In high school we all grow and work on discovering ourselves and finding out who we are. This makes it easy to be misunderstood by people that have known you your entire life, especially your parents. In high school, I always felt like they misunderstood me, as if they never went through being a teenager before. At times it felt like we were from two different worlds and we could never agree on anything. This put a strain on our relationship and caused many arguments. With time I realized how much I missed the relationship we had. I realized that they were only trying to do what they thought was best for me because they cared. Whenever I felt misunderstood I would calmly explain how I felt instead of getting angry. We started talking more instead of fighting which helped our relationship. As I look back I realize how many lessons they taught me and thank them for always looking out for me.
