hitting,slapping or beating their children.Like takeing away privilages as in talking on the
plone,money,no hanging with their friends after school and telling them to go to there
room until they respectually and sincerally apoligise.I believe kids can grow up with
respect.Parent need to create an enviroment that allows them to grow up well.but I also
agree that now a days parents are busy at work and have no time for there kids too.I
think Adults need to wait to have kids untill they are ready and can teach them and raise
them right before they have kids. I am 18 and use no bad language what so ever.I have
never been grounded or hit or really punished by my parents ever.I have never
smoked,drunk,or have done any drugs eaither. I have noticed that almost all teens
these days are so out of line.I have know idea how they have gotten so bad.My mom runs
a home scool tutoring place.and I have come to believe that just about all teens are that
way no a days the horrible attitudes and unrespectfulness that they show.That makes me
quite sad accutally bacause there are very few that I can talk to and hang out with for all
the reasons above our personalities just don't mesh well.This is just a bit at how I look at
things. :o Thank you ever so very much for listening. ^_^ *giggles* :p
Ditto on that. Hard finding good friends our age. Three of my best friends left before/after high school and the only friend left here I consider a "best" friend is so damn busy with his college classes and band and choir and tutoring and... god he does a lot. So ya, he's too busy to do anything most the time lol.
However, I did get into a phase where I started doing drugs for about 6 months. Still have no idea why I did it and I never will again. Hell, I havn't even drank for almost two years. Well, I take that back. I drank once at my girlfriends uncles wedding. Other than that I havn't drank for two years.
Oh and Vicious, I kinda know what you mean when you said you went out and tried that same corner at the same speed. While I wouldn't have done it with my car (i have a very rollable jeep wrangler lol) I did the same thing with my snowboard. My friend went down a very steep slope and went off a really hard jump and landed on her head doing a backflip and had to go to the hospital. So what do I do? I go and try it the next day! Ya... that was stupid... lol. Ended up with a concussion too. =P I just didn't really need to go to the hospital so I didn't... lol. I didn't try it again, but I do know where you're coming from when you did that.
