I've Had Enough!

[Godavari]

Punch them in the throats. They're horrible parents, and nobody can deny that. If I were you, I would have started being a rebel teenager a long time ago. Good on ya for moving the PC back, but you should probably go even farther. When they get back, just rail on them. They deserve it.

Here's the cure to all your familial problems, repeat after me
[HEADING=1]FUCK THEM![/HEADING]

It maybe harsh and painful but you have to live your own life and measure yourself by your own standards. Your father maybe a success but the end of the day you are his son and you are the culmination of twenty one years of his and your mother's upbringing so if they have any disappointments it's for themselves and they are projecting it onto you to make themselves feel better.

Now here's some inspiration for ya!

(99.3% on the exam, with a 122 IQ recorded by same

You should be good at Math's then.

Admittedly, Math was my weakest part of the test (88.3%, compared to Science at 99.9% and English at 93.5%), and I pretty much said "Fuck it" and guessed most of the answers.

what about what else I said?

Well your IQ is 122 then your on the cusp of the logic/common sense barrier, which is good. But a good foundation in maths is good, and having over 75 % in maths is pretty good, so you should be proud of yourself.

Honestly? Because what you said didn't need any elaborating. It was pretty dead on.

sorry, i see what you mean, but being an angry angst person doesn't actually help.

snap!snap!snap!snap!snap!snap!snap!snap!snap!

Do it you know you want to. KILL THEM ALL.

The only alternative is becoming me, but... that's not for everyone.

Okay I read it in more detail... and well. Dude wow. middle class problem of the day? Seriously. It's really not bad. I have friends who are on the verge of getting themselves killed over helping his mates out. Other friends who's father is a drunken twat and a brother with ADHD. Myself who is petrified I'm going to end up paralysed. and your problem are parents who have a go at you? I have that. My god... man, realise there are bigger things in the world. Put it into perspective it wont be so bad then.

ahh well if your Dad does have an inferiority complex and he paid for the PC then you can't do anything.

Because if your better at him at using a PC then his inferiority complex will explode every time you try to teach him, because in his head he'll go "hold on, this kid is trying to assert dominance over me since he knows more at this shit?"

Sorry to sound pessimistic, but that type of personality is very difficult to interact with due to their own self esteem issues.

edit i added "issues" because I forgot too before! i'm rubbish!

True. Factor in senility, and cultural stuff that screws with people all the time, and you could pretty much make him a semi-sympathetic character.

And to be perfectly honest, despite all the crap he gives me, he's still my dad. I'm named after him, I take a lot of my love of music from him, I learned how to enjoy camping and fishing from him.

It's just that for a lot of my life, things he's done have directly or indirectly made my life hell. I know it seems petty, but honestly? I don't care about being petty. I've tried being nice and considerate, and I got walked all over.

 

[obliterate]

Bravo, man! Just remember, "never confuse kindness with weakness." I'm a nice guy as well, but people know not to try and walk all over me.

Anywho, this is your life, not theirs. They had their chance to live the life they wanted, and they're not allowed to try and redo it through yours, or to make you their little puppet when you're a full-grown adult. You've stood up, now never let them knock you down.

Well I am a nice guy too but there are a few people who can annoy me and when they do I turn the page...I don't wanna be seen as the weakling and I don't need anyone's pity...I am who I am and everyone will have to live with that

 

[Numb1lp]

To hell with your parents, you sound like a nice guy.

How old is your father?, he teached* you fishing and other stuff that he liked? and he was fine? probably because he was the rule maker in that when you was the rookie. Its why I love teaching my nephews Martial Arts, i'm stronger than they are, but when they grow up they will be stronger than me.

My uncles instilled respect into me, in that I was stronger than they are, but I should still respect them for the things they have teached* me made me stronger, without their impartial knowledge I would not be like this now.... You may surpass your teacher, but always respect him or her.

Your dad doesn't get that, you've surpassed him, but he wants respect and constant re assurance of it.

the reason he would be a semi sympathetic character is that he's the blue collar hard labourer that can make a case for himself in being the submissive person... much like yourself, he's purely passing on the hardship onto you.


*sorry, I don't know that word, when you teach someone in the third person? or in the past? tought? its not tought is it? when you've been teached something? oh god its difficult! ah I got all stressed now!

[DigitalSushi]

Your not petty, stay nice and considerate, you'll get alot more from being nice in the long run trust me. At least others will like you for who you are instead of treading around you just to stop you blowing up in their face.

Be nice to people, it pays off.

Exposition moment!
I'm nice to the dust bin man, whose covered in crap, I held out my hand to shake his hand and he said "but i'm dirty", I said "it doesn't matter".

My nephew fly tipped my brochures, to which I would have gotten a 1000 pound fine, the dirty dust bin man asked his superiors to not fine me, because it was my first offence, and I wouldn't do it again.

Being nice works in the long run.

1) Taught.

2) My dad is far from blue collar. The family is one of those old-money families. He has never had to do hard labor in his entire life, even being able to skip ROTC when it was a requirement.

ahh, thank you Nimbus, i'm rubbish at the written Language.

Speaking it is a different matter, I can talk the pants off most people in several different languages, but written one language is fucking difficult!

Your parents sound like... yeah...
My mum never supports me, but still thinks she has bragging rights, telling her friends I get straight As and I'm amazing at drama, I'm gonna be an actress.
I've never got an A and she hasn't seen one of my plays for three years.

whats ROTC?

Reserve Officers Training Corps.

Its a requirement for students in 4th year high school until they graduate from college. Basically, it's like boot camp, but more on "marching and rifle drills" than "physical fitness"

 

[Xorghul]

And to be perfectly honest, despite all the crap he gives me, he's still my dad.

ARRRRGH! You're seriously pissing me of with your "he's still my dad" bullshit.
Why should that make any difference? He's an arse!
Come to Europe! We need you!
