Hardheadedness is a quality you will find in almost every child. Among the worst is teenagers. This article is dedicated to my mom who is always right about everything she has ever given me advice on. Though admitting she is right does sting sometimes, I find that with each year that passes it gets a little bit easier. So with that being said, here are five things Mom is right about.

1.It will get better.

It always seems like your mom is obligated to be on your side, but in this case, she is correct. It will get better. Heartbreak is a hard pill to swallow and it's even harder when you hear your mom say those words. The only thing you can focus on is this devastating heartbreak, and you swear that it will never get better, or you will never love again, but you do. Just like Mom said.

2. That friend is toxic.

We've all been there. You meet a girl that you swear is your very best friend and you will never grow apart, and she will never do you wrong and she will be there for you forever. The sad truth is once again mom is right. Just like life has its season, so do people. People come and go in your life but ultimately Mom can sniff out a rotten apple way before you can.

3. It will all be over when you graduate.

High school. Full of drama and petty arguments. That one thing is the end of the world, its life altering, it's totally a big deal, Right?.... Wrong! Once you graduate high school you lose touch. For me it was immediate, for others the familiar faces fade away slowly. You guessed it: She was right again. There is no more gossip, he said she said, and pettiness. Now you are considered an adult and you are expected to act like one.

4. It really is 'just a phase'

From hipster, to punk rock, to gothic. You grew out of it. Even though you told your mom that "it's not a phase, it's who I am.", you did not mean it. Since she is your mom, she will buckle down until you are onto the next phase, and she will feed into your collection of fake glasses, or spiked jewelry, or dark makeup. She does this because she loves you, and she wants you to be happy.

5.Beauty is on the inside.

Growing up in a society of unrealistically portrayed versions of what we are supposed to look like is hard. It is especially hard when you are 'the chubby girl'. I always rolled my eyes so hard when my mom would tell me that beauty is found on the inside, and I still do to this day sometimes. But, ultimately she is right. Media and the portrayal of women in said media is a lot of pressure. It makes young girls think they aren't pretty enough, or tall enough, or skinny enough. Some of the most beautiful people I have met in my life looked nothing like a Calvin Klein model, but their heart and mind would amaze you. Though Mom is biased, she really means it when she says you're beautiful.

Overall Mom is right about SO many things in our lives. My mother always told me how she hated that her mom was always right, and though sometimes it's a hard pill to swallow, I have learned many valuable lessons from things that I swore my mom was wrong about. Though she never was, I would never admit it. The next time you see your mom hug her and tell her she's right. She knows these things because she has been there and experienced them first hand.

With that being said here's to many more generations of Moms that are always right!
