I'm so angry at my lack of freedom in the land of the free right now.

I feel like I live in a prison. Seriously, I know it's a common teen thing. But most teens don't get their priveleges for the little things taken away for reasons that make as much sense as putting peanut butter in your Ramen Noodles.

Oh, for a second, I thought you got in trouble for doing that (which shouldn't happen). Your parents are pretty ugh at times though; at least mine accept that I'm addicted to the Internet.

I have to ask permission to drink soda, I have to ask permission to go outside. Forget to do the dishes? Phh, forget about your phone and any tv for a while. Oh, and you'll only get them back if you go on a streak of being a perfect little angel who sinned as much as the Prodigal Son himself. Gah, I've never been this mad. Seriously.

That's retarded. You need to have a serious talk with them and set them straight.

But then I wouldn't be a perfect angel and I would be away from here longer.

No, you need to change their thoughts. Sit them down and tell them, "Okay, this isn't working out," and tell them exactly how you feel. It seriously works, but make sure you word it correctly, and they'll give you more leeway.

Dude, I won't tell many people this, but I actually cried when this current punishment first started. I sat down and talked with my Dad, pouring my heart out and everything. When it was all said and done, he said this. Exactly this. "Dude, if you don't hate me sometimes while you're young, I'm not doing my job."

That's the worst parenting philosophy I've ever heard.

Meh. It's a quote based on discipline. But I get discipline. I just think my dad overdoes it. Feels more like obsessive punishment for fear I'll do something especially stupid.

I'd seriously love to have a talk with your dad. We'd see who would win out in the end. I've said so before; I don't let anyone pick on my friends, whether it be family or Internet people.

He's intimidating, too. Like the only person I'm scared of. 6'5, 250 lbs. and still shows signs of being quick to anger. I don't know if you of all people could finish an argument with him without something serious taking place.

Also, on this subject: My parents are contemplating (albeit not really seriously) pulling me off of roleplaying because of recent events, most notably David turning into a girl. I told you I had bad feelings about that.

He might try to attack me, and then I'd be forced to defend myself, but otherwise, I'm cool, calculating, and collected during a debate. Intimidation is simply a ruse that doesn't affect me.

Wait, they actually read our RP? And that's a stupid reason.

No attacky-tacky. He's no criminal. He's just got the classic tough guy you don't want to mess with look. And he may get offended if lectured about parenting style.

They read this? It's only a story, anyways.

To be frank, then that sucks for him.

Or you. Or me, who knows?

Well, they found out about that part because I was talking about it. They, for some reason, think that by my playing female characters, I would begin to act like a girl myself. Which is utterly absurd. David, a male, turning into a girl and doing girly things was how they started thinking about it. So I need to be really careful as to what I do, else I lose all this forever.
