MESSAGE TO TEENAGERS- BY SAKEENAH' WRITES

Dear teenagers, I understand that you dislike it when your parents scold you, I know that you don't like it when they limit your freedom to DO AND UNDO, I know you feel irked whenever they make you feel like you are always wrong and they are always right, and I know that their constant monitoring can make you feel suffocated. I understand, believe me, I really do pal. 

But let me tell you this: your parents may be older than you, and they may be wiser and more experienced than you, however, just like you, they are humans too. They feel pain, they get hurt, they make mistakes, they crave love, they want to be heard and understood, and they have their moments of vulnerability. For that reason, just like you, they also deserve to be cared for, listened to and understood, no matter how strict they may seem.

Lastly, remember, "TWO WRONGS will NEVER make A RIGHT," so whenever you are tempted to react negatively, breathe in, breathe out, calm down, and try to understand them, for in the end, nothing will ever change the fact that they love you immensely. Yes, they really do, believe me.
