Are parents the
best teachers?
Here, in Armenia, people think that parents are the best
teachers. They know more than children, know what's right and good for them. Here
parents choose a religion for their children, also in some families, they choose
friends, profession, food, clothes, hobbies and much more for their children,
and think that it's normal. If you go to some villages, far from Yerevan, you'll
see, that kids look and think like their parents, and seems like a 4 years old
kid, is a 40 years old man.
I really hate this
fact in Armenia. Parents don't let their children think by themselves, and
that's not right. Yes, you can choose clothes or food for your kid, when he's very
small, and can't understand everything yet. But you can't choose something
personal for him like a boyfriend/girlfriend, orientation or religion.
Sometimes parents worry about their children too much. They
think, that they can't do anything by themselves and that they don't know much
to live on their own. They don't let children think and want them to be just like
themselves.
Parents really know more than us, they are older and
smarter, but not everything they teach us is what we need. This is our own
life, and we're responsible for our decisions. Of course, we must listen to our
parent's advice, but we must think and realize before following them. Each of us deserves to choose his own life, and do what he likes, and not what his parents want.
Luckily I don't have such problems yet. 🙃
