I'm having my struggle with my parents at the moment.

They are trying to do what's best for me.

I am trying to stop them.

They're "right" in that they have only their kids' best interest in mind. They want me to grow up "normal," meet someone and marry her, have kids, and raise them like they've risen me. As they see it, any straying from this course should be 'corrected'.

I myself simply don't want that life - at least, right now. I don't want kids. I don't want to be a productive member of society. I am doing what's "right" so that I won't have to become part of society that I admire less with each passing day. They are doing what's "right" so that I will have no choice but to become a member of this society.

Teenagers and parents have different goals. Neither of their goals are more valid than each others.' They simply have different goals in life. Teenagers want to find out if life is worth it, and parents are people who already have decided that it is, and have already forgotten what a tough decision that was.
