ReplyDeleteI get lectured a lot because my parents always want to make everything I experience into a lesson. I don't like getting lectured though because often when people lecture me they're talking down to me like i'm dumb or less than them. One time when I lost my phone on the train my parents were really mad and turned it into a big lecture, but i understood where they were coming from and I ended up getting my phone back. Depending on what the lecture is about I often ignore it but sometimes the advice in the lesson is worth listening to.
ReplyDeleteSame, I did not add this to mine, but they always want to include a lesson to teach me the consequences of my action. Great blog!
DeleteI don't like getting lectured either. I agree with the points you've made.
DeleteI agree that they make us feel as if were on a lower level than them, great blog!
DeleteNot really, I don't think I have ever been lectured, although I have been told stuff not to do. Whenever I get in trouble, my parents do not take the time to lecture me, but they do explain to me quickly why I'm in trouble. Like I said before, my parents are people who ‘lecture’ me, as I get in trouble from them more than anyone else. The ‘lectures’ they gave me are probably more why I am in trouble and what I should do next time to prevent it. Their lectures did not really have an effect on me because I always forgot what they said and I still did it again. I did not necessarily ignore it but rather simply forget.
ReplyDeleteSame except its my grandma giving me the lecture of how I should always help with the groceries and how back in her day my mom used to always help.
DeleteHmm, personally I cant relate because my parents lecture me a lot
DeleteI wish my parents didn't lecture me
DeleteI don't get lectured a lot but when my parents do I find it annoying. Most of the time their lectures aren't really teaching me anything, it's mostly complaining about how I forgot to do chores. I try to be respectful and change my behaviour to make them happy but sometimes I get too tired to do anything. I think it's important to listen and respect the person who's lecturing you's opinion but sometimes it gets annoying listening to them talk down on you. Most the time I try and learn from the lecture but if I really feel like it's pointless then i'll just ignore it and move on.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, most of the time they're lectures aren't teaching me anything
DeleteI think your right about them talking down on you. It especially gets annoying when you know that they have done the same things that you have done but that they don't point it out.
DeleteI don't get lectured often but when I do, it mostly comes from my parents. They just lecture me about how school is important and how I have to get good grades to succeed in life which I disagree on. Most of the time, they're lectures aren't really helping and they don't have an effect on me. I try to understand it from their perspective and I'll try my hardest but in the end, my parents and I have different ways of looking at things. I am also grateful that they can lecture me on somethings to either tell me an important life lesson but other times, it just gets annoying.
ReplyDeleteI really agree with your blog because my parents are also like that, "Get good grades or else you'll be working in McDonalds", McDonalds isn't even that bad!!
DeleteI personally get lectured too much, and for the exact same things. My parents lecture me the most, for example when I don't do the dishes, or burn stuff in the kitchen, or even pick on my brother the consequence is a 1 hour long lecture. It gets really annoying after a while but I understand where they get it from because I hate to admit it but I'm not the easiest kid to raise because stuff just doesn't stay in my mind. Yes my mom says something, 2 minutes later its gone. Honestly my parents say these lectures are for my betterment but I don't really see how because they know I probably won't listen/understand a lecture, they should honestly try and find another way to punish me, but it is what it is.
ReplyDeletei agree their hearts in the right place but lectures never work, great blog!
DeleteI have been lectured before by a my science teacher about how alcohol mat kill brain cells. It really effected me because I knew that its a tradition in my religion to drink wine each Friday and during holidays, I was very scared. I didn't simply ignore I took it into account and now I am going to try and drink less wine during Friday and less whiskey on holidays.
ReplyDeletei ment may
DeleteWait, you drink wine and whiskey??
DeleteGreat blog alon, drinking is fine just enjoy it!
DeleteI got lectured by my parents a lot. It was mostly about me talking back to them. Although, I wouldn't really call it a lecture, more of a fight, but it's the closest thing that I find to be the most similar. I don't really know how to feel. I guess, in that moment, I probably very angry at the situation and what the fight or lecture is about, but mostly I'm just conflicted. I mean sometimes the things that my parents say are said in a way that it doesn't apply them. Which I find infuriating. But, I know that they do this to teach me a lesson or help me overcome something.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I used to talk back to my parents a lot and always got lectures! Great blog.
DeleteFor this comment I will chose my parents as an example, my parents obviously have experienced more than me and I understand why they try lecture me as often as possible. They most likely did a mistake similar to something you want to or have done, and want to not have you repeat what they did. Or they could have known someone who's life was affected negatively by a similar life choice like drugs, alcohol such as caffeine. Now, well I get what there saying there delivery is poor at best, normally when I'm saying something wrong, or inappropriate I'm in a rattled mood and a long lecture is the last thing I want to here in the moment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what your saying
DeleteI get lectured a lot. Mostly by my parents, but every now and then someone else does it like a coach or teacher. Normally it's when I do something wrong or forget to do something like the laundry or dishes, but then it turns into a huge thing about my responsibilities and how this is everyones house. At fist I would listen intently and feel bad, but by now i've heard it all so I go yes yes yes and dont really listen. I mostly prefer a straight answer.
ReplyDeleteMy father is the only one to do any of the lecturing in my house. Good blog.
DeleteI have definitely been lectured, and the first person that comes to mind when I think of lectures would be my dad. My dad is of course my parent, but he was also my soccer coach for most of my life. Trust me, having your dad as your soccer coach is not very fun especially during the long car ride lectures.
ReplyDeleteOne day we were driving to my game and he gave me the longest lecture about being aggressive. It usually takes around 10-20 minutes to get to my game but this car ride felt like forever. I was honestly just nodding my head the whole time because he wouldn’t even let me talk. I definitely ignored it and played how I usually played but sometimes these days I look back to that moment and remember to be aggressive when I play sports!
cars ride feel like forever when my parents yell at me!
Deletethe car ride is the worst when my dad is talking to me about basketball. I use the stuff he says as motivation though. good blog
DeleteI would definitely say that out of both my parents the one that lectures me the most would be my mom. Most the of the she just yells or lectures me about not playing hard enough in a game or not getting good enough grades in school. I do think after I get lectured about something it does make me work so much harder and motivates me more. The reason why she does it is because she knows I can do better so thats her way to try and motivate me and it works.
ReplyDeleteI agree it also motivates me to do better. Great blog!
DeleteI have never really been lectured. Instead, my parents try to explain to me what I did wrong and tell me what I could have done better. An example could be when I do not get a good grade on a test. My parents will explain to me that getting good grades is important to succeed and tell me to try to do better the next time. When my parents lecture me it usually does affect me. I value their advice because they usually know what they are talking about because they have had more life experience than me.
ReplyDeleteI agree, its better to explain then to have a full on lecture. nice blog!
DeleteNormally I'm being lectured by my parents but unlike others I generally understand why I'm being lectured. As far as I could remember my parents have explained why they're lecturing me and after a little bit of calming down I understand what happened. The most recent lecture was about dropping out of school. My dad's point of view is that if either me or my brother choose to drop out of school that's when we move out of the house. I completely agree with his point and again I understand what he's saying.
ReplyDeleteVery great advice from your dad, he has a point.
DeleteI always got lectured by my parents and grandparents for as long as I can remember about school, work, and life in general. The reason I think parents give lectures is to pass on their life experience to us so that we don't make the same mistake as them or someone they know. That's great, except it is very easy for a child to interpret it as a way of saying that they are dumb, which upsets them and is why a lot of kids don't pay attention to when their parents lecture them. Now, I say this because I used to be like this until I really tried hard to understand what they were saying because they spent so much time talking about it I thought it must be important. Once I understood, I realized that they are afraid that we are going to go down the wrong path and they want us to have the best life as possible, so they lecture us. I personally believe that lecturing helps to a certain extent. You can't dictate your child's life forever, you have to let them make mistakes young so that they learn how to deal with them. This will make the child more independent and less reliant on others which is one of the most important life skills. I feel like I'm the one lecturing now so I'm just going to say that I got lectured a lot by almost every single person in my family about life, I ignored them at first but as I got older I started understanding more and now I have enough information to create my own opinion of life.
ReplyDeleteI ignored my parents' lectures when I was younger too now I know the importance, great point!
DeleteI've been lectured many times in my life by many different people. Mostly I get lectured by my parents or my coaches or even sometimes my teachers. When my parents lecture me it's usually about the normal things like cleaning up your room or washing the dishes or getting home and doing my homework etc... I usually try to listen to my parents lectures but a lot of the time I completely forget about anything they said or it just goes on for so long that I decide to stop listening.

DeleteI am constantly getting lectured by my parents. Sometimes the lectures will be worth while listening to and sometimes I just tune them out. I am quite and independent person and don't like being told what to do so it frustrates me when people try and lecture me. A lot of the time it has something to do with homework, school or picking up after myself, but only the big important things really stick in my head, a lot of it just goes in one ear and out the other.
ReplyDeleteI agree, sometimes the lectures will be worth listening. Great blog!
DeleteI get lectured a lot by my parents, especially my mom. Usually, it's when I get into trouble or don't help with the dishes and sometimes about life experience. I understand that they want me to do better and don't make the same mistakes as they did, but sometimes I feel like they put me down. I don't really learn anything from their lectures most of the time because they just kept repeating what you did wrong, and I forget them pretty fast. Sometimes the lectures are worth listening to when they tell you about their own experiences and how to deal with that mistake.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I completly agree.
DeleteI get lectured sometimes when I did something that I wasn't supposed to and my parents took the time to explain to me why it was wrong and why I shouldn't do it again. I rarely get lectured because I almost never do anything bad that is worth being lectured for. I mostly get lectured for not doing chores around the house so that I remember to do them. All lectures have an effect on me because I know that my parents thought it was worth lecturing me about it and took the time to lecture me, so I take it seriously and never ignore it.
ReplyDeleteMy mom often lectures me on bad english grades or when i don't listen to her. The lectures on english marks make me break down because half the time she acts as though i should have been better but i think i failed myself and she won't let the conversation end. The lectures when I don't listen, I completely tune out or turn the tables on her. Most of her lectures I forget almost immediately.
ReplyDeleteMy parents always lecture me. I got a recent lecture with my debit card going in the negatives somehow. For some reason, I think I paid twice for the item and my mom got really mad at me. From now on, I am going to double check what I am buying so that I don’t buy the same thing twice. I got scolded and felt bad so I took the advice to heart and the advice will probably play a role in the future when I have my own credit card.
ReplyDeleteMan that must have sucked when you saw your debit card going into the negative. My parents also always tell me to double check everything you buy and to make sure there are no mistake.
DeleteI have been lectured before by my parents. I get lectured for multiple things in my house such as not putting my plate away after I eat or not cleaning my room. I also get lectured before and after a basketball game, my dad is always like do this or try to do this more but I listen too him because he's been playing most of his life and i’ve only been playing for 4 years. My dad lectures me because he knows I hate being criticized. When he criticizes me in my mind I’m like “ ok he thinks I can’t do this properly, I’ll show him I’m better than he thought”. I take it personally and use it as motivation. This happens in basketball and school the most. Someone saying I could do better or I should be doing better is my biggest motivator, I like being lectured.
ReplyDeleteMy parents lecture me a lot too, though I don't find it helpful like you.
DeleteMy father lectures me a lot, he often lectures me about how it's bad to do drugs and that people who do it will die. I find this very annoying because he tells me this at least once a week, and he also lectures me a lot about never driving after drinking or getting in the car with someone who has. I find this annoying because that is pretty basic knowledge and I find it frustrating that he thinks I don't already know this.
ReplyDeletemy father does the same thing too, it's so annoying
DeleteI remember getting many lectures by my coach in hockey. Throughout the year, you are bound to hit a rough patch whether it is in a sport or in school or at your work. Two years ago, I had a big rough patch throughout mid December to January in hockey. I wouldn't score many goals, my passes were sloppy and my overall game play was really horrible. I would constantly let myself down after games and was just really mad at myself for these games. My coach saw my change in behaviour on and off the ice so he gave me a lecture. He was telling me about a rough patch that he got in his time of playing hockey and how he got over it. He told me to never give up and try your best even if some games your best isn't the best on the team. That end of year, I had the best plus minus ratio in my whole entire 10 years I had been playing. I would get at least a point a game and I would help with passes and score some goals. I am really grateful for the advice he gave and for that lecture because it really changed me as a hockey player.
ReplyDeleteI've been lectured a handful of times, but it happens mostly with my mother. My mom always believes I can do better, and doesn't always understand my point of view. Sometimes when we get into an argument and she's right I still talk back because I hate being wrong. There's my first mistake because I also hate lectures. After talking back, I find myself in a deja-vu, another lecture which I hear the same things but don't retain anything. Instead of using what i thought i learnt from those lectures(which i always forget ) i just don't talk back so that I don't get myself into the lectures.
ReplyDeleteI've been lectured a bunch of times but it's usually my parents. Most of the time it's about my grades, the way I behave or my phone. most of the time they just start yelling at me and then i get mad so I yell back then they get even madder and then they take my phone. It doesn't have an effect on me at all since i'm so used to it, although it does get annoying sometimes since i hear it so often and I don't really like when they take my phone.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it can be frustrating when parents get mad at us.
DeleteYes, I have been lectured many times by my parents. As long as I can remember, my mom gave me the same lecture, to be polite, say please and thank you and be nice. I was shy when I was younger, so I found it hard to speak to new people, but I would always make sure to be polite. That lecture in particular, I will always remember, and I’m sure I’ll give the same lecture to my children. My dad also lectures me for all sorts of different reasons as well, most are related to hockey. I am a goalie so he wants me to yell and communicate with my teammates, so it’s ironic one parent wants me to be polite, the other wants me to yell at people.
ReplyDeleteYes, i have been lectured before. Most of the time it is done by my parents. Usually the lecture is about my grades or how much time i spend on my phone. It does not usually have any effect on me though because i do not really care. Also i have heard it so many times before, so i do not really pay attention when they talk to me about my phone or grades.
ReplyDeleteI get lectured at least once a month. Whether it was something that I did wrong, or just something that my father has found interesting and feels he needs to share, my father does indeed like to lecture all of my family. And again, sometimes it is something really interesting, or it can be something really boring, that puts me to sleep. But it is nice, because his lectures are some of the only times he rally opens up about his personality.
ReplyDeleteMy dad lectures a lot too i relate to this strongly aswell
Deletei get lectured a lot, I do a lot of bad things, mostly by accident, and my parents always spend a long time talking about it. Lectures are important for leasrning and although theyre boring theyre essential
