Ryo, your going to make me cry. I don't care to brand myself as "punk", since that steadily becomes more a description of clothing rather than anything else, but deep down that's probably what I am. Although a big part of me is quite cowboy-like.
As for everything else mentioned here.
Parenting is tricky. Hitting your kids can be usefull, but if you can't do it right they will still suck. Try letting someone else hit them. I don't remember being hit as a child, but then I never really needed to be.
I don't know that respect is what needs to be learned, so much as boundries. There are alot of people who think they deserve respect, but never do anything to show that they do. They need to be tolerated. Like someone said earlier teens over react. When they deal with someone who hasn't earned respect, they need to not take it as far as they do.
Of course some are just assholes.
Doing drugs to escape pain is weakness. Doing them because your bored is a hobbie, just keep it under control.
Putting up walls to keep people out sucks. What sucks more is when people think theres somthing wrong with you because those walls cause you to react differently than they do. I was in the hospital for a few hours after a car accident, while I was there news came that one passenger didn't make it. The hospital sent a grief counsel lady to tell me to cry and offer me hugs. I stared her down and told her I didn't want a hug, nor did I need to cry. She could not comprehend that, but she could send me a bill two weeks later for the 30 seconds she was in my room. And I'm the one whose cold?
Ciden, your taste in automobiles is spectacular, I'm very jealous. Even pushed to it's limits, the nicest Accord in the world is shit next to a mud splattered scratched and dented Wrangler. Curse the fates for making me drive this piece of shit.
That's everything. If it's not clear, it's because I'm feeling lazy and just want to ramble.
