Originally posted by FortetParents are not there to ruin everything. They are there for protection! Without them, we would screw up almost everything we do and be in deep crap. When you do something wrong, of course they punish you! It's a good way to make sure you don't make that same mistake. Think about it:You do someting bad.They punish you.You start to do it again, but then remember how bad punishment was.Good idea, no?I have no problem with my parents. I appreciate what they do for me. I may be mad when I'm in trouble, but I appreciate what they did later. See what I'm going at here?
I got hit by this one foster dad, but only when I did stupid stuff. He always did it because he was concerned about me, not because he was mad at me. The only time he actually hurt me was when I rode by bike through the bay window. He beat the crap out of me for thatI never got in a lot of trouble with any of my other parents, they weren't that bad, I was the source of any dysfunction. :/

Originally posted by geminiHeh......You have it Good....Ive Been A)A ChildB)A parentC)Homelessand having seens all 3 of these points of view, your a dumb teenager, that thinks they have it all figured out....In 5 years, youre going to wish your parents were still around to punish you for innane mistakes...heh.....but, thats half the fun of it.....looking back and realizing how stupid you were...You seem like a relatively smart kid....but you lack severe amounts of life experience......and seem to be in denial over this.If you were my kid, Id have made you punish yourself. Perhaps that sounds stupid....but then again, if you were my kid, I would be wondering why my son acts so spoiled. meh.....
