It is Not a Law That You Have to Respect Your Parents
If your parents don’t respect you, don’t respect them.
For the longest time, it’s been told to respect your parents. Doesn’t matter how bad of a parent they are, you have to respect them or else you’re a bad kid. Which is a crock of shit. We need to stop living in the olden days, and start being smarter about things we tell kids. We instill them with fear and guilt, rather than respect for them self and an open mind. Why do you think a lot of kids never come forward until they’re later years about child abuse? It’s because they thought THEY were the bad guy in the situation. A parent can do no wrong, simply because they either popped you out or got the girl pregnant so that she can pop you out. But it’s much so incorrect.
Every day a child gets abused, in one way or another. And these days cops listen to the adults more than the kids. It’s like they take sides, with out even really asking the kid the story. They assume oh it was discipline, or oh they were a bad kid. And I’ve seen this first hand. I know plenty of people who have went to the cops and it totally backfired. I’m not saying DON’T go to the cops, it’s worth the shot. Maybe in your district you will have cops that care. Or at least A cop that cares. But, don’t get your hopes up.
The point of this article is that there are drunken parents, drug addict parents, abusive parents, and just plain old pieces of shit parents. They are not golden idols, they are JUST PEOPLE TOO. Meaning they CAN do bad things. And they should get punished for it. Not congratulated for being a parent who gives discipline when it’s really not discipline. So if you are a kid, and you’re parents are pieces of shit… Don’t put up with it. Get out of the house as much as possible, and tell your school counselors and local police men/women, and your teachers, and whoever else that you think could help.. Tell them the abuse you go through, and that you want it to stop. You may be in the custody of the state, but it’ll beat the abuse. And hey, maybe you can live with a family member or a friend so you don’t have to live somewhere the state decides to put you. But DON’T stay there until you are 18. Because you never know how bad it will get further down the line.. And you deserve better than that. So take action, and stand up for yourself. Help yourself out.
And if you’re parents aren’t what the state calls “abusive”, but they’re still terrible people.. Just stay clear of them, so that you never end up like that. You don’t need them to drain you and who you are. Don’t listen to people who say you’re the bad one. Because if they have done shitty things to you, and you didn’t do anything terrible to them… Then you most likely didn’t deserve it. So get free

Respecting your parents only applies to those parents who do what a parent should do, not the abusive ones. If you have an abusive relationship, then like Ashley says, get clear of it! Don’t put up with abusive situations, and that doesn’t apply to your mom making you eat Brussel Sprouts, but applies to real abuse, like beatings, rapes, verbal assaults, etc. Not even good parents are always great, but if they try give them the respect they deserve, but if they are unworthy of respect, never give it! Thanks for this post, Ashley!

yes people need to earn respect if they want to receive it so the same holds true of authority figures, they must be a respectable person first.

In the Philippines, children being beaten by their parents are common and children think that it’s alright because it’s been going on ever since. What they do not know is that they can complain to the authorities about this especially of they have evidences such as bruising and marks wherein abusive parents can get sentenced to prison for 6 months to 6 years.

yeah, why respect someone who don’t respect you. To earn respect one must know how to respect.

It’s great that you raise this issue, I know of a parent who always beat her 4year old son and the child get bruises. Sometimes the child complains to me saying that it really hurts and that his mother hit him strongly. I tried to advise the mother not to do that but she just got mad at me. Oh, If I can’t get hold of myself I will beat her like she does to her child so she can feel it too. That’s so so so bad!!! Parents like them must never ever had a child if they can’t give them the respect and love that the child deserves of.

You are right, not man-made law but law of nature which supercede other laws.
