Watching Dan In Real Life really reminded me of my own family.
We're all up in each other's business all the time, in a nice way. We also have
a lot of family activities, almost similar to Dan's. And if I really get deep into
relating, I'm genuinely the Dan of my family. I'm really awkward and weird
and it's a great time.
When Dan said, "Life is full of disappointments." I totally agreed with him.
No matter how precise our plans are, things can go wrong, and we may
be disappointed. I deal with disappointment by writing in my journal and
trying to find the bright side of the clearly dark situation.
In my opinion, a hottie isn't always someone who looks good. It's someone
who's kind, respectful, and very passionate. I imagine someone who values culture
and religion as much as I do.
I definitely do think that teenagers are hard on their parents. We often forget
how much our parents really do for us. Teenagers are typically just angsty
dorks who think the world revolves around them, and it takes them a while
to figure out that that's not how it is at all.
I think it's true that some people can't handle the truth. I prefer the ugly truth to
sugar coated lies, but my parents seem to disagree. When my grandpa died,
they didn't tell me. They played it cool around me. I found out from my sister. I
was pretty upset about that because that's the kind of news that I would
like to know.
I'd say that might be the hardest part about working with teenagers day in and day out, that they "think the world revolves around them." I think a lot of it is actually major self-consciousness, but it often comes off as self-importance, as if what they are saying/doing/reading/thinking is more important than what I am saying/doing/reading/thinking, that is often off-putting. There are adults that behave in this same way, however.
