"Let it be right or wrong, I just want my mom and dad to know everything that I do & I don't care what anybody else thinks about it.
I'm unlike the other decent obedient girls for I'm wild and a little spoilt but at least I'm being the real me in front of my parents. Absolutely, no lies."
My parents have been more of best friends to me. I tell them everything. I can talk to them about anything especially to mom, she is too cool. Whereas, dad. He is also jovial and easy to get along with but as a dad to three daughters, he is protective and possesive. I can't stand him at times when the topic of guys arises between us and he'll be like, "No, you don't know about these guys. You're still a little girl. You don't really know the world today". Yet he is friendly to my guy friends. and talking about guy friends, I needa tell you. I am an introvert and I usually learn a hard way talking to guys at early conversations. I have this ego in me which never lets me to talk to a guy without him approaching me first. I don't talk to any random guy. Perhaps that's why by a glance, they call me arrogant.
Well, what to blame ? I WAS from a girls' school where boys used to look like aliens for me. Now that I am studying in a boys' school things have changed, my thoughts have changed and to be more specific, I changed. I have more guy friends than girl friends. I started to feel comfortable talking and being with guys. I find less dramas in them and most important of all, they are so cool. They bully me so often, I mind but again I get this extraordinary privilege of being their center of attention all the time.
Back to the topic at hand, my parents know each of my friend. I ensure they do. I am 19 now. I guess not all the time, things go well between parents and their grown up children no matter how cool both can be. My opinion is once you're 18, it's always the best way to stay away from family. For many reasons. After the age of 18, our circle of friends gets wider and of course even the nerdiest teen owns a social life. Everybody does but it only comes to true realisation when friends replace family. When you eventually start to keep your social life healthy, you will face problem with either your mom or dad or why not ? BOTH. When it comes to your social life, there would be at least one thing that your parents do not and will not agree with. They think going out with a guy can only be called dating instead of meeting.
And FRIENDS. Talking about friends, they are all the same to me regardless of their gender. May it be a he or she, no difference it makes to me. I crack the same jokes, I talk the same nonsense, I sing the same crap, and I be the same fool while being with them.
Perhaps you would wonder, why am I even talking about this ? Well, I have been thinking about some girl-boy friendship issues lately. What do you think when you see 6 guys and a girl hanging out together ? or to be precise, what do you think about that girl ? Lemme list down the facts. First, those 6 guys are nobody but her schoolmates, she calls them friends. Second, her parents know those 6 guys as they have been to her house. Third, she told her parents the truth that she is going out with ONLY GUYS with no girls and her dad drove her to the place. What else matters ? that "Yindian" society that we are living around ? about what those "Yindian" uncles and aunties may think about that girl ? It's time to go against the stereotypical "Yindian" mentality. and a note to you if you are reading this post, DO NOT JUDGE ME YET. I haven't said enough.
