Parents, Why Do They Always Assume They're Right?

Every kid in the world is getting punished for the wrong reason. I would know because i have experienced it! Kids voices are never heard and in my opinion no one cares but the kids. Little sisters and brothers, big sisters and brothers, how come they always get away with it? Why don't they get punished? Why don't your parents hear your voice? Parents always assume they're right but why? They just want to get it over and done with! They don't have the time for their kids and they call them selves our parents. They just point the finger at the wrong person they don't care about what really happened they just don't have the time to discipline their children, they call themselves civilised people! I know i want my voice to be heard and it's time for you to speak up! It works because now my parents have realised kids are more important than work. They don't point the finger at me anymore. Spread the message and SPEAK UP!

Top-level comments on this article: (10 total)Children should be seen and not heard. Your opinions are irrelevant; just obey your parents and do as they say. Whilst you believe you are right now, when you grow up you will realise that children are fools and have nothing to add to the debate. Silence is golden.you are really stupid if you think that. more than often the child is right. i know because i was in the same position. the problem is that parents don't really listen to their children, or they listen as long as they say what they expect them to say. they should not be allowed to keep the child anymore and be sterilized.You must be the sumbest person in the world to think children don't matter. If children don't speak up in life then they feel like they cant do anything. My dad just flipped out on me just because i asked him not to ask my brother really ambarrassing questions while eateing dinner or in front of others and then he left the table i hate it when parents dont give a dam about what kids say Simon you are retarted
Hey Simon, did you give the 5 stars to your comment by yourself? because I hope no one else was as stupid as to do so, parents are NOT always right and if you just want the things by an easy way you are just a person without values and without the courage to accept you might be wrong, I am sure almost every kid in the world might take you on in a debate anyway
in some ways this i right but parents don't always just point a finger and say your the one who did the wrong, i know it seems like it but parents have a good reason for it, parents care a lot about us and thats why they take their job so seriously maybe your taking what your parents are saying in the wrong way, and simon your an idiot its true ids are suppose to be seen not heard but not lately, lately what if your child got rapped you would want him/her to tell you wouldnt you?
Simon: I understand your point of view, but children are people too. They have opinions and ideas about politics and the world just as well as parents and adults, even though they haven't had as many experiences. People are always telling me that i'll understand when i grow up. If that is the case, im off to neverland. Kids should have the right to voice their opinions, and adults should have the kindness and compassion to listen to them.--Katie, age 14
Part of being perfect is learning to admit and fix your mistakes.You can't help others until you help yourselves which I never understood until recently.That's the problem Jesus had is that he thought everything about himself was perfect but in reality he likely had to grow up just as we did but he overlooked that since he was in his teens when he had his first message from (God) or was it Satan all along?Maybe being killed on the Cross was God's (karma) for trying to make himself equal and Christains took it the (other) way when he got angery at the money-dealers and called the place a (den of thieves) which lighted/ignited the ticking time bomb.Jesus was bound to get into trouble sooner or later and he did.The bible dosen't mention what Jesus did in his daily life unless you spoke a particuler message so we don't know what ewent behid the scenes.That rule of being scene and not heard is what causes pride and arragonce as you bottle everything up inside and it will trail the children into the adulthood world in which they will do somethint quite possibly WMD extreme.
I was raised to totally respect your parents and not to argue with them, and this is how all children should be raised. While we maynot always be right, when it comes to our children we are right. Even when a parent is wrong is should not be allowed for the child to say so. I grew up with that old saying children are to be seen and not heard. Argueing with a parent is not respectful, children need to learn to bite their tongues and just say yes sir no sir, yes mam no mam, and move on. That is how I was raised and that is how I am raising my child. its not a hcilds place to argue with a parent its their place to obey what their parents say without discussion or talk about it, in other words without backtalk.Age 33 dad
It really is almost sad to see so many silly people out there, namely Simon and the other Anonymous, 33 year old "dad." Parents are supposed to raise a child in the best way so that they may become successful in life. If parents are so dumb as to never listen or admit they are passing along these bad ideas to their kids. Let it be known that a CEO or executive would never get along by thinking like that. Not listening to a child lowers self esteem and halts their growth. It is absolutely a horrible thing a parent can do. I do agree with Katie in the sense that parents should listen to children, and children should listen to parents. That is part of raising a child - helping him feel important but yet instiling discipline to him. The phrase "children should be seen and not heard" is a recipe for failure. And no, parents are definitely not always right. I actually have an IQ far higher than my mom (mine is close to Mensa level) and am a straight A student, which is far better than my mom. Yet I have been raised and am what Simon would likely call "spoiled."13 year-old student
where is all the love and respect between parents and children gone? i think it should be mutual love and respect for each other and excepting each other for exactly how they are....(i.e with positives and negatives) is what makes a happy family! so thankful to God for such a blessed family with all the understanding and love..we do have our share of arguments but healthy ones ... we learn on every step on life...afterall its only human to make mistakes and learn from them.
parents will always favour the smallest if your the eldest son then your always going to be the black sheep . mine have disowned me completelly just cause my youngest brother is a drug dealing twat and blames me for all his woes police bail etc i moved out 24 years ago hows that my fault . best bit was when the cops kicked the door of the hinges . at 3 in the morning.
hehe , hows that my fault parents , i curse mine .
Parents are always right. Blah blah blah! Just look around at the little kids roaming about on the streets asking for food, coins or even leftover food in garbage drums. They’re even eating the rotten food, just so as to live. Who do you think is responsible for their condition? Their parents of course! If their parents would have put in some effort, such a condition could have been easily averted! But then as you would probably say, “they want the best for their child". GHANTA!
