Does anyone else find them ridiculous? I was just sitting out front of my house and came into the house at 9:02 and since I wasn't technically at home I got lectured about it. I know for a fact that my mom did drugs and smoked and partied but I sit on the front stairs with two of my friends and get into trouble with it. What. The. Fuck.
So, not only do my friends consider my parents the ones that over react but now they know it for a fact. Truth or dare? Nope. Energy drinks? Hell nah. Sitting on the front stairs for 2 extra minutes? Over my dead body.
Why are parents so strict about this stuff? They were hit and had no curfews (or very late ones) and they turned out fine, now we're in some era where hitting your kids can have them taken away and curfews are a main part of life, for me at least. Lot's of times it'll be 8pm and I won't be able to go out because it's "too late". What am I going to do at home?! Update Twitter? Play Minecraft? Would it not be way better for me to have friends and go outside?!
Now, I know that I probably hit a sore spot when I mentioned getting hit. Personally, that works for me. I don't respect them if they're just feeding me total BS and if they won't go through with something why the fuck should I believe them? When my parents are strong enough to hurt me I do gain respect for them, they are actually realizing that it works for me (not everyone though and to a limit). Some kids, need physical discipline, not some bullshit no phone crap.
I can go months without my phone and laptop, I've had to do it because of groundings before, I can handle that. Currently I am grounded from reading. That's right; reading. I read like there's no tomorrow and I'm not allowed to read at my own house. THIS punishment is hurting me, it's getting to me because I want nothing more than to read in silence for hours at a time. Books are better than real life, we are pretty much guarunteed a happy ending and we end up with all the lose ends tied up. When I get into a good book and the main character is courageus, ya, I join in because I can relate to them, I won't go around murdering people but every book I read changes me. I get up and I feel different, I get happy and sad and disapointed with the main character. When a characters parents die, I feel the pain and it might just be me but we become friends and it's great.
So, I just got very off topic so I'll talk again soon!
