Our parents help us any time when we need them they never back off from their responsibilities. But sometime they also scold at us when we do something wrong, but i want to know do you take seriously whatever your parents say to you whether its advice or scold?

I listen to what they have to suggest and usually I form my own opinion, as not always the people you ask have advice which is right. Most of the time I do tend to go with what they suggest, although sometimes I might not listen as my parents do see things different from myself.
Really I think it's a wise choice to listen and take it on board, we need to learn ourselves though and sometimes it means doing what we feel is right.

i have always taken a parent's advice seriously. Parents do know what they are talking about. I never had a parent of mine steer me wrong.

Yes we should always follow our parent's advice, for they really care for us.They have a lot of experiences and they know better which is better for us especially when we have not matured yet.
There are teenagers who though that they gained enough wisdom that they do not need their parent's guidance anymore. I think we still need our parents wisdom even when we have matured already or even when they are elders already.

First of all you're wrong to think that all parents are there to help their children and never back down from their responsibility. I know many parents who are never there to help and take little to no responsibility.
That said, I listen when I think it's worth listening to. Parents are just people, they're not infallible.

I do but I am a forgetful person so I don't recall everything so it will look as if I'm not taking them seriously.

No parents are after to what would be bad for its child. I put my high regard with my parents and whatever they advice for good, I take heed on them. During tough times of my life, I always ask my mother for advice and generally, I followed them.
When I was younger though, there are instructions from my parents and sometime, I disobeyed them. When I look back as an adult I have seen the importance of having a parents guiding you along the way. I am glad that my mom and dad are both still with me and felt blest that I still have the best advisers to turn to whenever I have some problems.

I will take seriously what they advice, but I will thinking it before accept it. Sometimes their advice is too shallow, because their knowledge not on our era. they seems conservative thinking, and not up to date. We must explain it carefully if we not agree with their conservative thinking.
do you agree with me?

It depends on the situation. If they scold me because of lovelife, I too answer them back. And If they seem to be too strict, even when I was a teenager. Anyway, I do also listen to their advice, but at times I am stubborn too. I also try to express my point of view to them, and they too listen to me, once they realize my reasons are valid

As my parents are no more in this world, the question is not applicable to me. But what I can say is that when they were alive, I used to obey them always. If I anytime felt anything different from them, I tried to make them understand my views and if they agreed with me, it was OK for all of us, but if they differed from me, it was also quite OK for me. Now at this age, I really miss them all the time.

Sometimes i am troubled and do not know what to do. I go to my parents and ask advice on what is the better solution to the problem. Sometime in our lives the only person that can help us are our parents because they are willing to give a hand and does not hesitate. Sometimes when i commit mistakes where they got over board, my parents get angry and give some scolding and words of thought. but it does not mean that i would not listen anymore to their words.
