“Their way might be wrong, but their intentions are really pure!” So, yes no one was ever wrong. Our parents always want the best for us. Now, have you ever heard about social pressure and the wrong circles? Our parents too are a part of it, they are trapped within that toxic cycle that made them feel that they were always right about their choices.

Indian parents seem like a villain for every individual when they have reached their early teenage stage. It might feel like they are very wrong about their intentions, but in reality, every parent has that fear that their child might end up getting into the wrong circle.

That extreme protection of parents ends up hurting their children, which makes their children feel that their parents are against them. At times, parents does mistakes too! Sometimes, parents have this idea that they are always right about their decisions, but that ain’t true always.

Parents go wrong when they end up forcing their children to get into a particular stream; they believe their children would end up choosing the wrong profession for themselves. And in Indian families, it’s really common! No children are allowed to get into serious discussions. Why? Because children are too young to understand everything?

Well, every individual be it, parents or children, everyone does get indulges in some or other kind of toxic mindset but everything can be tackled with a calm mind and better communication.
