You have been warned...
so what's so bad that it requires a prior-warning-necessary level vent-rant?
weeelll...I think the best word for it is immaturity...with sub-definitions of selfishness and spoiled...ness...and stuff...mainly the dim a dozen CRAP you see spewed all over the internet.
first off, yes, I know, I know the type of stuff I'm about to get into has been going on for ever and a day, and will continue to do so until the end of time, I get that, I really do, but sometimes, it just kinda gets to you, ya know?
Need more info before deciding to go forth in this or not? kay, here it is...
Parent-Hate. yep...that's the best way to describe it...
now, I feel must explain a little more of my stance on this before I go forward, especially in this day and age...I do understand that, very, very sadly, a lot of people DO have very relevant and understandable reasons to resent/hate their parents/people in charge of them. I know that in this world, sexual, emotional, mental, and physical abuse, neglect, etc. and so forth, exist, and many people are enduring/have endured that sort of stuff, and a lot come from their parents, the set of people in their lives that in the ideal world, are supposed to love and protect them. It's not with those people that I have a beef with, they have reasons for the feelings and damage they have, and my sincere hope for every one of them is that they all escape those types of monsters and go on to live peaceful, good lives where they won't be hurt anymore.
My issue, is with the ton of snotty, spoiled, selfish, and ungrateful little brats out there that decide on a regular basis that their parents - who do not fall into the abusive/neglectful categories, and are, in fact, just trying to be parents in most cases (i.e. trying their best to do what's best for their kids) - are the most horrible creatures on the planet for a plethora of stupid, petty reasons, and they don't even try to understand where their parents may be coming from when they disagree on something.
Sure, maybe they're all being a**holes in part because their hormones are going nuts at this point in their lives, and therefore they are not quite in their right minds as much as they may think they are (cause we all know that when you're 16, you are ALWAYS everyone else - especially your elders - are wrong...unless they think exactly like you), but I'm sorry, a lot of times, that excuse only goes so far.
Nevermind the fact that these people have brought you into the world, fed you, clothed you, provided and paid for medical care when you were sick/hurt, and generally looked out for you, or at least try to, all that matters is that they're questioning your judgement, or, God forbid, worrying about your well-being, in dating someone too old for you who for all the info you give them could be some sicko fishing for victims in this day and age, or telling you that you need to cut down on texting/using your cell phone because you're running up the phone bill (which, by the way, THEY pay for) therefore, they're monsters that deserve our displays of our hatred for them and their entire generation openly on our various internet profiles and activities.
I saw a topic posted in a guild I was part of on gaia (keyword, WAS, I left after this, it was the last straw, the place seemed to be full of these little brats, as gaia is also full of...causing me to grow increasingly tired of the place save for a few friends I have there.) the thread was asking why parents want their kids to stay "innocent"...gee...I dunno...maybe because they know where sleeping around and being easy can land you? maybe because they know that letting you go out and have whatever, with whoever you want, is like ringing a dinner bell for predators who will use you up and toss you aside? Maybe because they want you to not be cheated out of a childhood or an otherwise special, relatively carefree time in your life by worrying about getting pregnant or wondering how you're going to be a mother or father to a kid when you're still one yourself??
It just disgusts me, it really does...it disgusts me when these kids mercilessly bash people who honestly love and care for them, and if it came down to it would probably give their lives for the same little snots that are treating them like crap.
I think part of the reason is because I know a lot of people, and almost all of them have parents that love them like parents are supposed to and at least try to support them, normally, that should count for something, but I think to a lot of kids nowadays, it doesn't hold as much weight at it should.
so yeah...that's what's been eating at me lately...as mentioned before, this doesn't apply to all kids who claim to hate their parents, some of them are justified in those feelings, some "parents" don't even deserve that title, and really are monsters, and some kids have other issues such as medical conditions, etc. that mess them up, But if you are not one of the later mentioned cases, and your parents are not abusing or exploiting you, if they aren't forcing you to grow up faster than you should (because they're deadbeats, on drugs, alcohol, etc.) if they tell you they love you when you get off the phone with them or write it in your Bday cards and you know they mean it, and they clothe, feed, and take care of you, to the best of their ability, you have nothing to complain about, and those people do not deserve the hatred you seem to harbor for them, freakin' cut them some slack already, like you seem to want everyone to do for you.
...kay...rant over...it's 2am...should go to bed now, but maybe this'll make me sleep better, who knows.
