A recent incident made me think. How many times have adults told their children not to succumb to peer pressure, but they themselves fall prey to it? Excuses like "it's a special occasion" don't make the cut at all. So I can say that if I took drugs on my birthday it's "ok" cause it was my birthday huh? I think that is utter crap. I heard a woman on television saying, "Trust is easily broken but difficult to earn" and come on how true is that? Trust doesn't only go one way, not only child to parent, but also parent to child. A child looks up to his or her parent because they gave him life. When a child slips up and does something stupid, it is a parent's right to discipline him. But when a parent slips up, is it a child's right to point out their mistakes? Parents or adults for that matter are so afraid of losing face in front of their children that they do not wish to admit their mistakes or apologise. Whatever, I really think this sort of behaviour is completely stupid.
I think my English sucked in that paragraph up there.
