Parent Disapproval

It is not easy to find that one person to love. And when you finally think you did, there is just one problem. This problem usually happens to teens at least once in their life. It is the conflict of your parents’ disapproval.

Usually your parents don’t like the one you love because they think they’re foolish, or it could be the family they come from, or it may be because they don’t want to see you be with that person for the rest of your life.

In movies or stories like Romeo and Juliet, they have the conflict of both of their parents not liking the one they love. In the story they have true reasons why they don’t listen to their parents. But that story did not really happen. If you have this problem, then you have a problem in reality and not a story.

If this situation happens to you, you should ask yourself some questions. When you ask yourself these questions, you going to have to be truly honest. One question you should ask yourself is “Why do I love this person?” Another one could be “Do I have true and deep feelings for this person?” and “Am I on dating this person for popularity?” If you only like someone to make yourself more popular instead of loving them from your heart, then you are just being unfair to a lot of people. A big question to ask yourself is “Is it worth disobeying my parents and going for a person who truly cares for me?”

Some teens sometimes are attracted to someone because of how he or she looks or their race, when you really should love them for whom they are. If you date someone from a different race, sometimes there is a conflict from it and sometimes there isn’t. But some parents find it a problem and if you don’t listen to them then you are going to hurt and lose the people that care for you. So ask you this question “Is it worth losing them for a person different from me?”

Also teens think they are in love with someone when really they are trying to get over their past relationships or they are just trying to make someone jealous. If you think you love someone when you are really doing that, then you should try to end it quick because you could just be heading for disaster in your life.

Sometimes people do fall in love with people different from them or different from your family. After you ask yourself questions and you do think you are in love and you think you could be with this person forever, then all that is left to do is ask your parents why do they disapprove of your love and tell them the reason why you love that person. Stand up for yourself, you know your parents want to see you be happy, tell them this is what makes you happy.
