I was going to, but she doesn't like Hollister, I refuse to buy anything Apple-related, and to if I'm buying her a car ... she can't even keep her room habitable.
You say that now, but wait until 30 years from now when your daughter and her husband let you stay in their spare room as opposed to just dropping your senile ass off at a nursing home.Two-way street, my ass.

Longevity doesn't run in my family so I'm not really concerned about lasting that long.
I'm realllllly hoping you didn't miss my point.
This is Bush's fault.
just messin with ya
LOL, hope you didn't sprain your pussy reading all the hurtful words from the internet mob.
seriously, join the military or join a monestary...or something.
if your parents cant teach you responsibility and individualism by the time youre 20, find somebody else who can.
I think I'm closer to your age than anyone here, so I can relate how it felt to be an adolescent. happens, I get it. Now you just have to pick up the pieces and make ammends. It won't be easy, especially if your parents are the proud type, but it's gotta be done. Obviously wait a while though. Chances are they feel pretty bad for giving you the suggestion of leaving in the first place. Let them think about it for a while, cause as much as everyone else here loves ripping the kid, I don't exactly think their reaction was parent-perfect.
He's not an adolescent, so that excuse no longer applies. He's a grown man living with his parents.
Somehow I get the feeling he has misrepresented himself a few ways. Look at all the kids on MySpace who say they're 24.
(Not that I know any...sounds incriminating)
If you go through your whole life whining and blaming people for how they spoke to you when you do something stupid, you are never going to learn responsibility. You will lead a miserable and pathetic life.
The true solution to all of this is CALM THE DOWN sinister boy. Don't yell at your mother, don't take anything that doesn't belong to you without permission EVEN IF THEY ARE YOUR PARENTS.
ballijuana, you are wrong for defending this guy. In the future, when he arrives late for work and his boss yells at him/threatens to fire him is he going to scream STFU!!! and scratch his face again? Will you be here once again whining about the boss being a prick? The boss/mother/anyone might be a prick or annoying, BUT IT'S UP TO YOU NOT TO UP IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT'S YOUR FAULT. DEAL WITH IT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. HE ED UP. NO GETTING AROUND IT.
You need to realize that you cannot control the people on earth. You can only control yourself. You can whine and whine about the people who talk to you in a way you don't like, but IF YOU WERE THE ONE WHO F'D UP IN THE FIRST PLACE, then you need to shut up and take it like a man. You can only control YOURSELF.
At least your dad didn't crucify you.
Someone clearly has issues, nothing a good shrink and medication can't fix though.
I got into a few arguments with my parents growing up, who hasn't. But then to come onto an online forum and tell the world what happened, and then asking for people to pray for him, trying to elicit sympathy for acting like a spoiled brat, self inflicted scratched up face and all? Go take your emo ass back to school and get a mans life and stop mooching off your parents.
Number of people posting in this thread who haven't done something incredibly stupid while in an emotionally unbalanced state of mind - 0, and that's myself included.
Look kid, here's the truth - everyone, and I mean EVERYONE does stupid when they're arguing or fighting with eachother at some point in time. It happens. The key is to make a conscious effort in your mind starting this moment to learn from these outbursts. The reason people do the types of things you did is to garner some sympathy and achieve some sort of victim status. By hurting yourself, eliciting sympathy from your friends, girlfriend, and even us strangers on this forum you are basically subconsciously giving yourself victim status to help you feel better. Everyone does it at some point, I was doing that for years (although instead of hurting myself I would play mind games with people). Your first step should be to realize this is what is going on and work to change it. When goes bad just face it and realize that going emotionally ballistic isn't going to help matters. Focus on how to make things right for yourself and your family and not on the negative feelings and you'll start going in the right direction. It's going to take a long time to change this behavior pattern and you're going to screw up several times again in the future while you're working on it, but just stick with it and before long your behavior pattern and mindset will change.
Oh, and next time you get that gay "O hai, let's go get some caffeine!" feeling go to McDonalds instead of Starbucks. Hopefully the trucker in the next booth will hear you whining about your parents to your friends and kick your ass. Plus you big boy allowance will last longer.
or you could become a pornstar
I don't think I ever ran out of the house for a caffeine fix at 2 AM. That was a time I was ready to pass out from ingesting copious amounts of cheap liquor with a Jack-in-the-Box bag full of tacos on my lap.
i usually agree with your positions on a lot of things, but deeply disagree here. Manu's response sums up my thoughts...
Chicken my ass. The dude sounds like a spoiled little brat, and he is ing 20. Plus, from what he's told us, his parents didn't do anything wrong. He took their van without permission (after they had bought him a ing car) and then had tantrum because they got pissed? Give me a break!
and don't even get me started on the whole "scratching his own face" bull .The dude needs to grow the up, QUICK. He's 20, still living with his parents, and he thinks he's en led to . I'm laughing out loud right now.
Scratching ur own face up is ed up period. 20 years old with his friends around scratching up his face to the point it starts to bleed is ed up. His gf has to hold his hands down so he stops scratching his face is ed up. Posting that he did this is ed up. All this because his mommy said not to take the car is ed up.
I wouldn't be surprised if we find out he slit his wrist. I think this mother er is a nut job and probably has no hope to straighten out his life.
Hey MS, just go fix it. Obviously everything got waaay blown out of proportion, everyone said things they didn't mean. I don't think you were being whiny in the OP I just think you were freaked out by how much things escalated. Things happen. I don't have to tell you, you were wrong, you already knew that when you started the thread. So apologize to your parents, and take like an adult whatever it is they are going to dole out. There are no instructions to being a parent, we all just learn as we go and usually just parrot the examples we were given by our parents. So take this as your first parenting example of what NOT to do, and go back and show your parents how mature you are. If you are 20 and still living there, it's because something right is happening on both sides--otherwise you'd have been gone or sent away a couple of years ago! That says a lot about your relationship with your parents, it's worth working on like any other relationship! Good luck
I don't disagree, but if this were the case and the situation were that bad, at 20 years old you're old enough to put on your big-boy pants and get a job and your own place.
*shrugs*
And I do hope everything turns out okay, but I don't think the parents would be out of line at all to rethink the living arrangements if that's how they are being treated, especially while they are still footing the tab.
Sinister's in the wrong here, but everyone s up when they're kids. Maybe not at 20 most of the time, but certainly this kind of isn't uncommon at 16 or 17. I don't like that everyone all of a sudden gets the idea that it's open season to come and insult the guy. Sorry mother ers like jack sommerset come on and start talking about him slitting his wrists? That's not chicken ? It's like the guy's standing on a ledge and assholes are egging him on to jump.
