To what extent should children obey their parents?

Recommended Posts

When you are a teenager, and living at home, should you obey all the wishes of your parents, or do you reach a point where you are allowed to defy some of the more unreasonable ones? If they put their foot down and tell you that a decision is FINAL, do you have the right to tell them 'no' and do as you please anyway?

 

This could range from anything; from when they expect you to be home at weekends, to what music you are allowed to like, to what you should choose in school, what clothes you ought to wear, and who your friends are. Discuss.

Hmmmm, I don't really know, my parents haven't really ever told me what friends to have, what music to listen to, what clothes to wear, and all of their curfew scheduling has a pretty fair basis.

 

The only rules they really have for me are just about: You're not allowed to do drugs, Not allowed to drink, don't drive with anyone unless we approve it, and stuff like that.

 

Oh, and I also have to tell them when I'm going over my friends house, which isn't really hard to do, just call em'

 

 

But I suppose if they changed ANY of that I'd be pretty upset, just because I wouldn't be used to it.

You are your own person, so, whilst you live in their house, do stuff they ask of you, such as chores or other tasks to help them, but if you are set on something you really want to do, that's within reason, remember that they don't own you, and you should be able to do what you want.

To what Extent?

 

To whatever extent the child deems nessicary to keep their parents in a tolerable mood and allowes their freedom/limitation to be just as tolerable. I listen to my parents, do what they ask if its not ridiculous. *sigh* I have to mow the lawn. But I still stay out as late as I deem it nessicary. They don't mind usually, so it doesn't cause controversy.

^This is the truth.

 

If a child dishonors his/her parents, he/she shall be stoned to death:

 

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son ... Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city ... And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die..."-Deuteronomy, 21:18-21

 

"And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death." - 21:17 Exodus

 

 

""For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death." -Reiterated by Jesus in Mathew, 15:4

 

"And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean. And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean." " -- Leviticus 13:40-41

 

Well, that last one is a bit irrelevant I suppose.

 

You see that the command to kill rebellious children is in the new testament as well as the old. There is no denying that if a child is rebellious or dishonoring, he is to be stoned to death. If you are NOT stoned to death, then you and your family are not good Christians and are surely going to hell.

 

I suggest you take that into consideration next time you to decide to sever yourself from your parents suggestions.

 

PS: "And will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall" -- I Kings 14:10

 

Don't pee on the wall!!!!!!!!!

Falling Pizza, I`m not a unbehaved child, I usually sit in my room and eat food and watch tv and play my gameboy and play the computer (litterelly, thats all I do) I barely ever talked to my mom. And I didn`t curse my mother, I`m scared of her though. I`m not alloud to do self deffense (especially to my mom) And I am not stubborn and I am not Rebelious. When my mom calls me, I come right away, I don`t keep sitting there doing nothing. I know that usually kids parents usually commit child abuse for a good reason, but this isn`t. Technically, My mom does that because of my sister. I`ll tell you what happenned - When I was 1-3 years old, I was a happy kid, I always had a great time. But when my sister turned 2, She started to learn, She learned to do bad stuff from TV shows, She started to chase me and hurt me and pinch me, Although, my mom also started getting mad. My sister never got in trouble. Every time she would try to kill me, she told my mom that I did something that I didn`t, my mom grounded me for life and she starting doing shild abuse when I was 7, She made me get very huge bumps on my head, and Gave me scratches with her nails and Pushed me very hard. When I turned 9 and a half, she got softer but still hurts me. I am 10 right now, and she doesn`t hit me as hard anymore, she usually pushes me on hard stuff. Sometimes I cannot breather because I usually get the win knocked out of me. But I`m used to it. My mom also started swearing at me when I turned 10. But as I am talking, she is beginning to stop. You`d be amazed how a 2 year old girl would make 8 years of you`re life so painful. I usually can take hard hits now, but think about it, if my sister was`nt around untill I turned 10, what would`ve happenned? Actually it`s a good thing she is alive, if she wasn`t I would have a bad life. Everone has a purpose. Skipping that subject, Yes, I have done some things I shouldn`t have, but then again so have you. I haven`t been seeing my family lately anyway. My whole family has been leaving me home alone alot these days. My point is, I am not a unbehaved kid. I hope that answers that comment of you`rs, falling pizza.

Goodness gracious, I was just joking around. I was not aware that children on this forum are ACTUALLY abused.

 

I know that usually kids parents usually commit child abuse for a good reason,

 

There is no such reason.

 

I suggest you call social services and report your mother if she has really done what you say she has done.
