Since when am I the content one?
What is with you guys? Is no one content with just realizing it's not as bad as it seems for 3 more short years? Geez, and just think Trish, you can go ahead, and just like hang out with friends extra lots, then come to school down here in Austin and rent my Dad's house with me and Erin Si. K?
(and if you want me to help I need to know WHY you want to move out. )
Neurotically Yours,

OoooooooomK. So here's the deal, I was just angry, I don't really wanna move out. Three more years isn't too bad, I'm just gonna be way ready to move out by the time I'm 18 because I just think my parents are ridiculous, I already resent them. They don't trust me with anything. My dad blocks anything and everything on the TV that could "contaminate" my brain, which is ridiculous cause I have my ways of getting around those blocks, and nevertheless I hear enough contamination at school. I think it's insane I can't get dread locks, arg! It's my hair, and my parents don't even take the time to listen to me, I tell them over and over again YOU HAVE TO WASH YOUR HAIR! But whenever the subject comes up they just always say, "ewe." When really dread locks are quite clean, I suppose the natural way would be gross for the first few weeks, but other than that they're clean. Then I was talkin to my dad about Eddi and he said he wouldn't approve of him if he had long hair or piercings. Which is dumb because my dad has this like prejudice issue goin on with long haired guys, and long haired guys can be the nicest guys ever and he just looks at them and thinks they're stupid. GAH!!!!!! Three more years, four more years, whatever, I can handle it, I just think my parents(especially my dad) can be utterly utterly ridiculous.

That's stupid. Just stay as far as way as possible then. What is wrong with guys with piercings and long hair? If you suddenly turned into a guy would be all racist against you? ROAR! Things like that make no sense. Besides, what about the "don't judge a book by it's cover" saying? (I can't help you with the dreadlocks thing, I have no idea how you make them or anything) Some parents think teenagers are the stupidest things around. Let us make our own stupid mistakes, let us make our own decisions. Let us decide whether it was right or wrong. I think that by our age, parents kinda stop raising us. So we stand up on our own feet. *shoots stupid parents*
Ok this probably didn't help...oh wells! *runs*

Eh, my parents are nice, I love them. But I think some of the things they do just I don't think they think about them at all. I think they still raise me, a little too much honestly. I just need to gather up the courage to sit them down and talk to them about it. I get the feeling that they think since I like certain things or listen to certain things or do certain things I'm not their little Christian girl Trisha anymore. But I still am, I am just finding my own faith. Be it as it may, it is different then theirs.

With the blocks, yes they suck, but they're just doing what they can to try and protect you, they know they can't do it everywhere, but it's just natural for a parent to try and protect their baby when they can. It still sucks on our end, but geez, they're just trying to be loving.
The dread locks well, that's a matter of opinion but even I see and dreadlocks and go Ewe. These giant turd looking things coming out of your head, and the way they are usually made (and therefore even when they aren't made the normal way, it's just the mental connection) brings up images of gross dirtiness because of dreadlocks commonly being made by not washing your hair. just, ewe.
And the piercings, of course any one can be anything other than a stereotype, but it goes back to the whole parent protecting their child. If you see you daughter spending all of her time with a boy, and the boy is a relatively clean cut nice looking well shaven boy, you're going to think he's more mature, more polite, better behaved than say the guy with piercings and green hair that your daughter's hanging all over. That;'s not to say the clean cut guy might be a pig and the pierced guy might be the best guy ever, but it's just natural. You also have to consider that your parents grew up with the he long haired pierced guys being the hippies who did drugs wanted to bring down "the man" and spat on soldiers coming back from war and called them baby killers. They grew up with these people being different than what they are now.
When parents go overboard, yeah it can suck, but in cases like your trish, it's just because they really love you and don't want anything bad to happen to their girl. It sucks on your end, yeah, but just remember that they only act that way because they don't want anyhting bad to happen to you, a naive thing, but a protective loving parent thing.
Neurotically Yours,

Why, I must say that was some pretty Dr. Philish advice. It did however, make sense. And I suppose I knew all that from the beginning I just wanted to rant. That is what this forum is for right? Really I just fear that my parents won't accept the piercings or the dread locks or the long hair even if they find a nice person underneath.
