Some parents try to keep their kids in check and prioritizing the kids well being rather than trying to have a relationship with them. ]]> 2022-02-08 12:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035384781 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035483874 I think safety in numbers applies to people who live there life surrounded by loved ones. Safety of numbers is also importance to learn self appreciation and independence. ]]> 2022-02-08 13:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035483874 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035513633 The relationship between the parents and kids is very difficult. Your parents always want to keep you safe when the kid will want to go on adventures and be dangerous. ]]> 2022-02-08 13:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035513633 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035521520 Yes, I believe defiance is a important part of growing up. I believe this because if we didn’t do this, I don’t believe we would be able to find ourselves and who we are. ]]> 2022-02-08 14:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035521520 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035523046 Parents prioritize safety and order for their households and kids, while kids want to have fun and experience the world. This can create a rift between parents and kids that can damage their relationship without proper communication.]]> 2022-02-08 14:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035523046 10006852 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035525342 The relationship between a parent and kid can be tenuous because as you get older you as a person go through changes that parents just don't seem to understand and when they try to understand yet they tend to push you to answer their questions because they want to have an understanding to a point where they know what's going on.]]> 2022-02-08 14:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035525342 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035526270 I believe it is best to live your life by safety in numbers. If you spend your time with people you love and your endeavors are supported by your family, you will be happier and more successful than if you lived by safety of numbers.]]> 2022-02-08 14:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035526270 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035527645 The narrator and the mom live two  different types of lifes. Mom is more sheltered and only cares about the narrators grades and going to college and nothing else. The narrator rebels against her mom and questions her moms actions.]]> 2022-02-08 14:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035527645 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035529429 The relationships between parents and children can be tenuous because children and adults see things differently. Like in the story the narrator's mother wants her to take the SAT's seriously, While the narrator doesn't really want to study and even in the end she leaves with her friend Cat. Children want to get out and do what they want while adults want order and they're the ones that tell children to do what the Parents what rather than what the children want to do themselves.]]> 2022-02-08 14:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035529429 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035530537 I believe defiance is a necessary part of growing up, particularly with strict parents. Sheltered kids will not be as independent when they grow up, and defying their parents and experiencing the world when they're young can be very beneficial in increasing success in adult life.]]> 2022-02-08 14:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035530537 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035534316 Parents are often too strict towards their children and don't fully appreciate the fact that kids want to have fun while they can. Parents also need to understand that kids are naturally defiant and will choose adventure over the safe options in life. If parents and their children can't see eye to eye this often hurts their relationships with each other as shown in the story.]]> 2022-02-08 14:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035534316 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035535398 i think the relationships between adults and children can be tentious because they see things in different ways. in the story her mom was obssesed with her getting a good score because to her back in china it determined if youdid good or not where she didnt care because she didint see it that way]]> 2022-02-08 14:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035535398 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035975901 The passage suggests that relationships between parents and children can be tenuous by there not being communication between the two. Without communication the parent and child cannot see eye to eye. This makes their relationship unstable.]]> 2022-02-08 16:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035975901 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035977502 In America I would live by safety in numbers because the narrators mom loved by that in China and it got her friends killed. In the U.S it would be less likely to experience something like that if you are in big groups.

We all have our breaking points where we can't take it anymore. The older we get the more fragile the breaking point gets, until we come to an age where we realize that our parents were right and that defiance was just the nature of a growing teen.]]> 2022-02-08 16:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2035978658 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2037935765 I believe that the saying safety of numbers is best to live by. A reason for that is because when you're surrounded by people who support you and love you your quality of life will end up to be better. ]]> 2022-02-09 13:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2037935765 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2037955036 In the story and in real life the relationships between parents and children can be very hard. Most parents just want to protect their children, but kids see it as not fair. Most kids just want to be curious and have fun. ]]> 2022-02-09 14:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2037955036 https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2042417063 The relationship between parents and children can be tenuous because a lot of the time parents try to put their experiences onto their children. Parents do it so kids don't make the same mistakes as them and as a way to keep them safe, but kids see it as unfair or annoying. Sometimes kids just have to take their own path and experience life their own way to really grow. ]]> 2022-02-11 13:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kchristman222/pmcb4hntl6pmgsp6/wish/2042417063
