"Numb" Linkin' Park

 Numb has some very important themes in it as well. Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of the relationship between kids and parents. Parents want the most for their kids, but sometimes the way they go about it can actually damage their kid's motivation. My parents pushed me so hard to get good grades in school starting from first grade that now I am a burnt-out college kid. I don't know why I am in college at this point because I have no passion or motivation because my parents pushed me so hard to get into college, and not to figure out what I want to do with my life. I work full time, I babysit my brother's kids because he is a single parent and I go also to school. However this semester, I kind of let myself neglect this class, and that is something I can only blame myself for. So the idea that parents push so hard, to where it affects their kid's life until they are much older, is very true. My grandmother always said that you spend your entire adulthood trying to get over your childhood, and I think that is so true.
