Any of you have these? These sick, baby boomed, corporate, conservative assholes who run society? I do. Im so pissed right now xD
Im at a really bad point in my life, I can tell xD (High school is starting, my friends are ******** annoying, My girlfriend on 1 year is driving me insane, and Im failing 4 of my classes. My dad decided I can't have people over for 2 weeks because I got detention for a tardy, and 1 missing assignment.. Not a big deal really.
Then he decides if I have one more missing assignment, or one more detention, hes taking on phone out, UNTIL I move out. So yeah.. Anyone else have parents like mine?

Nope my parent's weren't that nice. My dad would just smack me around for a bit if I got detention or something alone those lines.
Just study more, do the homework, and go to class on time and you'll be fine.
Both my parent's are baby boomers, but my mom is the rare kind. Understainding, rolls great joints, and christian! dramallama

Yeah, my dad is the worst out of the two. My mom just gets upset if I ******** up, it makes me feel bad, yeah, but she doesnt scream and yell like my dad. My dad has like.. fibro-mialgae or some funky spelled disease. He's got sleep apnea, and takes lots of tranquilizers. He used to smack me around, And occasionally he'll just hit me at the side of my head. He doesnt to it too hard though, I've got it relatively easy compared to alot of people. I love my blind mom though xD She's much cooler. Yeah. smile
My brothers is the s**t! xD He's really into reading, and religion, which is cool, cause I kinda got my interest in religion from him. My brothers wife is pretty cool, she kinda got my to start learning guitar xD My neices are pretty cool too xD Veda and Annica. Hehe, my brother lives a really alternative lifestyle. Its cool. smile
But yeah, my brother kinda helps me out advice wise when it comes to my parents. My brother AND his wife encourage me to try drugs. But my parents are really "As soon as you think about picking up a jont, you're going to rehab" xD Yeah.. I really wish my parents were liberal.

I'm from Texas and live in a Baptist town. So, to put it simply, yes my parents are very conservative. My family is like your stereotypical 50s family. But I don't think they are assholes for the rules they set, or punishing me when I do bad in school. That teaches you to be responsible. You think when you're out in the real world and you slack off your boss is going to hold your hand and encourage you? Nope. When your parents punish you it teaches you how to pick up the slack, and if something does happen at work you can better handle a situation like that. I felt the same way you do about your parents, but I really appreciate what they've taught me. Life isn't ever going to be perfect, but I think what your parents are doing will help teach you to better handle it.
And about the drugs, well I can see where your parents are coming from. Sure, a joint is nowhere near as bad as coke or drinking alcohol, but you still get high (and for some people they lose control). Not to mention it could also be a distraction from the school work that you are already failing. And for a lot of people, weed leads them into other (highly addictive and harmful) drugs. I have nothing against people who smoke, it's just sometimes you have to be able to handle that AND everything else you need to keep up in life. If things are already hectic, how can you be responsible?

Haha, I think you've got me off on the wrong foot. I mean like, parents trying to teach you to be conservative. Like, have your parents ever punished you for NOT being against gay marriage? (for example)

Peace Love And Skate Haha, I think you've got me off on the wrong foot. I mean like, parents trying to teach you to be conservative. Like, have your parents ever punished you for NOT being against gay marriage? (for example) They haven't punished me, but they have gotten a bit miffed. And especially so when I start debating. But to each his own. Your parents doing that isn't right, but it's what you've got to live with. Although knowing what topics to discuss and not to discuss with certain people I have learned because it's happend with my parents! I just leave politics (with the exception of anything enviromental) out of conversation.

But overall I kinda learn to control what to say and what not to say.

But overall I kinda learn to control what to say and what not to say. Yeah, I know how that is. I used to have extreme anger problems (until I started doing the hippy thing), and I eventually realized that it only got me into more trouble! My dad might be a therapist, but he certainly didn't handle it like a therapist should! sweatdrop But like you, I'm looking forward to moving out (next year). My parents are extremely overprotective. My mom seems to think that everywhere I go there will be a rapist lurking around the corner. While my brother can go out and do whatever he wants, I don't get the same treatment because I'm a girl. neutral

I'm sorry your dad treats you like that. Hopefully once your done with school there will be a place where you can go and be yourself and nobody can say a thing. Try and stay out of your dads way and be yourself.
If you feel like talking/ranting PM me for my AIM name. I love helping people if only hearing there rants.

My parents aren't super-conservative, but they aren't super-liberal either. I like the balance. I wouldn't want them all one way.

my parents are pretty conservative too. the classic upper-middleclass realestate junkies. i feel for alot of you with how difficult it can get at times. i deal with it, but it gets bad sometimes, like when we discuss money issues, or my future. they think i need a high pay job so that i can live in a nice big house, since wealth is all i care about in life. [<-sarcasm]
my idea on money: It is simply corruption in the form of dead trees, has no beauty, and therfor, no worth. [this doesnt sit very well with them.]
my job philosophy: I would be happy as a San Francisco street mime, or a homeless person. or both. whee
fortunately or unfortunately, my dad tries to buy my love, as he doesnt know how to act like a real father, and as a result, i dont respect him as a father, and feel no real need to obey him other than the fact that i live under his roof. im fifteen, so i cant move out, but my mom is moving out and i think id rather go with her.

My mom was a fruit-leather eating, yogurt-making, yoga-practicing, macrame-plant-holder-knotting hippie. Now she's Republican. I'm not sure what happened, but my eco-Marine otherlove's best guess is that all of her 'hippieness' left her body when I was born.
I know where you're coming from. smile The best advice I have is to get your proverbial s**t together, get through school, and get a scholarship or three if you plan to go to college. And then move the hell out! Good luck! heart

My suugestion is to listen to what your parents have to say carefully! Find out the true intention of your parents through deeply trying to understand where they're coming from.
Afterall, they're your parents, and assuming you've been around them a lot, they've probably had a bug infulence on who you've become yourself. Whether "good" influences or "bad" influences (those being whatever you've defined for yourself) I think parents can be a great way to disocver huge chucks of yourself. And what they believe doesn't necessarily have to be what you do, as you've seen, so why not hear what they've got to say?
Aaaaand, they've raised you. Whether "good" or "bad" they brought you into this world.
Not saying they can't suck, of course, but I always think it's best to see the bigger picture.
