You know that lots of parents are paranoid with their children not being well-brought up? That when "outsiders" will look at the parents disgustedly because of their offspring? That the parents are too scared of losing their faces and reputation?
We can't call them selfish cos, I mean, WHO in the world wants a bad rep?
BUT parents are OBLIVIOUS to the fact that being a good role model can help sculpt your children.
After all, what you see in your children is what you are. So when you scold them for being rude, it MIGHT be because you haven't set a good example.
Like, for example:
This situation is like, SO POPULAR or something.
when the exams are nearing, the parents for sure will ORDER the children to go study. They'll start scolding and stuffs and calling them lazy and that they should be HARDWORKING.
PLUS! The parents don't supply the children with a special study room?
AND the parents don't even study themselves!! They are TOTAL HYPOCRITES. They just watch TV because "you are the one who's supposed to study, not ME."
What kind of attitude is this!?
A BAD one. That's what.

Example number TWO:
The parents scold the child for every thing possible since they were little tots.
That is total destruction of a person's self-esteem and confidence FYI.
And when the children grows to be a teenager, which I remind you, is the time when people become really, really REBELLIOUS? And they will just use the parent's attitude on them.
Who can the parents blame but themselves??

OK.
For one thing, I got this motivation to talk about this topic is cos I'm reading Anna Frank right now so yeah.
I hate her mom and Mrs. Van Daan.
so it's not cause I hate my parents. It's just because of the book I'm reading right now.
Poor Anne.
