I want to be understood


We are now at an age that is very accurately called transitional. At school, we are told a lot about physical changes in our body, about changing social status. And in real life we ​​are confronted with a misunderstanding.

The biggest problem is the uncertainty of our status, because we are still children for some adults, while others turn to us and demand from us, as from adults. But we have grown from children’s panties for a long time, and much of adult clothes are still great for us.

It is very insulting when labels are hung up on you: “You are already so big, but behave like a small one,” “Calanche, and the mind is like a child.” Yes, we still have a lot to learn, but I would like to learn from good examples and with the help of friendly advice, not ridicule and urge. In the end, every person goes his own way and everyone has the right to make mistakes and correct them.

It seems to me that misunderstanding is born where there

is a usual inattention to each other, a reluctance to understand and to meet halfway. Of course, at this difficult age, we are not gifts, because we need not only to accept a new status, but also to get used to the changes inside ourselves. Too much new, too little familiar, habitual, giving protection. So we have to defend ourselves as best we can, as we can. Therefore, any contact that may expose us in an unfavorable light, is perceived as aggression. Therefore, we become suspicious of words: what is there, beyond the outer shell, what is the true meaning of what has been said? But that is why we appreciate most of all the present attention, the attempt to understand, the patience in communication with adults.

I was very lucky with my parents. Our relationship seems almost ideal, probably because both mom and dad are busy with their favorite and interesting job, they do not have time for what psychologists call a “hyperopeak.” The atmosphere of friendship and understanding reigns in our family, but sometimes it hurts me when I see my friends talking to their parents – people who seem to understand their children better than anyone else.

Yes, we will all the same grow up, become experienced, independent, serious – adults. But now more than ever, we need a kind word, a calm look, a friendly smile and understanding.
