About This Quote

How many times have you heard that you shouldn't talk about your relationship problems to your parents? I personally think that this is a bad idea. The problem is that if the problem is being the result of negative behavior, especially sexual immorality, then your parents are likely to be very upset with you. But if you have approached them about the issue and they have not been willing to listen to you, then they are likely to be even more upset with you for bringing up this subject. You must understand that it isn't your fault that you are having problems at school, in relationships, or in any other area of your life.

However, your parents are the ones who are responsible for teaching you the things that will help you become successful in all of these areas. When they fail to do so, then they become part of the problem rather than part of the solution. Choose your parents wisely and do not bring up negative issues with them.
