:eek:

On the one hand, now that I'm past my teenage years, this kind of thing is stunning, shocking, and more than a little depraved. Seriously, equating not enough pocket money with child abuse?

On the other hand, I can easily imagine myself wanting something like this back when I was 14.

(Though, to be honest, I think children learning how to defend themselves when their parents want to hit them is not a bad thing.)

Hey, I was 14. Think of how immature I am now, and then take away more than a decade from my maturity. That's me at 14.

I skimmed through the sample chapters he provides. Very poorly written, but I think he's serious. It doesn't have the feel, the polish, of satire.

Obviously i was a more mature 14 year old... :cool: ( :rolleyes: ) self-absorption strikes me as more the just immaturity.

And yeah, after skimming those myself and seeing his twitter page does sound real.

Good grief - some of the stuff I put in my cereal bowl for breakfast has more political acuity than that.

This guy's nineteen? Seriously?

The whole premise of the book is to simply pretend to be good while doing breaking every rule they set behind their back.

Isn't that something everyone learns by age 10?!

Ahahaha, this kid's a perfect candidate for "five across the eye".


I got a better way to 'tame' your parents. DO WHAT THEY FUCKING TELL YOU TO DO BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU BETTER THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELF!

Soliloquy

The sad thing is, if any kid whose parents actually are abusive uses this... well, they're in for more abuse.

General Specific

General Specific

* black text on black background
* links that don't fit the space at the top of the page
* 2 links that go to the same page
* quote rotator that goes so fast you can barely read the quotes
* also causes the page to "jump" at every refresh
* logo is just a jumble of colors
* poor grammar throughout

F, see me after class.

This also indicates that you should have a watch or a control over your emotional outbursts:

you shouldn't go like: OMIGOOOSHHHH! WOW!!! ITS DANIEL CRAIG!!! I JUST LOVE HIM!!! OOOH!

What that indicates in a way is that you are easy prey for a Daniel Craig Lookalike.

You have to show that a new bag, new jeans, a poodle or whatever wouldn't be strong enough to completely make you wobble.

its a justified fear actually.

So you gotta act like a really really high standards girl to the point that you won't react even to your parents.
