Parents

So, what's up non-existant people?

Although there is no one reading this, I will continue to write under the false assumption that someday, somewhere someone will read this.

Today I have something to write about parents, in general. I think they can be broken up into 3 categories:

The first category of parents is alot more frequent then the average whiny teen is willing to admit. These are parents who care about you, genuinely try to do the right thing for you and give you the things you need. They can generally be found making you dinner or yelling at you for getting bad grades or not coming home before curfew. The kids who have these parents can generally be found complaining about being yelled at, but parents who yell at you for not doing something that will make you a better person are good parents, and eventually all the whiny teenagers will realize this and will grow up to be a kind of friend to their parents and all will be well.

The second category of parents is the neglectful, abusive kind. This is the kind where the children have legitamate complaints and everyone will sympathize with them. They can usually get help or support because when you haven't been fed in 3 days or you are covered in bruises you can generally find people to help. It sucks for these people, but they get help, or they can if they choose.

The third kind of parent is the one who will give you the things you need in a physical way, like, they buy food, but what makes these parents different from the category 1 parents is that these ones will generally not give you a curfew, won't care about your grades, and won't cook dinner for you. This type of parent sucks. My assumption is that people with this type of parent don't complain and whine the way the catergory 1 kids do. It's easy to whine about your mom yelling that you need better grades, but it's not as easy to tell everyone that your parents say they hate you on a daily basis. People can't generally empathize with this, so they learn very fast not to bring it up so they don't get pegged as 'that emo kid.' There is no sympathy for there kids, and I feel bad for them.
