Parents

me and my mom fight a lot. she thinks my shirts are too tight to low, to short. i think her shirts are to big to high, to long. she thinks my music (rap, R&b, hard core rock, metal etc.,) are bad. i think her music (jazz, folk, blues, soft rock) are boring. WE always bump heads on some thing because we are total opposites. she was the shy over achieving smart girl. and im the outgoing, not so good at school, not so smart girl. Will we ever agree????

I think you will sooner or later...I'm still young so what do I know right?

But your mom is from a different generation than you...She was born where girls were looked at like tramps when they shown to much skin (not saying you are one) but nowadays, its relativly normal to see that...The music thing, I listen to what you do as well, that too is because she was born listening to that kind of music because it was popular when she was young. We were born when rap and R&B are popular.

When you get older and more understanding of all this, there will be things in life you'll agree on. For example, picture yourself in the future.
Perhaps becoming a parent, you may sooner or later agree with your mom on how to raise kids (although you might disagree now)...or when buying a house....

There is just a huge age gap between the two of you that its hard to agree on things now...I know because me and my mom argue a lot too...but I just keep telling myself that when I get older your mom will be your support and the best advice giver ever

someday when you are raising your children,and you hear yourself saying the exact same thing she says to you now and you realize ,oh my god! I`ve turned into my mom! you will realize that gap closes year by year. I laugh at my daughter now when I hear her repeating my words to her kids.

On a lighter note, my mum called my a slut today. I was wearing eyeshadow and eyeliner, and a lipstick a shade darker than I usually use. Just a few strokes of makeup more than my usual... it was funny, though. Hehehhe.

I'll trade. If that's all your Mum does your welcome to trade with mine. She's heaps worse.

ummm Chelsey ur not that young im way younger but newayz
i didnt finish she made me get off. but ya she calls me a slut and stuff. and when we get in arguements she brings up my old parents (im adopted) and acts like im going to turn out just like them. and ya i cry so much cuz she's so mean.

These are the worst years for most people, when your growing up, you want all things your way and you want to do your own thing and your parents are just trying to protect you
I mean, im nearly 19 now and i still get it from my dad and stepmom, but it's slowly getting better cos i'm growing up.
So hang in there and soon all will be at peace =)
(how pathetic was that last sentence, lmao)
Good luck

I think tht at some point, you could agree... for now, probably not... for a bit, at least. That's how it was for me.

Eventually. It's obvious you're both going to possess different tastes in music, clothing and generally the way you are. The point is when you're older, you'll see it's not about agreeing on what you wear or how you look- it's the understanding you share with her. I personally adore my mother and we have the same interests in all sorts of things. Sure, you may disagree now, but sooner or later you'll be tagging along with her to the 'mall' as you may call it, buying your clothes with her!

Parents are annoying, but I think it is their implied job to constantly disagree with us. =[

I don't agree with that, Sarah. I think you just have a misguided conception of parents.

I think in the future you will agree. me being 16 i always fight with my parents and my siblings as a matter of fact. (shocker :rolls eyes:.. ) well right now you may always disagree with your parents, but in the future they may become your best friends (so to speak)

haha... I barely have anything in common with my 'rents! They despise my music, my games...

but what's scary is that my dad's decided to get into Hilary Duff, and he doesn't seem to realize the last time I was a fan of hers was 4th grade.

Neither of my parents are into art or read books... my mom wants me to be an accountant, even though I'm challenged with #'s...
