Is this thing in my benefit and if it is then should I just reject it because it is in my benefit? This is what a psychology of a teenager is mostly. When something is of child’s benefit, you have to think that is it truly in my benefit. If it is then who stands to gain? Ultimately if you earn well in life, lead good life, it is your profit and if you don’t then it is your loss. Parents are not there to partake of your earnings or anything. They are actually saying that it is for your benefit and they are thinking that you are still young, a green bean, you can change but they are already in the ripe stage of their life where they can’t change. Or, it is harder for them to change. The child has to think that what they are asking, if it is really in my benefit? If it is then maybe I can do it. Secondly and even more importantly, even if I don’t want to do it and it doesn’t make sense to me, Can I do just this thing for my parent’s happiness?
What’s the big deal? Why do I have to do everything the way I want? If, I am living in a family, why can’t I just do what my parents are asking me to do? What’s so hard about that? And, learn to negotiate.
