It can be difficult to stand up for yourself. But are you being true to yourself if you do not? Are you doing yourself any favors in following what someone else tells you to do in your life for fear of losing their support?

I know the family unit is changing,But the economy has changed,the way of the family life,an how the 80's have tought us.An now that we are into the 2010,which we never thought it would be?
An so now we have to face it,the hard way! It is tough for all,you are not alone. Can we ask the Obama's not to have a tree,as we try an struggle to have a tree in are own home,but theirs is given free,an the electric we pay for the lighting? An the Family is Going Green,how is this? Shouldn't the President,try an conserve? I have my budget,an i conserve? So why not the control of the Nation,with politics and culture. We as Humans!!! can only cut back so much! The Goverment needs to cut back also. Do you need a Designer Dress to Live, Is the Obama's Green? My answer, will be No. Just my opinion,an so... Life ,live on! Peace be with:) |

I think the question reveals boys – girls differences. No boy will ever admit that his family and friends influence his decisions. No girl will ever admit that she may express disrespect to her family and friends. Nobody will ever admit one’s mental disability to make decisions. -- And that will be correct; everyone is personally responsible for one’s decisions (with advice or without). Well, since I'm a woman, not a girl, maybe it makes sense that I don't give a rat's azz what my family and friends think about my choices? Actually, I've known more men who cared about what their family thought, compared to women, who didn't give a chit. |

I used to think exclusively as you describe, but I've moderated a bit from there. It's all well and good to live your life as you feel is best, and according to your own principles. However, as you are OF your parents as well as being FROM them, you still have to take them into account somehow in your life. No matter how far you try to go away from your roots, they will still affect you.
There was a fellow here recently who THOUGHT he was going to prove his parents wrong, by marrying outside his heritage. He felt they were unrealistically restraining in their views. After he married, he found that he STILL carried within himself, the same heritage that caused his parents to say "stay within our group." His marriage failed, because he tried to ignore the full extent of his total self, which inevitably included his family and it's heritage. So yes, be free, but also be aware of your ENTIRE self, and live your life by the BIG picture you are a part of. |
