The recent times have become such that we all are torn between two lives. At this young age we all want to go out there and have some crazy fun with our friends and experiment with various things. On the other hand, we have to be obedient and disciplined children to our parents also. Although, some of us are very smart who can handle both these lives with great confidence. While some of us, in order to live both lives, create a mess of their life. We all feel this but we have never really sat down and thought about it!We all are indeed living a very challenging life. We have to go for a friend’s farmhouse party, also attend a family function, attend college, go to help our moms and dads in their office, and of course give time to our girlfriends/boyfriends!! We do all these activities with equal dedication and enthusiasm.
However, today I am writing here for those people who cannot express their feelings about their messed up and torn apart life. It is about those people who want to go out with friends but also don’t want to hurt their parents. Our culture is rapidly changing and due to the age gap between us and our parents has made things complicated. We always say that our parents will never understand how we feel. But we fail to understand that no one knows us better than them. I agree that sometimes it becomes difficult to convince them about something, but eventually they will understand. On the other hand, there is no denying to the fact that if we don’t enjoy our life now then when will we?
Many times we take the support of lies in order to do what our parents would not agree for. But then why do we feel guilty of lying to them? We don’t want to hurt our parents, but also want to do those freaky things we would never be allowed to do. We humans are probably the strangest species walking on this earth. I mean we actually have the capacity to make simple things very complicated.
I am not saying that we shouldn’t have fun with friends, but we also need to understand the consequences of that fun on ourselves, our friends and most importantly our parents. The concerns of our parents are just to protect us, and it is very natural for them to get possessive about us. Instead of lying to them can we not sit with them and make them understand our intentions and assure them of our maturity.
I know it is easier said than done, but I have had personal experience, being a single child I was protected and equally pampered. There were many things that I was not allowed to do, which I wanted to. However when my parents thought it was the right time they let me do it. We all make mistakes and we all say lies to our parents at some point in our life, but it is always better to take the support of the truth even if the results of that is not as per our desire.
Being with friends and partying is surely not bad, there is no harm in it! The only thing is we should know when to stop. If we make a mistake, we must owe up to and not blame it on something like peer pressure. We all learn from our mistakes. Life is complicated. So party hard, go out with friends, but also spend time with you family and friends. Remember there is lot that your family has done for you, so may be its time to give them some happiness too!

The only thing I want to bed is that, In my case , My parents never tell of what I should do and what is not . . . They always mark the consequences . . . And say "choice is yours" . . . You know when take decision with your choice it becomes your responsibility to take care of such things. . . You cannot give any excuses of your mistake . . .and i think this is the best practice to make a child responsible and mature. . .
@The GEEK : I agree to you..that is similar to even what my parents tell me..and in reality this is the best approach..when we make a decision on our own..we must be ready to face the consequence and its makes us more responsible as we take it on ourselves and not blame it on others or the circumstances!!
girl in the pink scarf... this line of thought just provoked another thought in me..
what about those who have understanding parents, great friends.. they party with friends but don't get a chance to be with family due to professional reasons...
"we grow up wanting to get out of home.. but we grow old wanting to go back"... you all are in the stage of growing young and wanting to be out of home... get on to other side... you will realize life was lot better before..
hey pri, this is the best article till now !!!! barvo !!! finally the feeling are coming out for u !!!! and i totally agree with u here !!! but we need to start making decision of our own !!! other wise how will we know if u are taking the rite path .. and what are the consequence of the wrong decision.. and sometimes to know ur own capabilities .. it is imp to more out of the shadows of our patents ...
