True with most cases. To a certain point, parents are essential to a childs developement. The thing is, some parents have to lay offMy parents(for example)have always been overprotective. that drives me insaneMy mom and I always fight. Usually about little thing and usually ending up with me in tears.My parents always fight with each other.and last but not least they aren't even my birth parents.ok. yes, some people might not say they aren't my parents, but they are the only mom and dad I have ever known. anyway, that's my reason for hating my parentsthanks for listening(or letting me just type)
