My parents suck...

So I got like a 3 hour detention at school for skipping my other detentions, and my parents throw a huge fit and take my truck keys away. I don't see why they are punishing me since im already getting a freaking 3 hour detention on a damn SATURDAY! :banghead: My parents are such bitches...this is one of about 1000 things that i do that arent really that big of a deal, but they turn it into one. I didnt even do anything seriously wrong, just forgot some detentions that i got for not doing my homework...what kind of bullshit is that?! you would think the damn teacher wouldnt care because im already hurting my grade....whatever though.

Nobody has to reply to this, im just getting this out...it makes me feel better when i can just let other ppl know about it. :grinno:

Well, it should help you learn your lesson: Do your homework.

Would that be the truck they gave you? Cry me a river.

:rolleyes:

Thats why I dropped out of school...

...but got my deploma another way. :D

You'll get no sympathy from most of us as most of us got ourselves in to trouble in school and with parents as well. However, most of us dont go complain that our parents are bitches because of our own mess-ups. As OZ said, if thats the truck they gave to you then its their right to take it back, boo-hoo.

Yeah, my mom is like that, but i do very well in school, number 3 in grade, she just wont let me do hardly anything. New Years night, she wanted me to be home by 12 from a friends house. Finally got her to set it back to 12:30, but she makes so many threats that she'll take my truck away if i screw up, yeah she gave it to me, so i follow what she says and am slowly earning her trust. Both of my older brothers totalled a car each while in high school, so she started off not trusting me, for no reason at all. Oh well, the trust will come soon enough.....she will eventually get over her unsupported suspicians that i drink. She might even think i do drugs.......for no reason at all......other than the fact that shes paranoid......i think paranoia is hereditary.....im a kinda paranoid person myself.......

Oh, uhh just follow their rules and you will have nothing to worry about. If it was me I would not have my truck keys, be thankful.

I tell ya, I really do get sick of when kids bash their parents. They do so much more than you will ever know, and then you get pissy because they make a decision that you don't like, even when they have the authority to make such a decision. My parents have worked damn hard to be where they are and I've got more respect for them than I do anyone I know. I'm glad they treated me the way the did, because I appreciate everything I have and appreciate everything that they do for me, because I know that they didn't necessarily have to.

I used to be the same way you are. I would get pissed because my parents would ground me for things that I thought were so tiny. A bad grade here and there, or being late and not calling. I finally figured out that I had to be responsible for things on my own and that if I wasn't going to take care of it, my parents were going to help me out in that department.

So I got like a 3 hour detention at school for skipping my other detentions, and my parents throw a huge fit and take my truck keys away. I don't see why they are punishing me since im already getting a freaking 3 hour detention on a damn SATURDAY! So...did you have a reason for skipping your other detentions, or did you just not want to own up to your own personal responsibility like a man? My guess is that if you aren't bothered by the punishment that the school gave you, then your parents felt the need to show you an inconvenience instead. Take the hint and take responsibility for yourself.

Teachers DO care, because the poor grade you get reflects poorly on them. Teachers are reviewed in their positions and the poor grades of their students are taken into account. If all the students in your class had the same poor attitude you have, your teacher would most likely not have a job next year.

Homework is a pain in the ass. I know this. I spent 14 hours on a single project last semester. 14 consecutive hours. I didn't want to do it, but you know what? Sometimes there are things that need to get done, even if you don't want to do them.

You're right, people don't have to reply to this. However, when you put it in a forum such as this, you're more than likely to get comments. A synopsis of my thoughts?

Grow up and take responsibility for your own actions. Try to think of how your parents see things. How would you treat your child if he or she was doing poorly and didn't care? If he or she didn't do what was required of him or her because of "not feeling like it"?

I apologize if I seem like an asshole, but so often I see this kind of thing and I think "how hard is it to just be a man and do it"? Apparently it's harder than I thought.

No sir, YOU suck.

i wish that was the least of my worries, try getting abandoned by your mother on christmas for no reason at all

Well said Swigz...

How old are you two complaining about your parents taking "your" truck away. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions. You brought the troubles upon yourself. You made a choice now suffer the consequences. Also don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Grow up would you. Also keep in mind what goes around comes around. Respect your parents they will be the only ones that can help you if something goes seriously wrong.

:crying: "Oh mommy I reeally reeeally want ma twuck back, pweeeezzz, ill be goo i promissse.." :crying:














haha

seriously though get over it, shit happens because we make it happen.


:sunglasse

a_hol06 - I totalled their car. Twice. And my own. And I do all the shit you mention. And these days, they trust me. It's taken a while.

Swigz - :werd:

My parents are such bitches...
nah man, you need to stop being a little bitch and think of how lucky you are. Don't take this the hard way. Try this: just shut the fuck up for the next like 3 years. try to learn. and get good grades and then try to go to school. then in three years. open your mouth and start talking again. you'll thank me. :)

you know I just sent my dad an e-mail the other day that wen't a little something like this:

Dad,
remember when I was a kid and I used to fuck up and you'd beat my ass and I hated you? and you said I'd thank you for it someday. Well I'm 20 now and... you were right. Thanks for beating my ass dad. I needed it.
-Love your Son.


And I'm only 20. You'll see in a few years. You know what would be even worse though.... is if they just didn't give a shit. you should be happy they are mad. because they care about you.

another thing I have learned is that if you are in trouble and you owe shit like detentions or whatever... just stop running from it. it's going to get worse. pay up... get it overwith and try to keep your head clean. you'll be a lot less stressed out. and do your fucking homework. just do it right when you get home from school that way it's done and you can really relax the rest of the night.

to sum it up. you are old enough to realize you are being a dipshit. so just knock it off jackass.

:1: to what pretty much everyone in here said. You're parents are trying to teach you responsibility, they're not trying to be dicks. It's all on you.

Amazingly enough - your parents were once your age and did the same kind of things. Perhaps you should pay attention to what they have to say as opposed to being dismissive with them or taking them for granted.

Good parents punish their kids. Especially when they fucked up as much as it seems you have. How about QUIT getting detention? It's not a hard thing to do. :rolleyes:

I tell ya, I really do get sick of when kids bash their parents. They do so much more than you will ever know, and then you get pissy because they make a decision that you don't like, even when they have the authority to make such a decision.

Werd up. It's too bad that when you grow up you realize exactly how much they did for you and how pivotal they were to your development. Obviously it's hard not to be disgruntled when you get punished, but it's the only way people learn, especially kids. It's called character development. I know I'm not the only one that just wanted my parents to not give a shit when i was younger, but looking back now, it's readily obvious that I would be so fucked up now. Not that I'm not fucked up, actually 'bout 3/4 the way as fucked up as I could possibly get, but for entirely different reasons and since after I've left their house. Now I'm glad they gave a shit and did things like that. They never could take my car though, I've bought every car I've ever owned, with my own hard earned money. Not that they didnt' offer for my first car.

Would that be the truck they gave you? Cry me a river.

:rolleyes:

LOL EXACTLY!

You're parents are nice to you... trust me

Mine would of done that plus kicked my ass to put the icing on the cake


I NEVER went to any detentions in high school.. and i got like 200 a year atleast

And all this because of 3 measly hours on a Saturday. What did you do to get detention in the first place? No homework, which would take you, what, an hour a couple times a week?

So now, you were unhappy about spending 5 hours of your time. In return, you lost your freedom, your vehicle, and it's going to cost you more time than you would have spent in the first place.

Use that gray thing in your head to figure stuff out a little before you jump into it.

A big :thumbsup: about what your parents are doing for you. You need to realize they're doing it FOR you and not TO you. I doubt they've done anything TO you. There is a difference, and you should learn what that difference is.

How many insults can you throw at this poor kid? No one likes teenagers anyway. I didn't even like teenagers when I was one.

Not one insult from me, just some facts.
Teenage years are difficult, both for teens and those around them. Some hard lessons need to be learned and that is how we all grow.

They never could take my car though, I've bought every car I've ever owned, with my own hard earned money. Not that they didnt' offer for my first car.

I agree with everything you said, except for this quote. Some kids arn't allowed to work until they finish University. I'm one of them. They say that work will distract me from concentrating hard in school and I'm locked up in my room all day long. The only time I've actually gone out was for Christmas shopping this year. I have to be back at home by 3:00 PM everyday, unless I tell them in advance that I have extra curricular activities. I'm not allowed to go out to the cinemas with my friends or anything, all they say is to work. I can tell you this isn't fun, and if I didn't buy my own laptop with internet, I might have committed suicide a while back. I'm still angry at them, and I'm always the odd one out. The thing is that I used to go to an international school so they won't give me any pocket money because all the kids were rich in school. I had to bring in a packed lunch (which I still do) and be the odd one out. I'm now in a public school, but I still don't get alot of pocket money...only $30 per month. So, if I wanted to get an iPod, it will take me over a year to save up. My parents won't contribute for buying me a car, and they will only let me drive when I finish some well known university. I know that my parents don't have alot of money to give me, and I am mad at them.

However, I know that they work their butts off to afford tuition for me so I will have a better future. If I ever got a detention in school, my parents would beat the crap out of me with a metal clothes hanger. I got a phone call home a few years back when I said "FUCK YOU!" to a person I hate, and my parents nearly broke my arm. I didn't go to school that week, because I had all the bruises over me and I couldn't even lift my arm without excrutiating pain. One thing was accomplished though: I learned not to use profanity all that often. I still do it every now and then, (which I shouldn't) but I don't say it every other sentence. I know that parents are worried about you...sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad...but more than often its good. My parents are worried about me all day long, 24/7/52. They beat the crap out of me if I don't get anything over 90% for school. I have been fed up with it and been into a huge fuss about it, but in the end, they are still logical. They have experience because they have gone through this.

It took me more than half a year to pursuade them to let my take my written test for driving (G1) and I just got it this Christmas Eve. Me and my parents have been arguing all day long, and finally when the holidays come they let me out to take my test. I had my report card to back up my grades and it was okay with them. However, I remember that I have been arguing since July. I didn't have a very happy 16 years old birthday either. We argued and eventually we just ended up paying for the bill for the buffet, ending up not having a very good appetite. I'm still not allowed to go out for my driving lessons until April, and my parents won't allow me to get a car either. Sometimes I really wonder if they are my natural parents because they never understand you, and they only tie you up behind the bars so you won't mess up. I however think that school is not everything, you have to find something fun to do. I'm really sick of school, but I'm not allowed to do anything else. Sure I can start a fight with them about letting me go have some fun with a prostitute, but what good will that do? I try my best to make the situation better. Even if I do something wrong, I feel good by trying. WHat's so hard about going for your detention? Face your fears, live your dreams.

You should be glad that they only took your truck keys, you'll learn your lesson. They'll probably only suspend you from driving for one or two months so you learn your lesson, but in my opinion that is better than pain. The pain that really hurts though is that they are dissapointed in you. Nothing could be worse, and I know how it feels.

I'm sorry for all this ranting, but I felt that I had to release my stress too. Flame me all you want, I'm only expressing my opinions. And it does feel good to let out all that stress once in a while

Thats why I dropped out of school...

...but got my deploma another way. :D
If you intentionally mis-spelled diploma this is a very funny post - if you didn't intentionally mis-spell it, it's still a very funny post.

:naughty:

I hated school for the longest time. It's something that is stuck with you until your way past being an adult. I was ready to quit since my freshman year. I wasn't getting along too well with my father and my mother almost had a near death experience and was hospitalized. (This was my sophmore year) On top of all this, my father took away my dirtbike because I wasn't going to 'drop out of school' like he wanted me to. I know, how fucked up is that... So I broke into our garage durring the night with my backpack full of stuff and literaly ran away. I never slept another night at his house ever again.

I tried to get ahold of my counselor, but he was being a dick and wouldn't let me see him and this went on for 2 weeks, I was living on my own at my mothers house and I just decided, fuck the system, and I took the classes I wanted to take, which were Autobody and Ag Science (really cool teacher). The school didn't seem to care, so neither did I. (I even took the after school autobody classes) After this went on for quite a while, my counselor decides he finally wants to see me, so every note he sent me asking to go to the office I just threw away. He should have respected my needs to change classes before I got absolutely behind, dickhead.

So, having my story be in a nut shell, I took the 'California High School Proficiency Examination' (CHSPE) and with passing this test, I needingly get a certificate of completion, that any employer in the United States have to respect it like a High School Diploma. I was soo happy to pass this test. I felt as if I aced everything but the essay. As I was sitting at my table looking at the clock (1 hour left) All I had to do was an essay, but I wasn't very good at spelling, so I look down, and behold... the thick 50 page test booklet they gave us for multiple choice! I look around with a grin and go through, page by page, wrighting down complex words to go into my essay. I barely finnish it, but when I did, I was so relieved. I guess it's good to be a problem solver. (Top 2% in the state)

To sum it up,

I am relaxing at home, with a side job to give me pocket change, looking for work at our dozens of autobody shops in the county. Me and my best friend restored his 70' chevelle, which took exacly a year to complete. This would have been my Senior year in high school with him, but I am so relieved to be done with it.

Oh yeah, and I tried to hit things off with my Father once more, but he's still more of an arrogant bastard, so I think its over between us...

I could write a book about my life, but this is a Forum, and that's as short as I could get it.

ok ok i get it...I know what you guys all mean and actually I agree with you. I was extremely pissed off when I said these things because a lot of shit is happening right now, but you guys are totally right. Thanks. I kind of feel stupid now, but yeah, you are all right.

Hey man, thats the right kind of attitude to have. :smokin: Keep it real.

God I've learned so many things tonight...I have now fucked myself over with my grades, and my only hope is that I get accepted to NADC or some other nice auto college and manage to get my own garage off the ground. Otherwise I'm stuck with some shitty job that pays like minimum wage. You see, I have been so bent on hating my parents that I just quit doing homework all together, because that's what really pisses them off. I used to be in the gifted programs and stuff, I got straight A's but I just got tired of it. My family was always putting so much pressure on me about getting good grades...so much that I cried when I got my first B. I know, I felt like a pussy. But now I've realized that for the past 4 years or so I have just dragged myself down. And you guys have helpped me realize this. Maybe I can still not be a total fuck up...thanks everyone.

so now you've learned your lesson? good.

closing, because i don't want people coming in from left field after the fact saying stuff...just doesn't look too kosher..
