I just saw something that made me so angry, holy. The following is taken from my friend Stef's blog:


I just had the law layed down for me. So here's the law, spread the word...

1. I must be home by 5pm on schoolnights

2. freetime from 5pm to 7pm, no internet, only phone and tv

3. from 7pm-11pm must be studying or doing homework, no talking to freinds, no computer, no phone calls

4. on weekends, only allowed out 2 nights, other night, must stay home and study and do homework

5. no internet access until all subjects have an 80%

Alright, so I know it's not my place to say anything here really. But holy, I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels a little for poor Steff here. I mean, it's important to get good grades I know, but don't you think the parents here are taking it a bit too far? I'm not saying my parents are totally perfect or anything, if anything I wish my parents had a bit MORE control over me, but seriously, parents do this and wonder why their kids are depressed and commit suicide. It just seems to me like another example of parents treating kids like slaves in order to get them to acheive what they never could, or keeping up the family tradition or something. For god's sake, if you'd start treating your kids like equals I'm sure they would probably be much more respectful and try harder to be better. I know that's what happened to me....

Ok, i'm done, back to your lives civilians...
