For once, I have fought for what I believe is right. Have you?

As a child, it is but normal to obey our parents. They know more about life and they are just doing things which they think are best for their child/children. Sometimes parents fail to ask what their child wants and may even deny what the kids request. Nevertheless, they are doing things for good reasons. The situation is not quite right when parents still keep on insisting their will on what their grown-up kids should do. They forgot that people grow, that they are getting old and that they should be changing their roles from dictators to advisers, coach or simply listeners. I am concerned though that youth nowadays are in a hurry to grow. They think they already know everything that they can do just what they want. It is nice for young people to learn to be assertive, to do what they think is right and to stand by what they believe in. However, standing just for the sake of doing what one wants without even considering why their parents want otherwise is something unwise in my opinion. From time to time, young ones should look at their folks point of view as parents should try to fit into their child's shoes. It should not always be a matter of what one wants and likes but also on what makes others happy.
