Mother grounds daughter after finding out she has been mocking a classmate with reading difficulties, daughter insists it 'wasn't a big deal' and refuses to abide by her punishment

When we were kids and watched The Little Mermaid, we all used to think that Ariel's father was so horrible to her because he wouldn't let her throw her life away to go live with a boy she just met out on the land. She was 16 and in love, and it was so romantic and lovely, and we couldn't understand why King Triton wouldn't support her wishes and back her up. Ugh, parents are the worst, aren't they?

Wrong. They are not the worst. They are actually extremely reasonable people, which we all can understand now because we're adults with fully developed brains and some common sense.

Ariel, seriously, you are 16 years old and you want to uproot your entire life for a boy you just met, and didn't even talk to? Absolutely not. King Triton has our full support for how he handled that entire situation.

Where we're going with this is, to stress that while kids think their parents understand nothing about them, growing up is realizing that parents know a lot and understand much better than kids think, so maybe they should actually listen to them.
