are still their 5 year old baby. These days, paretns care a little too much about our safety. We get told all the time to " not do drugs", to " not drink" and to " not open the door when alone". We get treated like little kids, when we should have a little more freedom once in a while. I agree that parents love you and want the best for you, but that doesn't mean always telling us what to do. We are young, mature kids and we understand the difference between what's good and bad for us. I agree that Jonathan's father was only trying to warn him about what would happen when going to war, but Jonathan wanted to. He wanted to actually see for himself how war was really like; his fantasy or his father's cruel world of war. Children make mistakes, and they will always but parents won't always be there to guide us through.

I agree with this statement. Our parents only want whats best for us so they try to baby and protect us. Sometimes they may go overboard but its for our benefit. If we only knew how bad it scares our parents when we disobey and dont listen. When we dont come home on on time or say things then try to change what we said later it scares them. Perhaps one day we will understand our parents fear,When we have children of our on. Until that day we will undermine our parents authority and rebel against them, but remember they love us. Would Jonathan have gone to war if he knew how it scared his parents?"Dont you dare dont you dare go beyond" if Jonathan only realized the fear in his fathers voice he wouldnt have gone to begin with. When Jonathan was caught by the Hessian soldiers all he wanted was to be protected and cared for in his parents protective arms. That is why we as kids, should treat our parents with dignaty and respect and trust their word.
