My dad (Vietnam vet) died when I was 8. My mom didn't try ANYTHING to stop me from being on the computer very well I had to spend 8 hours a day because I didn't know what else to do (still don't besides work). Don't even talk about women just a letdown. Me, a stereotypical niceguy or something and every time someone brushed me off or didn't notice I liked them I would get super upset and I couldn't help it. Well that happened several times. I never left someone in the dirt after using them and I can't stand those people. You'll hear the stories from girls and it seems to affect them. No one taught me how to act around them and I couldn't talk right I always had butterflies in my stomach and just couldn't talk. That's my high school years summed up. Its easier for me to talk to older people or older women because they seem wiser but totally different than these disrespectful girls. I'll just say bike yes you got burnt and yes your parents are a drag and they seem kinda stuck-up (no offense). You need to stand up for yourself I think you're 16 right? 2 years and you can do what you want. I don't know what area you live in but alot of richer communities try to pass the torch that way.
