yeah that does blow, especially seeing how your 17. However, those are the kinds of things that make our parents our parents you know. I dont know anything about you or your dad, my mother never cared what i listend to,watched or read, as long as i did so with an open mind, but she stil had her motherly ways of trying to not let me expeirence rap and extreme death metal for a wasted two years of my life. she knew it was senseless,but tried to get me to refrain.I still did so as i matured i realized that i shouldnt have wasted my time, but then again would i have learned? would i have been that more appreciative of her for atleast trying to,when she knew there was no damn way that it was going to change my mind? Maybe i really liked the stuff, but she still tried.
