<p>Righteous_Vigilante, I see you're aiming for Stanford. Well then, good luck to you, because judging from this, you deserve it. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, Jon's a pretty strange kid. I just hope one of these days he appreciates his father, even if his father is the jerk Jon describes him to be.</p>
<p>ChthonicxCorpus, again, that's just too nice. And again I'll say that I'm impressed by your current stats. </p>
<p>Well, perhaps we should look back on what we were like when we were 13. I mean, it's not that long ago, but people can change so drastically. </p>
<p>He just needs to learn how to cope in more constructive ways. I don't think adults would approve of getting advice from "Internet-people".</p>
<p>so you ought to have unswerving loyalty towards your parents, even if they dont pay attention to you, beat you, sexually harass you, get drunk, etc?</p>
<p>That's not the point, so don't even bring up that argument. His parents seem to have never maltreated him. He's just all antsy about their personal lives.</p>
<p>^easy there champ</p>
<p>sticky situations, but no matter what they are your parents and you should have a certain level of respect for them, after all its becuase of them that you are even here...you may not respect their actions, or their choices in life, but you have to respect the fact that they gave you life</p>
<p>I know. I know. Thanks for calming me down. But Id' hate for this to be another thread in which people go to absurd extremes. The guy seems to be living pretty cozily.</p>
<p>No, you didn't take it over the top at all.....</p>
<p>Thanks Righteous_Vigilante, I could say the same to you.</p>
<p>He never said his parents beat him. I read his thread the other day about how his father was looking at "inappropriate material" and doing things with women. Now I just read this thread. But I didn't come across any child abuse material, Lol. Now if it were child abuse... that's a different story. I s'pose you could call the cops or something. =/</p>
<p>He's just bad-mouthing his dad to other people via the Internet.</p>
<p>think of it this way: i think my parents (dad espically) can be quite the as-sholes sometimes. but you know what, i'm not the only one(actually every teenager views their parents like that). at least i have parents alive and they treat me correctly and well. i talk back to them often , but afterwards we're over it and we go get hammered together or something.</p>
<p>just let him vent- itll make him feel better :)</p>
<p>well sorry, but that's what you seemed to be saying. let it go, really. and jonathan k's not really ranting about his dad or anything. i think he just wants to spill out his thoughts. im sure we've all had ungrateful thoughts towards a parent one time or another. jonathan k needs a journal, that's all.</p>
<p>Personally I'd resort to poetry and the like. But that's just me.</p>
<p>and while you make the argument that jonathan k should appreciate his dad just because he is well provided for financially, well, kids want other stuff too. a warm, affectionate relationship, perhaps, and jonathan k seems to get along eh-eh with his dad.</p>
<p>Perhaps there are some things that Jonny and can do on his part to bring them closer together? And yes, other kids want things as well, but it's not like they'll be willing to get it on a silver platter. I'm talking in terms of tangible novelties, not loving relationships. But that's besides the point.</p>
<p>this thread sure died down.</p>
<p>yeah, but i dont understand why this hasnt gotten moved to the cc cafe and my thread did</p>
<p>Stop making threads about your dad</p>
<p>Y'all are immature. Jonathan K clearly has a valid reason to cast suspicions on his father, if indeed his father is awaiting the grandmother's death for money.</p>
<p>you're over it.</p>
