I feel same way as u , my mom always compared me with other kids , everytime I got bad result exam , she will say that "Look ,ur friend got 5A straight why can't u be clever like her?

Don't let ur parent conquer ur life so much , chase ur dream for what u want to be ,as teen u have right talk to them. It not like we mean or selfish to them ,but it for ourself. too.

i just want my mom to treat me like a person and not a machine that just spits out good grades and completed homework assignments. unfortunately she thinks treating me like a person (more specifically, someone older than 3) would be "being my best friend instead of my parent" or that treating me with the smallest bit of respect would be disrespectful to her. :/

Truthfully, hearing the phrase 'good for you' would have felt like a slap in the face; like they were distancing themselves from me and my accomplishments.

I struggled more than she did in the end, and she's told me that... In the end, if you make up with your family, things that were broken can be mended, and things that were ruined can be replaced and made new. But you can't get new parents, not without it hurting a lot, anyway.

Early teen here. "Don't ask questions!" This one hurts. It makes us feel like our questions don't matter/are too insignificant. "I'm just looking out for you." NO, this DOESN'T make us feel good or protected. We want to feel independent. When parents say this to us, it makes us feel like little children that need to be watched over. "Because I said so." This ties into "Don't ask questions". We're at the age where we always want to know what's going on. Unless it's particularly sensitive, please tell us. "Stop complaining!" Now, we all complain sometimes. This is perfectly valid when we are specifically trying to complain and aggravate parents. When we're simply voicing our concern, and not rudely? We don't like our concerns brushed off as complaints.

[@craftyhands6262]

I totally agree. Being a pre teen and listening to these will totally hurt. Its just that we are not able to talk to our parents freely about all of this, or even show this vdo to them because they will be like, "Ah! Nothing like that. We don't tell anything to you guys in order to demotivate you, or hurt you." Or, they just laugh it off, which is the most annoying thing ever

I have a lot of younger siblings. half and foster siblings, and i'm older than all of them. when my foster mom told me "be a good example for the younger kids" i looked at her and told her "why don't u teach them right from wrong so that way when i make a mistake, they won't follow? with ur logic u should ban tv since the people in the shows u watch r terrible role models". from that day forward, i lived how i chose, and i fell many times, but she was there to help pick me up and the children then learned that it's okay to make mistakes as long as u learn from them

Topaz 96, it truly depends on the personality of the kid, that way worked for you and that is fine. My parents knew how I operated, so their methods worked specifically for me.

[@katkristar6197]

I see nothing wrong in stating, "I'm (or we're) so proud of you!" , since it truly states how I (we) feel towards my/our child/children. The statement, "Good for you!" although positive, has an air of detachment to it. I've had people (in general, not parents) say this phrase to me and no matter who said it, it always came off as sounding like the person who said it was separating themselves from me by not including how they too felt happy for and connected with me.

[@paveljiran8992]

Kat Kristar : Yeah, we probably think in a similar way. I also don't see anything wrong in saying: "I'm so proud of you!" I wrote a comment which mentioned my point of view for number #4 and #1. I'll copy the comment for you here: It's an interesting video and honestly, I agree with all of the thoughts except number #4 and #1. Reasons why I strongly disagree with number #4 and #1 are described in two following paragraphs. I'll start with number #4. Okay, I understand it's better to focus on the way of achieving the result, rather than just saying "Good job!" But I don't see why you couldn't do both things - saying "Good job!" and then focusing on the way of achieving it. I strongly disagree with that notion you shouldn't praise your child for a good job by showing your reaction. And praising him/her is definitely not in the contradiction with focusing on the way of achieving the result. And now number #1. There is an even more upsetting point of view mentioned in this part of the video. Replacing the sentence "I am so proud of you" by saying "Good for you!" simply doesn't seem warm enough to me. It's almost like saying - "You probably feel good after achieving your goal. I don't care too much but I guess you're happy." I know it's not directly said in this way but it almost looks like saying a stuff like that to me. I would honestly prefer saying something warmer instead - for example: "That's really great you've achieved your goal! You must be so happy! :)"

[@ventiplenti2312]

When my mom told me she was proud of me I actually always felt proud of myself from early childhood on up to even this day! To me it seemed obvious that she basically wanted to say: "Hey, you did that well, you should be proud of yourself!" My mother also told me that a lot when I was insecure about myself and the things I did. She also didn't only recognise actual results, but even if I failed she would still acknowledge how hard I tried. She never even put me down for bad grades, but either felt with me or told me "I know you could have done better." That was hard to hear at the time but honestly: She was right. Although I didn't like hearing it, it was the simple truth. All in all, all these things helped me build my self-esteem and become the person I am today. I guess it really comes down to communication and the actual message the parents want to send to their children using those statements.

Please don't yell at your child for showing emotions. This just makes them think their feelings don't matter. And don't EVER try to tell them what's making them sad. For example, don't tell them someone is bullying them. Because the reason they are crying might be something YOU'RE doing.

[@Redfork2000]

I agree. It's important for teens to know that it's ok to feel sad. It's an emotion like every other, and has a purpose. Parents telling their children to not be sad, to stop crying for no reason is harmful, and it only teaches them to that expressing their emotions is a bad thing and that they must suppress their negative emotions.

The saying,"Its just a phase," Or, "No you cant do that!"(As in,if you lets say want to get your hair cut short and your a girl.Being a young Transgender child)I have had these said to me by my mother many times,it really hurt me and left me pretty scared on how unaccepting she acted towards me.If your kids are showing any signs of being depressed,transgender,homosexual or anything along those lines,help then through it and talk to them.

[@bugs00]

I actually don't agree with what you should say to teens on number four, asking them how they came up with certain details. Sometimes there really isn't any reason, especially for drawings, and I know those questions would really stress me out. Anyways, I've heard all of these statements from my dad!!! I hate it, but I have to deal with it.

[@charles8601]

Willow Draws Asking for details about one's work sounds like a great way to get one into the habit of thinking critically about the choices they're making. The answer doesn't even need to be drawn out, it can just be "I just like how it looks," maybe one would start thinking about why that is and experiment with what colors match and compliment each other or other art aspects, I'm not really into that.

[@dbelow_1556]

Well, Charles, a kid just wouldn't know that, they'd likely be stressed out because(and this is especially the case with teens gping through school where I don't know is never an acceptable answer) they think a short answer like that would be wrong, and make them look silly

[@charles8601]

dbelow _ Then make it clear that a short answer is okay? If the parent and kid already have a good relationship, that wouldn't be a problem. (I say "kid" because it looked like the video was implying they meant kids aged from 5-13 for some of these despite "teens" being in the title)

[@reubensarts7787]

I think a better way to deal with it is to say "Explain the picture (as a whole) to me" or asking what was their favourite part of it or say why you like it. It would encourage the discussion the video is suggesting is needed and is also not the disinterested quick reaction that children would usually receive

[@greendog0715]

I agree, I would prefer a parents honest opinion and advice as opposed to being questioned, I would feel uncomfortable and feel as if they were asking the questions because they don’t like the decisions I made.

[@gAm3r_GuRl984]

#2 kinda brought bad memories. My Aunt died 2 years ago. I miss her so much. I cry myself to sleep thinking of her. I always ask her “Can you see me?” This was a very sad memory in my life. I didn’t want my aunt to die so soon, But everyone dies at some point. My Aunt died at 60 years old. I just hope she can see me from Heaven. I went to her funeral and I cried so much. She will always be my heart. I bet she can see me from Heaven. I was 10 years old when my aunt passed away. Now I am Almost 13. My Aunt is watching me from Heaven. This was a very sad memory for me. My Aunt died in November. November 2018 was kinda a bad day for me. I miss my Aunt. She will always be there for me. I miss my Aunt so much. I will never forget her... I am crying right now Like this comment if you feel sorry for me :(

Lucas Xavier : Exactly! It's almost like saying that! Saying "Good for you!" is such a bullish! It's literally like saying: "You probably feel good after achieving your goal. I don't care too much but I guess you're happy." That's why I would honestly prefer saying something warmer instead - for example: "That's really great you've achieved your goal! You must be so happy! :)"

Don't say these: "Oh look, these are so cute!" Your teen isn't 5. Most of them are emo and hate cute. "Don't you like it?" If someone expresses a disliking to something, asking "don't you like it?" Puts pressure on your teen to agree with you . When I made the decision of taking what I wanted rather than my mom wanted, I was happy.
