Important People.

"You tell your mom everything?"
Yes. Of course. Why is that even surprising?
It blows my mind how many individuals are shocked when they hear that piece of information about myself. To be completely honest, it is hard sometimes, especially when I do something that I know will disappoint her, or other times when she feels the need to assist in my person struggles I face in high school, but I do not intend to stop informing her about what I am going through. I feel as if a lot of high school students do not want to tell their parents anything because of the privacy they think they are entitled to, or the fear of disappointment they think they will receive, or the fact that no one else does. Honestly, I would recommend letting your parents in on everything, they have been in high school before, they survived. They may have not been in the exact same situations you have been going through, but that does not mean that they do not know anything about high school, odds are that they know more than you give them credit for. If anything, they will be there for you to vent to and even cry to when you need them. Their opinion on how to handle any situation you are put in is probably better than your knee-jerk reaction to it, because they have the mental capacity of an adult, they can tell you the best way to handle it maturely.
Other than them being able to give you advice and sympathize with you, telling your parents everything gives you a moral compass. I believe that it makes you think twice about decisions you are making because you question what your parents would think of which one you would make. This is not a bad thing. If your parents only want what is best for you, then thinking of them in places where you could yourself into a sticky situation, would benefit you. Why would one want to learn lessons the hard way if they do not have to? Stay on good terms with your parents kids, laugh at their jokes and attempts at selfies, and maybe they will help pay for college.
