    As a kid, I was forced to be independent. I did not like kids from overprotective families because they seemed aloof to the emotional coldness of the world.

    Why? Have you shown them that you make bad choices quite often?

    • I don't show anyone what decisions I make. Unlike others, I keep to myself (save for now, obviously). As a human, I'm like Switzerland while others are too much like the US, for example.

        Now I'm really confused. Are you or are you not talking about "overprotective parents" here? Do you live in a home with "overprotective parents"?
        If not then what exactly is your point? Are you trying to screw some young thing, but her "overprotective parents" are fucking things up for you?

        • I guess my point is that I hate people who are constantly intervening. Overprotective parents fit that theme, so that's why I mentioned them in my monologue.

          On another note, though, I don't care for modern-day parenting styles, as I prefer the way my grandparents parented.

            I couldn't agree more with the absolutely stupid modern day parenting systems. I don't see being made to stand in a corner for a few minutes, as much of a hardship on a kid who spends most of his time alone anyway. I certainly wasn't about to disobey my parents if it meant certain and painful punishment. Neither of my children ever had problems with drugs or the law, because daddy's disapproval (and the resulting action) was much more terrifying to them than a bit of peer pressure.

    Give us some examples of what upsets you in their parenting. Better to have overprotective parents than the ones that pretend you don't exist and neglect you.

    • Except look at all the independence kids foster when they have neglectful parents. I certainly don't approve of leaving your young ones in the car when it's 100 out while you're doing whatever- as I don't like seeing people suffer. But, when it comes to less extreme cases, I am tempted to tell parents to back the fuck off.

    Why? Are you a van owner with some candy to spare?

    Unless you're an angry, rebellious kid with over protective parents yourself who's too young to be here in the first place... otherwise what difference does it make?

      Maybe the OP is like me: old enough to be here, but still resents their parents for an overprotective upbringing. I lost the ability to be spontaneous....

      • Actually my parents (as well as my friends' parents) were just right. It's the fact that not enough parents are like them these days.

        That's understandable, but I guess my beef is with the lack of details.

    • I'm not a creepy van owner nor a kid with helicopter folks. Rather, it's people in general not minding their own business and always intervening in the affairs of others that just annoy the hell out of me.

        Sorry, I think the lack of specifics kinda set me off there.
