<p>God, I'm just ****ed off today and I'm sorry if I upset anyone by stereotyping. Basically, my parents refused to let me see a movie yesterday with my friends since it was just past 5 PM and the ticket prices went up by one dollar. I'm not even joking, my parents said it's wrong to pay $6.50 to see a movie when there's an option to see it for $5.50, which I conveniently missed. IT WAS SO EMBARASSING THAT I HAD TO LIE TO MY FRIENDS AND SAY SOMETHING STUPID like my grandma was having a heart attack or something.</p>
<p>Also, to make the situation more frustrating, it's not like my family's in any sort of financial constraint. In fact, just yesterday, my mom went to the mall and bought a $3,000 crystal elephant. That's right...she spent $3,000 on a **<em>ing elephant that does nothing except make her bedroom look pretty. Ahh the unfairness, my parents are willing to spend $3,000 on an inatimate object but refuse to spare an extra dollar for their own son. *tear</em> tear</p>
<p>It's times like this where I wish that I could be financially independent and perhaps be white.:mad::(</p>
<p>One dollar??!!!???!!!!???! 3,000 dollars???!!!??!!!??!
By the way, saying your grandmother was having a heart attack is not believable at all! You should have said something like: I have to attend the funeral of my Mother's friend.</p>
<p>I think your parents just didn't want you to go to the movie and didn't want to have to argue about it, so they gave you that reason. Oh well. It's just a movie.</p>
<p>you don't have to lie to your parents about what you're doing, just about the time and/or cost of the movie.
I've had to do things like that before.</p>
<p>There are several things that you could have done. 1. Taken the elephant hostage. 2. Stolen from your parents, make sure they see you steeling as it increases your street cred and makes them more subservient. 3. Made up a lie about how going out in the day and being out in the sun increases your asthma attacks/ sun strokes, medical problem of which they did not know about. That means expensive medical bills. 4. White families love adopting Asians. 5. Told your friends right over the phone, in front of your parents, how they didn't want to pony up one measly dollar. Embarrass them. When guests come over, walk around half clothed asking your parents if you can have money for clothes--"Can I have money for clothes... JC Penny has a huge sale, I swear this time." 6. Get a job. But why get a job, when you can any of the other--they're a lot funner.</p>
<p>Making up a lie is the best choice. but my parents usually find out because there are very few good places to go here and I can run into a relative anywhere I go, they in turn tell my mom later and ruin all my fun.</p>
<p>usually I say something like "fine then, I'll screw up on the next test! ON PURPOSE!" and then they get worried because of grades. so it's sorta like blackmail :P</p>
