 Steps

    1
    Do you get mad when your parents tell you to do something you don't want to do?
   
    When asked to do something, do it. A huge part of maturity is being respectful. When your mom tells you to clean your room, don't argue! Just do it. Why? Because they are your parents and they know what's best for you. For example, you tell your younger sister that it isn't good for her to eat sugars and sweets all the time. You tell her that because you know it's true, because you're older. That's what your parents do. So next time your Dad tells you to do your homework, just do it, because you know they're telling you that because they love you.

 Warnings
