So it may sound like a very obvious statement, but as we grow up so many things change around us. Many of these changes we never would have thought would change. It has been send a million times over but the teenage years, I believe, are truly one of the biggest times of growth and change in a person's life. We go to high school, get a little more freedom, make new friends and lose old ones and lets not even get int all the crazy places we grow hair and fat on our bodies. The one thing that does stay the same and which definitely has in mine, is the relentless love and support of our families through all the scary changes.
As a seventeen year old girl I can definitely say that my relationship with my mother hasn't always been the easiest and it will never be perfect. We will constantly clash (as we are so alike), although now after going through all the horrors of puberty and hormone changes I appreciate everything my mother has and will do for me. I have been a complete little b*tch to her at times, but through it all she has always had faith that I would grow to become a good person, in which I believe I am becoming. My mum is seriously my best friend and now I feel comfortable talking to her about anything. The biggest thing that this turbulent, hormonal roller coaster of a relationship has taught me is that MUMS KNOW BEST.
As teenagers we sometimes forget that our parents have already been through all the mean teachers, horrible peers and fake friends. Seriously our mothers are equipped more than anyone to give us advice on anything from friend problems to school issues. I have had to learn this the hard way. For example, two of my friends my mum has never liked, she always said she couldn't trust them and that she thought they were not good people for me to be around. These girls were my absolute closest friends, so as a typical teenager I ignored what my mum said and remained very close with them. It wasn't until things got busy and hard in my life that I realised these girls were not actually true friends to me, my mother was right... To make her even more right the girls she had liked and I had always seen as my second friends, were actually the ones that stuck by me and to this day are still my closest and most trusted friends. This is just one of the many times that I hate to admit but I should have listened more to my mum...
Bye for now
