parents? Isn't it normal? I'm of a non western culture and westerners always think it's disrespectful if a child argues with their parnets. Why is that? Isn't it normal, sicne the relationship is so close? How can u not argue? Parnets & kids have that special bond and you can't always be happy all the time. Moreover, arguments can draw ppl closer together too at times. Plus, many parnets disrepsect their kids here too, so if a parent curses his/her kid out, how's it bad if she/he does the same in retaliation? One can take only so much. Are Westerners really this stupid? Or are they just control freaks?
