Sometimes it just saddens me to see young people who refuse to see the good behind parents' warnings, advice, and wishes for their children. To make matters worse, those same young people go and confide in peers who do not turn their focus on the Lord, but rather sympathize in their grievances against the parents. This certainly does not rectify matters in a way that glorifies God the most; rather, this glorifies the "stifled" child, and widens the chasm between her and her parents.
Parents aren't perfect! But it is absolutely no excuse for children to bring their parents down in the eyes of their friends, nor dishonour them in their hearts. Some parents may be strict than others, but young people must not complain. Or they are shaking their fist against God.
Young people complain that parents are overbearing and suppress them from being who they really are. The question is, who is the real you? A person who seeks to glorify God in her life in all circumstances, or a rebel?
