You fucking kids don't know how lucky you are to have parents that support you skiing. My parents wont let me go to the Queen's Cup in PC.... and I'm 21!! If I go they say they'll yank me outa college. My sponsor is even paying me to go, and I'm only gonna be missing one day of classes that dont even matter!! They're still mad at me for quitting my college tennis team for skiing. It's pretty hard to compete with my brother whos on the Stanford track team...... My parents are so blind to opportunities, its disgusts me.....
2. I'm on scholarship and pay for 90% of my stuff.
3. Done. My parents are not controlling people.
My point is not to be an asshole. What I'm getting at is you need to prove to your parents that you are mature. You need to have a serious talk with your parents. Ask them why they are so controlling. They obviously care about you and try to find what is best for you. You need to let them know that they don't need to hold your hand all the time, and that you want to shoulder some responsibilities by your self.
lol... for some reason, I find this hilarious. Oh yea... maybe it's because you've been bitched into your parents plans for you! Make your OWN life, find what makes you happy, and go do it. Don't just talk about it... actually go out and take a real risk for once in your life. Maybe if more people did this, they would stop posting this stupid shit on NS.
and btw... you sound like a rich little bitch. You obviously "don't fucking know" how to live out in the real world. You'll get eaten alive like all the other suckers... anyways good luck with being rebellious and stuff.... lol
good words. I agree with all of what you have just said... but I still think this girl is acting immaturely(sp?). At best, she should have reckognized this and dealt with it.
i know i realize i am lucky in most of my life and i am gratefull to have parents pay for my college..... i just thought i would bring up this issue cause it seems a lot of people are in the same situation as i am. i did not make this thread to bitch and moan, i just wanted to see what other people in my same situation are doing, thats all.
And just to finish my point... since you are being a complete idiot.
Most kids going into college DO NOT have money to pay for it. Why? Because they've been in school all their life... kids who are responsible and seek a better future for themselves and their families will study hard in school or whatever it is they want to do and eventually after college pursue those careers. If you're telling me that a kid is supposed to have 20k+ a year(I don't know what kind of college we're talking about here) for 4 years at the age of 18-19... then you must be rich bitch.
If your parents have that money, and are not paying from student loans and you are complaining about it... you are a rich bitch.
If they took out a student loan for you, and are paying it off (which can take years, not to mention it's a SHIT LOAD OF MONEY!!!) and you are complaining about one little competition, and this is the ONLY little thing they are asking of you right now... you are a rich little bitch.
Please take a moment and think about how much 20k-40k a year for your childs education can be... This is an investment from them to you. You can be responsible and not waste their money and still be independant at the same time. Good Luck.
If you realized that, then maybe you wouldn't state your initial thread in the way you did and you wouldn't label your thread "Fucking kids dont know". Maybe you would say something like: "I need advice with blah. help".
nO OFFENCE but it sounds like you being a pussy... AS IF youre parents are going to YANK you out of school.. LOL thats a huge load just fucking go to the comp your 21, they cant restrict you

yah i can't go either
i offered to pay for almost all of it
when im 16
because im now working 6 days a week to pay for ski stuff, and car insurence, and car lease payments
you honestly think that they are going to doom their daughter to the streets and a poor socio-economic status because she missed a day of school to ski?
exactly. obviously you're under their control to some extent, but come on. one day of school and they're gonna cut you off? sounds like a whole bunch of hot air, and obviously they think that by blowing all that hot air they can influence you, and obviously.....they can.
I wouldnt be so upset. If your parents are paying for your college, you should respect their descisions and be happy you got college paid for. Which is more important, college and a career for life or one ski competition?
fuck my parents are sooooo stupid and retarded. they blow every situation 20 times outta porpotion, make the bigggest fucking deals over shit, thats not even worth mentioning. my moms some kinda freak, im just simply doing doing some research on courses in college for a co-op assignment and she starts asking me all thiss hit about considering it a job, and im like hell no its just a school assignment, and she practically almost started crying about it because im not taking things seriously or something, whatever its wack.
and pretty much whatever you do on this site someones gunna fucking bitch about it.
yes we all know there are even more unfortunate kids out there who's parents dont pay for any of there kids shit.
but obviously in reality all human beings feel fustrated like this girl did, and i guess she needed to get some of it off her shoulders......a bunch of you are being a bit rediculous.
example: kid whinning about the title as a part of his point towards threadmaker, suggesting she shulda named it something else, like i need advice, well anyone who makes a i need advice thread gets totally ripped to shit, so what the fuck kid!
all you retards need to grow up, relax, not fucking flip out over something on an internet message board.
im 18 my dad hasnt given me any allowence, driven me anywhere or helped me get a job or anything since i've been 14-15 I started fixing computers after school at neighbours houses which eventually landed me a job at a Brokerage as IT Manager during the summer.
I bought all my own ski stuff, my own lift tickets, and anything I needed. last July I moved to Los Angeles after turning 18 and since ive been here I havnt gotten a single penny from my dad.
