Be a Good Daughter

Being a daughter is difficult. Hormones, bullying, and peer pressure don't help either. If you are tired of your old ways and wish to become a better, morally upright daughter, this is the article for you.

Steps

  1. Make a list of things you might be doing that your parents like. Likewise, identify what you are doing well. You'll want to keep on doing those good things, or do them even better.
  2. Try to fix the problematic things. For example, if you don't show your parents enough love, make the effort every morning to give both of your parents a hug and tell them that you love them. Resolve any issues with your family and friends. Realize that you may be wrong and owe someone an apology.
  3. Spend time with your parents. Get close to them and be yourself around them. For example: Go to the mall and shop with them now and again, or ask your mom to go have a coffee with you at the nearest cafe. This bonding can strengthen your relationship.
  4. Clean your room. That way you'll have a clean space where you can let your thoughts run free, and be sure to help your parents when they need it the most whether it's doing the dishes or cleaning the attic, little things help.
  5. Take care of yourself. Take a shower or bath, shampoo and condition, and moisturize. Keeping yourself together not only makes you feel good about yourself but it allows your parents to see the better side of you.
  6. Wear neutral colors of makeup, most parents don't want their daughters to attract too much attention, so on most occasions its best to keep it simple. Don't overdo your accessories or makeup!
  7. Listen when your parents have something to say. If you don't listen to them, they will think you are disrespectful. Even if it's something you're dreading (taking out the trash, finishing your homework), it will help you to become a better person in the end. Remember that parents have the power of authority and money in the house, and you will be most likely to get what you want if you're a good daughter.
  8. Do nice things for others. Doing nice things gives you a warm feeling inside and makes you feel more optimistic.
  9. Do your best and work hard at school, get good grades, in sports, or other endeavors, to give them opportunities to be proud parents. However, it is important to remember that you have to be true to yourself and know when it's too much; don't wear yourself thin.
  10. Talk with your parents about things that concern you about your relationship - things that may be their fault as well as yours. Stay calm. The last thing you want is to have a fight. When both parties have decided what to solve, tell them you love them. Give them a hug and say goodbye. Then take a walk or something so your mom or dad will think about what he or she has just agreed on.
  11. Enjoy the simple things with your parents. Watch their favorite TV show together, eat dinner together, watch movies, and play board games. Don't let them feel like their little girl is pulling away.
  12. Stay calm and collected. Whether some girl pulled your hair in class or pushed you over or you have a little sibling who just won't give you space kindly brush them off - your parents will appreciate your calm behavior.
  13. Always tell the truth! It is good to tell the truth, even when you don't want to.
  14. Always respect and trust your parents. They are your well wishers.
