Alright, I'm gonna try to keep this short. Adults sometimes are stupid as heck. Some things that generally tick me off about them: -The "Because I said so" explanation -Not trusting their kids when the don't have ALL the facts. -Thinking they know everything or jumping to conclusions about something they know almost NOTHING about! (Ex: I told my mom that in MapleStory, you go around killing monsters. She instantly said: Maybe you shouldn't be playing that game then! ...I bet she thought they were really bloody or something... They're jumping mushrooms with smiley faces for the love of... GRRR!!!) -Being overprotective. (Not EVERYONE is an internet predator you know!!!) Sigh... that's all I've got... FOR NOW. Pitch in what ya feel. |

If I may add this on...the trust issue, tiny problems and the not fufilling expectations problem. Whenever I do something and mess up, my mom sometimes flips out...over the tiniest goddamn thing. When I was talking to her about what I should ask a teacher if I didn't want to go to an event for camp, and I mixed around what I was saying. Her response..."NO! GOD, WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO STUPID?!" When I sometimes lie to her-usually so I can solve a problem, or if I do it unintentionally, or if she just thinks I am-she flips and I lose her trust for a while, even if I was telling the truth. And when I messed up in school because of pressure partially put on by her, she exploded, saying I was going to be a failure in school because I was being an idiot. I WAS BEING AN IDIOT? SHE FORCED ME INTO THE HONORS CLASSES. I wanted to transfer out, but she considers every other class "the dummy classes." So, I fail, I go to the dummy classes. I transfer and I go there anyway. IT'S A GODDAMN NO WIN SITUATION, NO MATTER WHAT I DO I'D DISSAPOINT HER! That's what I have to offer. |

My mom and I have our moments where we can be friends and sit down for a while, Maybe over Lunch or somthing. But when my cousins over, he fakes injuries allt he time and blames it on me when i didnt even touch the guy, So, i get pummled into oblivion... Really, Im more in tune with my dad, he's still a teenager at heart, and he loves to play Video games with me when he comes home. But Like i said, my mom and I can be friends at times, You just gotta get real with them every now and then |

...my mom just proved her temper and distrust of me. When she was reminding us not to go on any other sites besides the internet school site during the school hours I said "Ok, I get it" because she had said it thousands of times today. She snapped back "No, I'll be hearing 'I just wanted to check this' like last year"-which I would like to add I did EARLY IN THE MORNING BEFORE HER DESIGNATED SCHOOL HOURS-"And the instant you do I'm putting you on a bus to public high school!" As if she thinks that I don't listen to her. She thinks that I'm obessed with other sites...she doesn't trust me. |

I admit I do have moments with my mom and dad as well, though they are divorced. But I usually get along really well with both of them. Sometimes my dad goes get me angry, cause I feel like he treats my sister a bit better at times. But I get along great with both of them usually all the time. Neither of them can play video gamesthough, but mom likes Wii Sports and Guitar Hero, so that is something. And she trusts me online. Usually. XDDD |

Have you guys ever tried to talk with them about these situations? And I don't mean the ones where you try and get slammed. No, I'm talking about the ones where you get slammed and then say, "Hey! Hey! Shut the fuck up and listen!" Yeah, those conversations. If you want them to really understand, you need to either manipulate your own situation so that you've got the upper hand, or yell back. Because, quite frankly, both you and your parents are going to be self-centered and think you know everything at times. I have. And if your parents don't love you, then you're screwed for this little tip, but if they do, the three magic words, "I hate you" can really get them to be quiet and listen. If you guys don't like the way your parents treat you, start doing something about it and stick with it. If they're stubborn, you need to be more stubborn. They threaten to take something away? Who cares?! They use your material possessions as tools to keep you at bay, and usually it works. My parents have threatened my computer and Wii thousands of times over, but never once has it happened because I can so easily say, "Fine. Taking that away isn't going to do anything to me." You can't give in to them. Now, if there's violence..well, I don't want to give any advice or get into that. XD Besides that, I agree with what Zoden has said! |

Personally, I can't say that I hate adults and parents in general... Just some of the stupid shit they do and say. >.< I guess that the thing that really gets me the most is how they assume that they/another adult is right rather than me, simply because they're older and supposedly more responsible/knowledgeable... Yeah. Dx For example: myself and my mom both take martial arts, and are pretty much on the same level (I'm usually ahead of her belt-wise by about a month, since I don't procrastinate to learn the katas. Other than that, though, yeah, same level). A lot of the people there, though mostly the sensei and his wife, are VERY quick to assume that when me and my mom have a debate (usually small, since I'd really rather not make a scene, though I don't think she particularly cares) she is ALWAYS right, and I'm ALWAYS wrong. That, and when she makes some sort of critical remark about me and I try to defend myself, everyone seems to take her side, since I'm just some stupid teenager who doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. A lot of times I really don't know what the hell to do, because I just feel trapped and outnumbered... I can't argue back, because then I'm being disrespectful. That, and she's got absolutely no problem bitching about the smallest things I do to them, which makes me feel terrible and, well, pretty fucking embarrassed. I could easily tell them bad things about her, but for two reasons I don't: I have more respect than that, because I know how terrible it makes people feel; and they wouldn't take the time to listen to me, anyway, because I'm just some stupid teenager (that, and my mom's talked me down so much that I doubt they would believe me, anyway, even if many of them didn't assume the worst of kids). I guess after all that, it sounds like I hate the adults there, but I really don't... I just can't stand some of the assumptions they make. Other than that, they're wonderful people, and I really love my dojo. Oh, and I totally know what you mean by never living up to their expectations... Whenever I feel like I'm living up to them, my expectations only get higher. It feels like I can never please anyone. |

Ah, Parents. Sounds like most of you are whipped by them. Quite frankly my parents and I have a wonderful realitionship with eachother. At first we didn't get along until I started to become a little more rebelous towards them. Of course, I'm obivously not today. Somtimes we get into fights but it isn't too big. Just a little nit-pick at eachother.. As for debates, We do it for fun, True, Mom tends to not let me talk sometimes, But if that happens, I merely raise my voice until I get my point across... Fair enough isn't it? Plus, They totally trust me online 110%. They know i'm responiable enough to watch my back since I know more about the internet then they do.. So I have no worries talkin to folks online. Everyone here is afraid of there parents. You shouldn't be afraid of em. Instead challange them head on when they demand and demand. Most people think if you do excalty what they say, You'll listen to em anyways. Have your parents treat you like a "friend." Not a "Child" Ryan's advice is pretty much what I advise. Show your parents your not depended on them and show them backbone when you think there unfair. Other then that, Yeah some adults are rather stupid sometimes, But I guess that adulthood. "Shrugs" |

Just to make things short, I live with my mom, so I won't say anything about my dad till I know you all better. But I don't see why you have to, basically, hate adults. I have a nice relationship with my mom, even if we have wanted to kill each other before. But anyway, I'm just gonna agree with Near and Ryan. |

Hey! I'm an adult! Don't knock on us oldies! XD heh, jk. But really, I think the big thing ya'll have to remember is, they're people to. To all of you, it's their first time raising children. They won't get another chance. People are people, no matter who they are. ^^ To me an my parents, we party all the time! Ha ha, they're my best friends. ^^ I love em to death! And they trust me with everything! Know why? Cuz I, myself, don't do stupid things. That's really the thing. Don't lie, don't cheat. Earn your parent's trust, and they let you do anything. ^^ And another thing, tell your parents you love them. Just say it. Whenever you can. It really does help. |
