There are a lot of things that you don't realize that your parents are going through when you're a kid.

And at 19, you think you rule the world, and you can control things. And a lot of times, you don't.

My parents are both teachers, so we had the summers off.

Parents have to understand: if your kid isn't you, don't blame the kid.
