There was a time when many people could be considered "pasaway" — stubborn, rebellious, and often at odds with their parents. Disregarding advice and challenging rules seemed like a way to assert independence, but over time, it became clear that such behavior was damaging not only relationships with family but also personal growth.

The turning point often comes when one begins to see how their actions affect their family. Despite defiance and rebellion, parents continue to show love and care, but the strain on the relationship becomes evident. Siblings and other family members also feel the tension in the household. This realization can be a wake-up call, signaling that change is necessary for the well-being of everyone involved.

Change often begins with taking a step back to reflect on the reasons behind rebellious behavior. Is it a desire for independence, or simply the result of immaturity? Asking these questions can help reveal that such actions don’t truly reflect the person one hopes to become. No one wants to take their family for granted.

The next step is making a conscious decision to change. It starts with listening more attentively and respecting the opinions of others. Rather than engaging in arguments, calm and thoughtful conversations help to understand different perspectives. Over time, family members are seen not just as authority figures, but as people who genuinely have one’s best interests at heart. This shift can transform relationships and lead to personal growth.

Becoming a better son also means becoming a better brother. By improving relationships with parents, one can set a positive example for siblings. Taking the time to be there for them, offering support when needed, and sharing moments of joy can make a significant impact.

The transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but it is worth the effort. Over time, the bond with family can grow stronger. Becoming a better son and brother isn’t just about changing actions; it’s about personal growth and learning the true value of respect, patience, and love.
