3. Are you butting heads with your parents? Are they nagging you all the time, never trusting you, never giving you a break, never listening to you, always checking up on you, and making you want to do the opposite of everything they say? Do you want to know how you can help yourself and get your parents off your back? Throw them a bone!
As annoying as they can be, parents are predictable and mostly want the same things:
1. Parents want you to do well in school
2. Parents want you to be safe
3. Parents want to keep some control over you
When you throw your parents a bone (that is, give them what they want), most likely they leave you alone. When you don’t, they are guaranteed to bug you, monitor your activities, and deny you.
Doing well in school is the most basic, straightforward bone you can throw to your parents, and it’s entirely on you. Don’t expect your parents to cut you any slack if you miss class, don’t complete work, perform below your potential, or get in trouble on campus. If you do any of these, you are inviting scrutiny and harassment from your parents, and they have every right to get on your case. If your parents are all over you about school, here are some bones you can throw them:
Attend all of your classes on time, everyday, no matter how boring, even if you are mildly ill. No parent can argue with perfect attendance and promptness.
Complete all work, and update your parents regularly on what you are doing. You have no idea about how pleased they will be when you communicate these details.
