"You can't leve life behind a book all the time," our parents would always tell us.
But they wanted us to study and focus on our school work, and read the books we needed to.
"Be yourself, son't ler peer pressure get to you," our parents would say.
Yet, they want us to be like other people, saying, "why can't you be more like your friend, Emily?"
"If your friend jumps of a bridge, would you follow," was always a great line.
But our parents wanted us to take chances.
"Listen to your heart."
Screw that, our parents wanted us to listen to our heads.
"Don't follow the crowd!"
But our individuality is stripped just because we wear one thing that makes us 'stand out' or that our parents don't like.
Our parents want us to be ourselves, but they try to make us like them.
Why are we told to do one thing, and then forced to do another?
People say this world is confusing
and with all this ironcy and hypocracy, they're damn right.
It's no wonder kids and teens don't listen to their parents, their brains are fucked up.
