Author Topic: I'm grounded to "prevent myself from getting bad grades"  (Read 11680 times)

Bro just get good grades, leave all that gaming crap out for now. Grade 11/12 is the grades that set your life, you either will be a complete loser or a successful person. It's your choice.

good, you're an exception.

If you hate your job, leave it and go find a job doing something you enjoy. If you don't want to leave because you don't want to risk being poor, then you like the financial stability factor of your job. If you don't want to leave because you're worried your boss might get upset, then you need to re-read all of my messages.

No, it really isn't. As I've emphasized already, you're your own person. You're essentially saying that the dictatorship of your life by your parents is entirely acceptable. It isn't. The advice they have for you is optional, you make the final call on everything. Not subscribing to the ownership and control of your life by a third party is part of being free. Your parents made the choice to conceive you on their own; you don't owe them anything for the work they chose to do without consulting you. It's the equivalent to the person who built your house trying to tell you how to place your furniture. forget them, place the furniture wherever you want to.
I'm not making a social call here to say forget everyone else, do what makes you happy. I'm making a point that you should pursue your own happiness. And no, you're never forced to do anything unless you violate laws. Then you lose civil liberties, but until that point nobody can make you do anything you don't want to. Also, working makes me happy. It makes me feel productive, intelligent, powerful, and I enjoy the act of it. I do it in my free time without getting paid, too.
Are you even reading what I'm saying? I already addressed this point prior to your response.

You're a teenager climbing the hill to your physiological peak and he's over the hill and on the physiological decline.

I like how you ignored my point. You can't do anything to stop your parents, they can stop legally being your parents with a simple form, and then you'll live in a foster home, and I'm sure that's far better than listening to all their rules! You don't seem to understand that being under their roof is a privilege, not a right.

I wonder if Trinick actually believes the stuff that's spilling out of his mouth right now.

you are going to be very successful in the future, you are rrreeeaaalllyyy going to get lots of money from your job, and your children will love you, as well as your wife.

im 80% sure $trinick couldnt beat his dad in a fight

ive seen kids try to fight their parents and the parents make them their bitch
because they pretty much are

also, if you sue your parents, you get put into foster care, so you're essentially kicking yourself out and ive seen kids who tried what he suggested and they're pretty forgeted.
This one guy, Antonio, had anger issues and my mom told me what he did and what his superiors think of him. They dont give 2 stuffs and are basically trying to get him out of society quickly as possible; they pretty much didnt waste their time getting him on track to getting a job/being a real adult.

jesus christ parents today are incompetent tools

wait no offense though

you've forgotten the point.
sometimes we are stuck in a situation where we are close to HAVING to work.
like  being in a town where there's only one crummy job and you can't leave this "town"

i don't know about your dad but whenever my parents took away my computer and stuff it only ever lasted for a week or so. But I also was able to still play games a lot cause my parents got home a few hours after i did from school.

I didn't think you were serious, so I didn't bother replying. If your parents put you up for adoption, get a job and apply for legal emancipation. With an income you'll meet all the requirements for emancipation. Plus, I'm sure the foster care system would be happy to release someone from it.

EDIT: You also seem to have a gross misunderstanding on how the adoption process works. You don't just show up at an adoption agency with your teenage son and say "Yup! I don't want him anymore. Where do I sign him in?"

Cool. If your parents make you their bitch you need to stop reading my messages and call 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) right now. This is not acceptable behavior from parents.

also, if you sue your parents, you get put into foster care, so you're essentially kicking yourself out and ive seen kids who tried what he suggested and they're pretty forgeted.

Anecdotal evidence; original research. Not a reputable source of information, doesn't warrant a response.

noedit:and thats supposed to make him just sit his ass down and take your stuff?
First off, you edited your post thus voiding the noedit. Second, it gives you an edge over them. If your parents are football players, professional weight lifters, or in any other situation that would give them an unfair advantage over you, my advice is not for you. You can try it, and if they respond with overwhelming force, see the top of this post. All the best sports players age around 20. Performance is a bell curve with the apex around this age. Plus, you have the excuse that you were using self defense if all goes south. I'm not recommending you go attack your parent to show them who is boss, but if your parent uses this kind of force on you, you need to not only fight back for your safety, but contact the appropriate authorities because under no circumstance is the abuse of a child okay.

you've forgotten the point.

You can always leave the town. Go homeless, tests have shown that in bigger cities homeless people can make over a thousand dollars a day just by holding up a sign. forget, you could even steal seed packets and start a farm. On the note of stealing, commit a crime and get arrested. Go to jail; you get food, shelter, exercise, and entertainment. For free. The only thing you lack is freedom, which is apparently what you lacked before anyway so might as well go for it.

This is not acceptable behavior from parents.
This is not acceptable behavior from a loving child either.

$trinick logic:

if your parents do something you dont like, beat them up

I would seriously recommend not listening to Trinick's advice, he's an angsty script kiddie with a narcissism disorder that literally prevents him from getting along with anyone.

Cool. If your parents make you their bitch you need to stop reading my messages and call 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) right now. This is not acceptable behavior from parents.
Yeah and if you beat up your parents when they try to help you succeed in life and then ask for respect after giving you literally everything you have in life then you need to call up a mental institution because you're a loving crackpot.

jesus christ slick what the hell lol

your parents =/= everyone else's parents.

i would suggest your advice if OP was like 20, in college and still dependent on their parents.  but he's like 14 and dependent, so no.



OP just man up and deal with it.  idk what the forget is with everyone going "oh god what horrible parents" or "how unfair", tough stuff you forgeted up and now your parents want to see you get set straight.  time to pick up a new hobby.

i had it much worse, i'd get grounded for MONTHS at a time due to the length of time between progress reports.  last time i got grounded was middle school.  if you keep a balance in your life between academics and everything else you should be fine.  if you're struggling, get help, seriously.

$trinick logic:

if your parents do something you dont like, beat them up
yeah really

beat up the people who feed you and clothe you.  how grateful and appreciative of their support in making sure you don't do stuff in school.

I was grounded from sixth grade to 10th for this exact reason.
