Is being a teenager the most challenging thing in life part 2

-

In our lives parents are very important people, they are the ones who care for us and brought us in to this world and whatever happens to us, they are going to be the only people by our side.
In a teenager’s world where constant peer pressure is present, teens often see their parents as the people who try to stop them being like their friends and the rest of society. Teens often believe that their parents follow old-fashion ways and are not up-to date with how the world is functioning. They believe their parents do not know the latest trends and ideas that are out there and are dull and boring. Some ridicule their parents when they ask them to help them work their phone or when they say a slang word incorrectly, others just see their parents as a constant barrier to having a good time.

However, many teens forget that the reason why their parents intervene in their lives is because they love and care for them and never want to see them in harms way. They forget their parents are the only ones who desire for them to have a life better than their and would never envy them for that but would hug and congratulate them in comparison to the rest of the world who envy and wish them dead just because of the slightest achievement they reach. Thus parents are tools taken for granted, loved when they can give what the teen wants and hated once they say know to what the teen wants and desires.

Teenagers attitude and thoughts about their parents
Unfortunately, the reasons for this are the constant peer pressure kids are exposed to by other kids. Kids often tease each other if a child is brought to school by his parents, follows his parental guidelines and is constantly respects them. These kids are referred to as 'Mamma's boy'girl' or incompatible to making their own decisions because 'Mommy and Daddy do it for you'. Such are told their weak and could never survive in the real world because they are constantly protected and never allowed to do things on their own.
Teens targeted with such words make it their aim to prove that they are not what is being said about them and sadly begin a process to shut their parents out of their lives. they slowly sever the relationship between them and their parents as they begin to see them as the common cause for their bullying, parents in turn not knowing why their child has behavioral changes as he/she don't share their problems. Kids constantly begin to use the phrase, 'my parents don't understand me or my condition and that they know nothing about me' when tensions start to occur when children begin to cross the parental set guidelines.
Movies and shows kids watch further fuels these tensions as the entertainment world portrays parents intellectually inferior beings and uncool. Others present them as the reason why kids can't be free to express themselves. If you look at a variety of Disney animated movies, you will see that parents don't usually exist in the hero or heroine's struggle to finding out who they really are. But the question is, what role does Disney animated movies do to the parents of the protagonists of their movies? Most of the time, they have only two places for parents. Either they die or are seen as the one who opposes the hero/heroine's decisions.....

Words are sharper than a knife

-
Words are apart of our lives and we use them every second of our lives. Words can be a sense of pride, for instance, we laugh and cheer when a baby says their first word or speaks in a complete sentence for the first time. words are beautiful, but they can also have a dark side. Words can hurt, they can scar and change a person's life forever. That is why it is important for our tongues to have a leash as it can cause so much damage. As individuals we live on emotion, we require love, care and respect to fully function and the words we choose to say to someone can effect an individual. That is why backbiting, slandering and all forms of negative deeds that can be done through words are not allowed. The tongue puts an individual in the most trouble as you are most likely to offend someone with your words than your fists or weapons. Most of the time we believe we are making a harmless comment about a friend, family member or an individual but it is harmful as it is easier to repair...

starting a new year

-
2017 has begun and it was welcomed the same way 2016 was welcomed and 2015 and all the years before that. Laughter, fireworks and big parties are thrown to mark the end of the previous year and welcome the new one but after that live goes back to normal again. Reaching a new year is a blessing because it gives us the chance to contemplate on the previous year and make a change to the new year that has started. Many people do not have this chance because they did not reach the new year and since we did not know we will reach the next year we should use this opportunity wisely. Every day we get to see the sun rise to a new day and breathe the air of that day is a chance to make a difference in our lives. It is a chance to be thankful for the blessings we have never been thankful for before that we have been given before they are lost. The prophet (s.a.w) told us to remember Allah during are times of prosperity so he may remember us during our periods of adversity. It is a chance...

Be Thankful

Sometimes as people we are the ones who burden ourselves in ways that are not necessary and one of the biggest ways we do is by aiming to be what we are not. We love to be what we are not, trying to be a person that is not us by wearing the mask of another. We do not develop our sense of self but try to live the life of another and this leads us to insecurities and self-doubt. The reason for this is that we want to live the life of another by burying the real us deep inside and each time the real us stares at us, we continue to lock it up by looking for more things and others techniques on how they live.   This leads us to something called overconsumption and begin to hurt ourselves as we always want what we do not have but are never thankful for what we already have. We may be healthy, fit, have the necessities in our lives but we continue to see our lives empty because we are focused on what’s missing, not what’s already there. This leads to overconsumption as w...
