Life: Why Does Life Always Seem so Hard?
So all those times when you were young and you parents told you do something a certain way they weren't doing it to make you please them, they were teaching you the right way about life. And there are still people to this day who feel their parents were just trying to control them. That's not it, they are teaching you for the better, they are changing you into young adults and starting the shaping of a beautiful life for their children. My dad and i fihgt pretty much everyday, and i am so much like him that itsw not funny. i am always hearing that im so much like my father. Granted thats not a bad thing i love my father to death, but i dont like fighting with him, but god knows 99.9% of the time my father is right. When your yong your parents teach you everything that seems like it is going to be hard. They potty train you, the try to teach you to read, and write, and speak. we as childreen feel we sit around and we have its so ahrd and that our lifes are hard, but what we dotn see is our parents have the hardest job of all. That's making sure there is a roof over their families head, food in the house, and yet still have time to make sure their family isnt falling apart. life is going to be hard, you just learn to roll with the punches and when you fall off your horse you get back on and continue to ride. I am not saying to take the easy way out and try to keep things simple in life. But life is only hard when you pu tyourself in the postion to set yourself up to fail or put yourself in the situation to make your life hard.
As parents you constantly worry about making sure you have a job, and yet still hav etime for your family. Sometimes it may not always seem that way. Paretns get stressed out and feel they have bad days at work, then they come home and take it out on their families. but hey i understand i am 18 years old, my parents are constantly yelling at me. But they way i look at it is they need to get their anger out sometimes, so i am pretty much use to the yelling and i let it go in on eear and out the other. Their are alot of families out in the world who go through this, the point i snot to give up on your family, when there is a problem dont turn your back. Let them know that you love them and that life is a beautiful thing and that you'll aways be apart of their life. You should never run from your problems.

Wow great article.....!!!!
One more thing Julie, I didn't see anywhere on your profile whether or not you are attending college. This would be a wonderful place to begin, if you like to write perhaps a Journalism degree. Just a thought. Again, like I said choices will ultimately effect our future. It is my hope that you will choose wisely in your youth so there aren't more hardships later on when you're my age ;)

All parents fail from time to time which is unfortunate, of course. Then, children grow up and move out. Some of those children have had it pretty bad in life. When those children grow up though, they have to take responsibility for thier own happiness and that means sometimes having to parent themselves, be their own best friend. To do that, takes a whole lot of work that's for sure. There are lots of young adults floating about in this world, getting along in the world because they chose NOT to let their past taint their future. Like A.M. Morgan stated perfectly, "We have to learn how to address problems and conflict or it will eat away at our spirit." Such a true statement. One can't change the past but one is ultimately in charge of one's future. You have to grow yourself up...and that is really all there is to it.

You're right, It's a hard Knock life.. If you are not prepared, life can certainly take its toll.
Well, I didn't realize there was a length limit for comments. I've sent you my "comment" in a message. I suggest you work on your grammar and spelling, because it reflects on yourself, Associated Content staff, and all of us who write. You fail to mention abusive parents, or circumstances that our out of our control. You *apparently* don't understand that youth work, pay taxes, attend school, and are often depended on, financially, by family. Please don't insult those of us who have faced hardships in life.
Julie,
I feel like this might be a slightly romanticized image of the family system. The world is not "cruel and hateful"; assuming that all parents act on the same motivations seems shallow.
The truth is some families *are* abusive. Some people are *not* healthy, mentally. Abuse is *not* (legal) preparation for the "real world". In the "real world", youth work, pay taxes, enroll in school, and are given few rights for the responsibilities they take on. Ever heard of "neglect"? Assuming that *all* parents provide for children is *wrong*.

I'm glad you understand your parents. I understand, too. It's called "projection". I'm not responsible for the events at my parents' workplace. I don't expect to be punished for them. A good parent - and, arguably, a good person - should not take out th
Yes,sadly I understand. Thanks.
Great article. We have to learn how to address problems and conflict or it eat away at the spirit.
