Parents, sigh

<p>Does any of your parents/guardian force you to study abruptly right afterschool and NEVER permit you to hang out with friends, games, or something as simple to surfing the net? I asked my dad if i could play games during weekends, he said Heck NO. </p>

<p>ridiculous...</p>

<p>no. my parents know that i have my own iniative to study....so they don't bother me about (there's no need to).</p>

<p>Yes...parents are evil.</p>

<p>They give you food, put a roof over your head, buy you clothes...</p>

<p>Bunch of snakes.</p>

<p>As long as you get your stuff done, to the point where you're comfortable with it, I think you should be able to hang out. It's actually much better to get your stuff done ASAP, because then you have much less to worry about or deal with. This is coming from a guy who put everything off in high school, but then turned around 180 degrees in college.</p>

<p>If you're parents won't let you go out at all, even when your grades are fine, then you have a problem. </p>

<p>Still, sometimes, you need to do stuff other than your work at specifically scheduled times, so your parents should give you some level of responsibility.</p>

<p>No...I go to boarding school so I never see my parents during school. But last year I was forced to study between 7:30 and 9:30, which kind of sucked, but I'm a senior now so no required study hall. I hated the forced study hall hours.</p>

<p>My parents never associate me with school. They think that I should do what I want with it until I'm content I know the material. Their reasoning is that it's my life and if I want to f**k up now before life even started, go right ahead. I'm glad I chose this path though. :)</p>

<p>no...but i'm pretty crazy. i need my parents for calming influence
Mom: You're going out.
Me: What?!? I have hw, and sat...
Mom: Or else.</p>

<p>no .</p>

<p>no. My parents have their own concerns, careers, etc. But that sounds pretty rough.</p>

<p>um u have to take many factors into consideration, are ure parents immigrants who sacrificed their lives to come here so u could have a better future? if so, keep that in ure mind at all times. Maybe they are counting on u to be successful because ure the only successful things in their lives?</p>

<p>amen to that.</p>

<p>My parents don't really force me to study, but my best friend's parents do. She NEVER seems to be able to hang out because her mom makes her do homework and study for the SAT. Even on Friday afternoons. She's always stressed out, and I feel really bad for her.</p>

<p>I USED to be forced to do that, but I have a tendency to butt heads with people very easily, and in the end, they half gave up, so I can do what I want. HOWEVER, I am also the type to be really hard on themselves, hence why I get annoyed when they try and tell me what to do. I can take care of my own academics, kthxbai.</p>
