workinonit, please understand people change all the time, even at my age. We are always but a work in progress always trying to improve and reach for higher madreigos. We are always changing and improving in some ways. No one stays the same, firstly that would be boring, secondly that is NOT what Hashem wants of us. WE are always learning new things, form shiurim, from one and other, from reading, from new mephorshim that are presenting. We are not stagnant people. We all change and we all keep evolving. So in a sense we all grow and we all change especially teenagers. Every day is a new experience and everyday you are supposed to grow and surprise your parents with something new about you.
Don’t worry, they are expecting new and different surprises every day. It is ok to surprise them. You are NOT the first teen to do that. Please surprise them, with “thank you’s” and “I love you’s” Surprise them by doing the dishes, surprise them with having new friends. Surprise them with leaving notes for them telling them you appreciate them, or just telling them about your day. Parents love these little surprises. OK? Maybe they will surprise you as well. Maybe you will find a $10 bill under your pillow. Wouldn’t that be a nice surprise?
