Communicating in High School
Being a high school student and trying to communicate with people that are not going threw some of the things that you are going through can be difficult. Adults always think that they know everything better than you because they already 'experienced' it. I feel like they have it wrong, every person is different and lives different experiences in life. Just because someone's parent had a hard life or got pregnant at a young age, doesn't give them the right to limit their son/daughter to go out and experience life. People learn from their mistakes, and that's why i think it's hard to communicate when your in high school because adults already think they know that your going through. Some parents don't let you explain how you feel and if you do they think your "crazy" or whatever they think of.

Julie, yes you are some what right. Adults do prevent some kids to go out because of their past experiences but in my personal point of view I think its better if someone can prevent a bad experience rather than you go through it.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way Julie. Communicating can be a difficult thing to do first to actually be open and talk and also getting out the right words you want, it can be a challenge.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I know what you mean when you say you have to experience something to learn from it, however, I also understand the parent's or adult's perspective of setting limits or rules too, especially, because they may have experience an interesting past. The unfortunate dilemma that people your age face is that you are in the zone where you may be at the adult age, but you still live at home and must abide by the rules that exist. This will not be for long. In addition, there are numerous studies that discuss this mindset that you speak of...the idea that the adults don't know anything or that they can’t possibly relate to what you may be experiencing at the moment. This may not fully be what some of your point is, but it is an issue among your generation and an issue for many between the ages of 13-25.

I agree with you Julie people take communication very differently. We communicate with one another that only few people get and understand.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Julie, everyone is different and because we are in high school adults tend to compare us with other students instead of getting to know us personally. Communicating with adults can be difficult sometimes.
ReplyDeleteJulie I agree with your post. I hate when adults give you the "I know this I am an adult" excuse. While I do believe it is important to respect adults, I do think that even adults can learn a thing or two from a young person.
ReplyDeleteI understand where you're coming from, our parents sometimes seem to forget they were young once. I also put myself in their shoes because it's not easy to talk to us teenagers since we are so used to doing things our way and thinking only we are right. It goes both ways!

ReplyDeleteWith this post Julie I agree with it because I do think that other need to go out and experience different aspects of life and different communication skills with others. Also how parents do think that our generation is the same to when they were kids or our age.
