As we grow older, into young adults, there is a change in the dynamic between us and our parents. We are always going to be their "little ones", I am sure of that. But what I am not sure on is that our views, beliefs and opinions will be aligned and that is perfectly fine.

If we think about a regular course of development for a child, there are multiple disagreements with your parents. From not wanting to eat your vegetables to wanting to stay out later than the curfew that was provided. But what happens when those disagreements are no longer in effect because you do not live at home? Your disagreements will turn into things about life choices, politics, boyfriend/girlfriends, and other life related things. You also get to a point in your life where you feel like you know it all, just like they do.

Disagreeing with your parents is a good thing.

If you were to continuously agree with your parents and have the same views/opinions that they do, you would be your parents. Humans are meant to be unique individuals. Parents are to serve the purpose of providing a moral compass for individuals to develop themselves. If the children never question what their parents believe in or if they never question the way their parents do certain things, nothing in this world would ever change. Think about it. Hatred is taught, right? No one is born hating or disliking people because of they way they look, what they believe in, who they love, or anything else along those lines. These things have to be taught. But, any lesson learned can always be a lesson that is unlearned.

We in a time where the world is full of conflicting opinions. Those opinions are bound to make their way home and create a form of conflict. I believe that it is important to have these types of conflicts with your parents. Being different than your parents is perfectly fine, if anything, it is simply a part of developing into an adult and an individual. The relationship between you and your parents might change as well, it can be for the better as well. Your parents might have more of a difficult time with it but they will adjust, eventually...
