Is it weird for a teenager to be close with their parents/family?
Posted on 30. Jul, 2010 by Eve in Parenting
I feel immature for my age because I always close to my parents about any problem or concern I have. I don’t really trust too many people about it. And I like to hear about their history as kids and such. Is that weird? It seems as if my cousins aren’t like that with their parent(s) and I feel like a kid when my dad would show concern if I’ve returned from someplace or if my mom and I would talk.

Thats absolutely not weird, thats actually really good! Most parents would dream of that. Its all in how the child was raised, obviously you were raised right!
Stay close!

NO you are definitely not weird. It is special that you have that kind of relationship with your parents and you should cherish this. In the long run you are going to be the one who is happily married and very secure in life. Just you wait and see.

I don’t think it’s weird. It’s not common, but it’s a good thing to be close to your parents because, believe it or not, they’re always going to be there for you and on your side, even if nobody else is. I wish I was closer to my parents.

This sounds like an okay relationship to me. Your parents care about you. I used to love to hear my parents talk about their lives as young people. I always talked to them.
Be glad you have such great parents and quit comparing yourself to others. Maybe your cousins’ parents don’t bother with them much. Everyone has a different parenting style.
Don’t worry about it. If your cousins tease you about it, don’t tell them anything personal about your relationship with your family. They are probably jealous anyway.

No, it’s not weird, IT’S MORE NATURAL that anything else!!!!!
What’s weird is to get advice and ask questions of like aged kids who are equally stupid and inexperienced and then think you know everything!!!

Its not weird. I didn’t go away from home for college. I am 20 years old and share alomost everything w/my parents. They were the ones who helped me break off w/my first bf who was an ass. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are immature for that.
