Keepin it Real

1. Yes, because it wouldn’t make sense to write about what you don’t know. If you wrote about what you don’t know, then you wouldn’t know what you are talking about. You’ll sound dumb giving advice about something that you have no experience with. I think that if you’re ever to give advice to someone, then you have to actually go through that situation. That way when you give advice you can tell that person how you got through the situation. 2. My first tip would be not to push the kid too hard. Parents tend to keep a tight grip on their kids. Maybe because the parents want them to be successful, or the parents want them to have a better life then they did, or because the parents love them too much to let them go, or even because the parents don’t trust them. Keeping your grip too tight will make things worse. The teenage might become rebellious, or even crazy. Some parents expect too much from their teenagers, but parents need to learn how to give their kid some personal space. My second tip would be to just listen to what your teenager has to say. Teenagers never want to talk to their parents about things because the parents never want to listen to the teenager’s side of the story. Parents always think that they are making up some kind of excuse, or the kids lying, or even because the parent just doesn’t want to understand. Sometimes the parent doesn’t care about what the kid has to say about the situation, or they assume that they already know what’s going on. My third tip would be to love you child. A lot of times teenagers might feel emotionally abandoned by their parents. Sometimes parents don’t always think about the teenager’s needs, and just assume that they can do for themselves. Parents need to understand that not only little kids need love and attention, but so do teenagers. 10. I don’t think that family should ever be involved in your relationships. If a family member is venting to you about their relationship situations and wants a little advice, then that’s okay. But I don’t think that you should make yourself officially part of the situation. It’s not your job to be a marriage counselor and fix their problems for them, because that can always make things worse than they already are. I personally don’t like getting involved in my family members relationships. When they talk to me about their problems I always tell them to do what they think is right. I would suggest them to try different things, but I would never tell them what to do or what not to do. 22. I think that life is full of everything, but it’s what you make out of it. Nobody has a perfect life. Yes there are some that have better one’s then others, but even theirs is not perfect. Everybody has their disappointments in life, but not everybody let’s those disappointments stop them from living their life.
