HONESTLY, MY DAD IS MORE THAN ITTT!!

I know it has been a while, but I want to thank you for giving me the strength not to just throw it all away. Times have been rough even more so than usual but I always find a reason to keep my head held high. He is one of the reasons. Ever since he stepped foot into my life a lot has changed….

Suicide is just a moment. This is how she described it to me. For just a moment, it doesn’t matter that you’ve got people who love you and the sun is shining and there’s a movie coming out this weekend that you’ve been dying to see. It hits you all of a sudden that nothing is ever going to be okay, ever, and you kind of dare yourself. You pick up a knife and press it gently to your skin, you look out a nineteenth-story window and you think, I could just do it. I could just do it. And most of the time, you look at the height and you get scared, or you think about the poor people on the sidewalk below - what if there are kids coming home from school and they have to spend the rest of their lives trying to forget this terrible thing you’re going to make them see? And the moment’s over. You think about how sad it would’ve been if you never got to see that movie, and you look at your dog and wonder who would’ve taken care of her if you had gone. And you go back to normal. But you keep it there in your mind. Even if you never take yourself up on it, it gives you a kind of comfort to know that the day is yours to choose. You tuck it away in your brain like sour candy tucked in your cheek, and the puckering memory it leaves behind, the rough pleasure of running your tongue over its strange terrain, is exactly the same. The day was hers to choose, and perhaps in that treetop moment when she looked down and saw the yard, the world, her life, spread out below her, perhaps she chose to plunge toward it headlong. Perhaps she saw before her a lifetime of walking on the ruined earth and chose instead a single moment in the air.

Well, to get a really good answer on this one, you would have to tell us the nature of the nagging.

However, I would say in most cases that parents ‘nag’ kids because they want to understand them and be part of their lives, but don’t know exactly how to go about it. They want to have a good relationship with their kids, but they still have to maintain the role of parent so that they can protect kids from harm as well. Sometimes parents nag about chores just to get them done… but there could be a deeper meaning… the need to teach responsibility. Sometimes parents nag with questions about friends and activities because they distrust… but probably more often, they do it because they want to know what is going on with you, and they want you to be safe. Some people just have a tendency to nag… but usually, if you reassure the person that you will get something done, or that you will be safe, and confront the issue directly… then the nagging might at least lessen. You can’t remove a parent’s concern for his child, but if you reassure the parent that you have thought it through, or that you will get it done at a certain time, that is a lot better than not addressing the issue at all. That can only lead to more nagging. :)

PARENTS NAG YOU BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU.

You’d be able to stop the nagging when you move out though. :D When it comes to raising children parents are suppose to give them a set of social skills to carry them into their adult years; but after the age of 18 or 22, which ever comes first, parents need to stay the hell out of their children’s descions when choosing a mate, political, or responsible decisions about their life; as long as the child is taken care of his/her business like responsible adults should. Parents don’t have to like it, but they should respect them as adults when they reach that age, and have the education to succeed in life.
