Parents

[Servbot41]

ARE EVIL! I mean for one stupid little tiny thing (played gameboy that someone else owned at a band football game thing) I GET GROUNDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE which is AT LEAST 3 weeks. I cant do anything at all (I shouldnt even be here!) so PSO is gone for 3 weeks...STUPID PARENTS! And the band director didnt even care!

[Shattered_weasel]

there has to be something more to this then what meets the eye???

[Servbot41]

dont think so...nope! oh and they are mad at my grades OMG I HAD ALL A's ONCE! I HAVE TO HAVE THEM FOREVER NOW! A 87 ISNT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM! so that too. yeah there is some more to it sorry!

[Shattered_weasel]

well at least you can go on the computer...i can't do that when i am grounded.

[_Ted_]

Are you sure you didn't do something more than your letting on? Like beating somebody with the gameboy and then screaming obsenities at your band director?

[Servbot41]

HA my parents would KILL ME if I did that! Oh and I shouldnt be on the comp unless Im doing homework which is my excuse at the moment

[Servbot41]

yeah but I have to turn in 16 notecards for a project tomorrow and geometry homework AND my parents are asking me to do stuff every 15 mins!

[_Ted_]

Then what the heck are you doing on PSOW! Go do your homework!

[Servbot41]

hehe ooopppsss lol its boring homework that I CANT FIND ANYTHING ON! GAAAAHHH!

[_Ted_]

Boring doing homework! No way! I though it was supposed to be exciting! Maybe thats why I'm having so much trouble with my Trig homework, its not supposed to be enjoyable! It all makes sense now! Thank you very much Servbot41, you've saved me so much trouble. j/k, homework, yeh whatever....AHHHHHHHH its raining ashes, the sky is filled with smoke, someone lit the mountians on fire!!!

[Shattered_weasel]

I have a brilliant strategy for homework

say you dont have any and then do it in advisory

or

pay someone to do it

see i am smart

[Servbot41]

Got no money and I have no chance of doing it at school! Could you help me maybe? looking up Sylvia Plath and her poems (themes rhyme sceme that sort of thing)

[_Ted_]

There are reasons parents do the things they do. You'll figure it out later. Trust me on this.

[Robo47]

Hah Hah silly children and there groundings!
But yeh I feel for you all. When I was a lad if I
got anything lower than a B I couldn't do anything
Not even leave my room.So, hey my folks! Check this out ya little bastards! I got 2 Cs in Computer Science!

P.S. I'm 21.

lucky u, im still not passing my computer science class, and this is my second time around. anyway, my mom never got mad enough to ground so i havent had the pleasure of being grounded. it may or may not have been ur fualt, but parents get like that sometimes and u just have to deal with it, sorry to say.

[Bradicus]

I am slowly convincing my mother that she is loosing her memory.... soon she will be putty in my hand!

[_Ted_]

My my, aren't you the evil one Bradicus?

[Nai_Calus]

Parents do the things they do for a reason?
Oh good, so someday I'll understand why my mother used to beat me over the head(closed fists) and call me a worthless failure and a whore and other such niceties for such things as the cats urinating over the side of the litterpan, and earlier just randomly stormed over out of nowhere and screamed at me about running a virus scan on the computer for no apparent reason at all, and told me to get off it since I'd been on it all day despite the fact that I'd only been on it an hour.

Righto.

By the way, I'm 20, when the holy hell am I supposed to understand this? When I'm 80? When I die?

I've never been grounded. Mother would never take me anywhere, so I've spent my entire life sitting in my room doing a whole lot of nothing anyways(Can't drive yet. Afraid. Mother gets violent in the car, and I see two dimensionally. Recipe for disaster.)

[anwserman]

20? Couldn't you move out then?

[PhoenixOfHate]

Not as easy as just moving out.. Even harder when he/she can't drive.. As for being grounded for 3 weeks for gameboy advance.. That sucks.. I stopped getting grounded.. Now they just come in my room and start looting stuff.. No words spoken.. You made a bad grade on the science test? ::Goes in my room and takes the tv out.:: You didn't pick up the phone when I called? ::Takes the xbox or phone:: Continues on like that until I have nothing left but clothes and my bed.. Unless they are really pissed.. Then they take pillows too.. Don't believe me ask Stardragon159..

[PontiusR]

Be like me. My dad was yelling at me so I walked out and drove away. Been living on my own since. I still go to school and everything is about the same...but it helps that I live with a friend. My two brothers were both geniuses though...one lives in Mexico imprisoned for fighting in the Zapatista movement and the other runs a business in Detroit...and I live on the computer.

PS I'm a little over 19 now.

whats up with the ... Weasel? do you think thats cool
or are you just slow?

[MasterJoel]

lets not be making fun of weasels...

my parents didn't ground me... they realized that it wasn't an effective tool. on the other hand, removing luxuries such as a GB or other such video game systems, tvs, and such, that was easy for them... now that i look back, i think it is rather silly how i begged to get them back. i can see why parents do certain things (outside of the abuse iankun spoke of), but parents do make mistakes... i don't think there is a parent alive that hasn't said "i'm going to make changes so i am not the same kind of parent my own parents were"... and i'm sure you are saying the same thing. you can have spoiled brats if you want to.

[Servbot41]

Heh, my homework didnt get done (a first really!) and my parents dont know! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif So, I cant drive or do anything like that on my own (14 I am) and like someone else here (Sorry i cant remember your name my memory is going bad right now!) B- or lower = ground. But grrr I cant do anything else besides video games Ive read all my books and have no friends to do anything with (im grounded remember?) and just agggrrivated!

Effective comeback...my feelings are so crushed. This doesn't really mean much to me considering you tried to tell me off via PM and then blocked me right after. Go suck your mommy's tit you cum guzzling whore.

Both of you can stop right now. You both know the rules and if you can't handle it yourselves in pm's, drop it.

[polishedweasel]

Personally I don't care for you and feel that you're one of the most stupid people I've ever come in contact with. So...it's dropped...warning +1 right?

[Dime]

Better be +1, since I got one for just calling someone stupid.

A B- ! Your parents are right, you're a complete and utter failure in life! I would suggest suicide. j/k (not the sarcasm). That's kind of harsh, but it just goes to show you if you give everyone a trashy effort at first then whenever you do anything even semi-acceptable then they will be impressed with you!

That was absolutely hilarious. In fact, it was so funny, I entirely forgot to bloody laugh. Ha. Ha. Ha.
*twitches*
And this, folks, is why I never bothered to tell anyone when I was younger about what went on.
And I highly doubt she'd want me to be a boxer, she's always whining that I'm not feminine enough. And then I sit there and think to myself, "Gee, I wonder why".
Anyways. Sod off.

This is almost spam...and shameless plugging of your fanfic. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Speaking of parents...my dad just came in my room and started play Madden. Thing is, he leave my games lying around in my room. Everyone always does that to my shit...I'ma kill em all!

[starhealer]

Parents aren't so bad, even when they make mistakes. Generally it's just that they want the best for you and aren't always correct in how they implement that. Just like us, they do silly things.

Heck, I used to get grounded every Sunday morning because I'd walk my friend home. Granted, I didn't tell my mother where I was going, but after the sixth time you'd think she'd learn...

My biggest beef with parental punishment is that they always punish one child more than another. When my sister and I were little, I always got grounded and she never did. Right annoying, that.

To Ian: I know this won't help you any, but I'm sorry to hear about how your mother treated you. Unfortunately, there are some bad parents out there and there is no excuse for how they treat their children. It's just nice knowing you didn't turn out like her. Besides, what's wrong with "not being feminine?"

To Servbot: You're fourteen and studying Silvia Plath? You poor soul...her writing is incredibly depressive and deals a lot in symbolism and imagery. I never even looked at Plath until I was sixteen or so. A couple of girls in my AP English class did a project on her back in high-school. It was an...interesting...presentation, to say the least.

Fun tidbit, though. Did you know she killed herself? Ah, learn something new everyday.

[Servbot41]

Oh yay someone spelled servbot right! But she wrapped her head in a towel and stuck it in an oven. But she left food and drink for her kids before. Scary. Oh and she is depressing as heck!

My dirtbag, drugbag, unemployed older brother who moved in with me always does that shit with my Xbox games. Any game left out, or left in my Xbox, I delete his saves for. If he puts his games away, but does not put my game back in, I delete his saves. If he does not put my video game chair back where I like to sit, I delete his saves. If he leaves any food trash in my room like empty soda cans (which i pay for) I delete his saves.
I can't try to kill him because he could rip me limb from limb if he wanted to.
It just really pisses me off to come home after working sometimes 16 hours to find all my stuff messed with by someone who hasn't worked since February.

[OnnaWren]

Parents, siblings, whatever.

Be glad you have them.

It's far better to have shitty parents, siblings, whatever, than to have none at all... -_-

Believe me, I had a younger, dirtbag, drugbag, younger brother (I'm 30, remember?) that lived off of my mom (RIP) after my dad's death until she died... and he wrapped himself around a tree.

Beleieve me, it's true what one says; "You never know what you've got 'till it's gone".

My family may have never amounted to much (abusive, neglectful, hateful, spiteful, hurtful, lot), but they were all I had.

And they're gone.

Friends and the internet help to fill the void a bit, but having no living relatives can be a real drag a lot of the time.

Take it from one who knows.

[Bradicus]

I got a "b" on my interm report (three weeks into school) my mom flipped, and told me to go to guidance ( http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif ). when she saw me on the computer, she told me to get off, when she saw me watching TV she told me to do homework (I had none). I merely shrugged my shoulders, and started reading. Later, she screamed that i spent too much time reading, and not enough studying. I laughed in her face.
Now i hang this moment over her head.

her -why are you on that damn computer again?
me -jesus mom! At least im not reading.

[Guile]

I was always cool with my parents, they were never strict with me really.

Your flames are only something a female would say.

Oh and by the way, don't start fights just because I don't post my real birthdate. Retard.

One more thing, I searched through my old posts and found the first problem.

I made an Anime Villians poll and my mouse and keyboard were busted up a little.
You decided to use Shattered's account to say and I

Then later you ask me is scr3w3d supposed to be cool?get a fucking life.

Obviously I have more of one than you.

Same here. I think its due to the fact that they arent that older than me. When parents are overly strict I normally find its due to the difference in age. Grounding is the stupidest punishment ever. It doesnt work and you get a hatred for your parents. All you need is for someone to inspire you into doing someting.

It's the whole punishment vs. reward vs. positive/negative reinforcement. Children respond differently to various disciplinary tactics, but generally all-out punishment (like grounding) just makes the child hate the parent.

Of course, we could also get into authoritarian parenting vs. authoritative parenting, but...*shrugs*

I don't know about that, the age difference between my parents and I is quite large, but they aren't over harsh or strict. I think the way parents operate comes from their own upbringing and from what kind of people they are, not their age.

[polishedweasel]

My stepmom talked to me today about how I've been "distant" from everyone in the whole family recently(since I turned 18) Anyway, it seems that they want me to talk more to them, unfortunately, I start basic training on Wednesday, and leave the house forever on Tuesday. :


Bad timing?
