dang
that blows. tell him not to worry about other peoples opinions
I can’t help it. How am i supposed to figure out how to beat a char that almost no one uses online?
It’s really easy no just not read the messages. 90% of mine I just delete. You cant stop immaturity but you can ignore it.
Btw this goes for everyone, if you can’t survive over hate mail you mght’d as well kill yourself.
Ignore it. No reason to take it seriously.
That sucks. Most responses I get are either: “you must like Power Stone” (I do!) or "you must use turbo (I don’t!) I always laugh at the insults, or at the very least, play with them a little bit before I block them. BTW, online thugs are hilarious. Maybe you can tell him to do the same.
Be glad your parents give a damn about you enough to try to protect you, even when they go too far.
And don’t get to college and ruin your life with drinking and whores and skipping class! And no drugs!
Come to think of it, why aren’t you out mowing the lawn?
LOL hold that shit. Theres a difference between parents protecting and caring about you, and letting you get some free time. I’m pretty sure your just messing aorund but it’s the internet so I really have no idea. I mean video games if anything is one step at least a small one from keeping yourself away from the things you listed above, it’s called having a hobby or passion, any parent who doesn’t let there children do what there passionate about and can’t even support them isn’t a good parent in my book (no offense to anyones parents here who are like that) Anyway yea lol…
Not to totally derail the thread, but…
I was half joking. The world is a difficult and dangerous place once you’re out on your own. My philosophy is: if the kid is being responsible, getting good grades, doing a part time job, doing some out of school activities, and not doing anything particularly illegal, then he deserves some freedom to pursue his own path in life (or hobbies such as fighting games). But I think that right should have to be earned.
That said, everyone’s parenting philosophy is different, and strict parents are a great blessing later in life, because they can instill a sense of discipline, which in turn can mature into a sense of self-discipline. Self-discipline is the #1 key to success in life.
Alright sure, discipline is a very great and strong key in life that everyone should have somewhat. Heres the though, if a parent has child who is, say 16,17,etc, and they have done nothing wrong, and the parent won’t let them go out and capitvate them in the house…well that’s just crazy. Heres how I see it, yes discipline is very important, but its most important that children…no “everyone” lands discipline upon themselves instead of someone else doing it. When parents discipline, and are strict to their children, it is more than likely that as the children get older and the more disciplined they are, the more likely they will dislike that kind of life style and move away from it (this is how spoiled brats come to existence) I have seen, and heard way to many cases where it always come to be. If it wasn’t true that show “Super Nanny” would not even exist. It starts out with the parents, disciplineing their children, the children do not like, they move away from discipline all together. They have children, there mindset is “Oh my parents always disciplined me and were so strict, I want my children to have better.” So they treat them like little angles constantly. Not that theresnothing wrong with that, I’m totally going to do that to my kids, but not a way where your there servent. Discipline is important to land upon yourself, most people have the choice at many points in there life to land discipline upon themselves. I do not think it’s something we need to be brought to, introduced yes, but not exactly experience to the extreme, eventually you will move out, you’ll be on your own, and you won’t have the parents to discipline you when you should be doing something, to ulitmatlely it’s up to you. Also if you don’t have enough experience in the outside world on your own, by the time you move out, how are you going to survive? You parents guidence is gone, this is why it is important for teens to get out on there own. Teens that are trustworthy that is. I’m only 15, my parents are very strict, sometimes I’d say there afraid of me getting coruppted by the outside world, but overall it’s reality, I know I’m not a parent so I don’t have that mindset yet, I know many parents care for their children and want to make sure their safe. But in the end their going to go out their and eventually if captivation in the house is to much, they will get out on their own. These cases aren’t rare we’ve all seen it. This is why discipline either if your teaching it, or landing it upon yourself, has to be used correctly. And many parents today don’t know how to do that. The reflection shows in the children.
Go to your parents with a proposal. Ask: how do I earn the right to have a later curfew? Or how do I earn the right to go to such-n-such fighting tournament? What can I do to demonstrate that I can be trusted?
I’d be curious about their answer.
As for discipline, well, let’s think about what it is. Discipline is the ability to get effort out of yourself when something is hard, foregoing what is easy and quick. You have to have some experience not getting what you want immediately but instead earning it for you to instill that sort of a regime on yourself later in life. As you work on a job, have a family, and try to pursue your education, self-discipline will be essential. My personal experience with too little discipline at home growing up resulted in my flunking out of college when I first went, getting a few STD’s, alienating my friends, becoming an alcoholic… yeah, basically becoming a grade-A fuckup. I had to develop that sense of self-discipline on my own over the next ten years. Eventually I went back to college and double majored, graduating cum laude, but if I’d had a sense of discipline in the begining I wouldn’t have failed so badly and wouldn’t have wasted so many years as an ass-hat.
That said, you do have a point. Kids need to have some real life experience outside of the home. But the experience you get forcing yourself to study, practicing to get better at a sport (or even a fighting game), lifting weights, or learning about a new subject on your own, will be more valuable than most experience you’ll get out at parties, or what have you.
I’ve asked them close to those exact questions before. There for taking me to video games gatherings is, "You need to do something benificail like your brother and sister (who both play soccer btw) instead of sitting infron of a tv. I’ve already gone over with them over a million times, that’s why you play comeptitevly instead of casually all the time just sitting up front of a tv wasting countless hours, competitvely your doing it for more of a reason, and theres factors, possiblities and even some may think a future beheind it. Your challenging yourself by putting yourself out there. As far earning the right for a curefew, I’ve asked them this “What should I or do I need to do to be able to go out on my own” They say (usually my mother) “Why would we put you let you out there in this kind of world, there are sick, corrupted people, and if something happens the blame with be on us.” Of course a lot of that is true “News Flash” this world is fucked up. I’m not the partying type of guy unless it’s a Lan or release party or something, interest in drugs etc, went down the drain, not bragging or anything but that stuff never and will never get to my mind, most friends of mine I dropped because all they cared about was getting laid and taking drugs. This is wh I look for friends in the fighting scene because they have a hobby, I’m not saying they all are clean, but majrity of the ones I know as far as I know aren’t into that kinda stuff. I despise partying and everything, people look down at me for that kinda stuff but whatever. I try to discipline myself as much as possible these days, not always sucessful, but I keep striving at it and won’t give up. And about your experience it’s just how most people…wake up I should say. What I’ve noticed is most people don’t change there life or havent truely lived unless they’ve gone threw some sort of hard time, and once they realized that, that’s when they change there life. Maybe it’s not for everybody but majority. Overall I’m going to keep striving for the out of the life that I whish to have, things that I’d want to do other than get to fighting game gatherings are as simple as, having some alone time walking to my local Barns n Nobles book store to chill out the the cafe to right. Not sneak to my friends house and get stoned. With all the media now day’s shwoing how horrible teenagers are, it affects the adult viewers that eventually begin to think oh there all like that. Which comes back on us being captivated, and no freedom. As ignorant as some young adults are, they volunteer to play these “bad teenager” positions in the media, not realizing that it affects the adult viewers and there peers. Man, it’s just crazy, I probably can go on all day about this but this is just how I feel about this kinda stuff.
You seem to be a good kid, I’m sure you’ll do alright. What if you promised to go out for a sport, never miss practice/games, and in return your parents would let you do more gaming related stuff? Seems fair to me, if that’s what they want from you, eh?
As for teenagers and how they’re portrayed by the media… lol… as parents we probably don’t need to rely too much on media portrayals since we in all likelihood have some experience being teenagers previously ourselves – we do have some vague understanding of what the process is like 
The only problem about that is I fail at sports, dislike sports, and that would take up a lot of time from other things I actually enjoy doing like writing and such. I’m sure parents have somewhat of an understanding of what the process is like without a doubt. But everyones different, and that’s where many people go wrong, they say I know exactly what it’s like when the people are like complete opposites. In a way it’s funny because they’ve been teenagers, many think all go threw pretty much the exact same stuff, but also others take things in different ways than others and things affect others in a different way. For instance if someone came up to me and was like “Dude take this drug its the best or something” and I said “Drugs are stupid no thanks” only for them to reply with “Oh your so fucking lame etc etc” and made fun of me for it, I could take it as totally a lol moment. Where as another teen or even my child could take it as a moment of embarassment and peer pressure, and give in and take the drug. Then I could find myself telling him/her why did you do that?!!? When they’d tell me you’ve never felt like that in that kind of position before and they’d be correct. I give mad props to all parents that can raise there teens properly and keep them under control to the point where the teens happy as well, many things have changed since the last generation and the worlds gotten worse. Maybe the media isn’t the “main” thing being portrayed that affects parents but it is a factor and still has a sort of impact on the viewer. For another example, black people and crimes, someone could see gang related activity on tv and then think all black people do that stuff.
What the god damn fucking hell are you shitheads talking about?
Lulz at the troll not being able to understand what’s going on. People be talking about real shit something beyond a keyboard which I’m guessing is all you see.
/Thread
Heh. Run into that all the time dude. Can’t walk down the street without some lady clutching her purse tighter as I walk by. Do you realize that that shit right there makes me want to scissor kick you? I’m not a violent person by nature, but that crap right there really grinds my gears.
Anyway, about the parents, they aren’t being real civil with you. You don’t like sports, you are more of a writer. If anything, take up something that your school offers little to no activity, or even become a manager. I know for a fact that there is an event in track and field you might be good at. You don’t actually have to be a runner, and track coaches are usually really lenient on event selection. Being a jumper or a thrower is ridiculously fun, and practices aren’t rough. You don’t even have be the best athlete, just do your workout and don’t complain. You might actually find out something about yourself. Also, protip for track meets, they tend to run long so you can at least read, write, or do homework while waiting around. Also, girls run track too 
WE AR REAL MENZ PLZ DU NOT INTERRUP REAL TOK.
You do realize, fuckwit, that you just said that in the biggest flaming thread derail pretty much ever. So not only do we have a retarded topic started by a total moron, we now have several other cosmic-scale nimrods pretending to have the most ridiculous “conversation” about what they amazingly feel is a solid perspective on life, completely oblivious to not only the thread derail but the sheer absurdity of the exchange as well. And now we have another 12 year-old missing the point completely by way of continuing to pretend that this is “real shit” instead of the dumbest fucking thing i have ever seen.
Somebody better archive this shit for anthropology’s sake. Or at least as an epitaph for this section of SRK. Is there anything else to even help out with here, or is it really just down to “Justify me being the 20 billionth Ryu scrub” and threads so destined to go nowhere that this can actually happen without anyone batting an eye?
Although, i suppose it makes an odd sort of sense, online scrubs finally realizing they have absolutely nothing to say about the game and seamlessly segueing into an equally insightful philosophical equivalent of input shortcuts.
Oh yes Im totally 12 and I wasent talking about him I was talking about the 17 yr old who wants to take his game to the next level but can’t. So people were giving him suggestions because its always nice to see someone new to the scene.
P.s. Ryu scrubs aren’t going to go away stop bitching about them and deal with it.
