'Romantic' novels

[Grin]

Your mum isn't doing this because she wants to be horrible, Jess. She grew up in a different culture and era, and in her head she probably thinks that she is protecting you.

So cut her some slack

Child abuser parents believe in their own heads they are doing it "for the kids own good", too.

Not to imply that Jess's mom is abusive, but saying she controlling and sheltering because of what is "in her head" or a "different culture and era" doesn't justify it any better.

This just gave me an interesting question.

Jess, it's interesting how your mom won't let you read romance novels but allows you to spend a lot of time on the internet where there is worse stuff to be found.

well all the bad stuff on the internet I always try to avoid. :/

So let me get this straight - You are on the internet all the time and your mum is happy for you to have access to the sickest most depraved porn but dosen't approve of you reading romance novels? Does your mum suffer from severe learning problems of some other kind of serious mental handicap?

 

[Jessica]

No I use the internet for mostly homework...and no I don't look at bad stuff.

Mostly for homework?:24::24::24:

So I guess the endless hours on here when you're not in bed or school are "research"?

 

[Jessica]

I finish most of my homework at school though. so I finish my homework really quickly.

But you told Peter you use the computer for homework when he asked how you managed all your online time.

 

[Jessica]

yes that's when I use it for math.......

Is there a hidden Math section of this forum I don't know about? :24:

 

[Jessica]

no I use an online book version of the text book. I can't fit the textbook in my backpack and it's already too heavy.

Last month we went to Borders' because I had a gift card ($10) and that day we got a chance (Mom, me and Jerry) to go there to use it. Well, at first I had no idea what to buy, but then I wandered over to the books that I loved: the Vampire Diaries, Twilight, and House of Night. Well of course, I wanted to read the Vampire Diaries, the second book, cause I read the first one, so I showed it to Mom. It was under $10. But she didn't approve of it because it was a 'love' novel. I don't understand what she has against love novels. I just like reading books like the Vampire Diaries, but what's wrong with that?

I don't understand. It's just a book. It's like she's preventing me from falling in love or something

She's just worried about you. She probably doesn't want you reading love novels incase it gives you ideas or something. Moms can be over protective sometimes.

Yes, in this particular case it does. We are dealing with a Chinese lady here, for God's sake! Silly comment, Tangerine.:thumbdown

I could really give a fuck what you think of my comment.

A chinese lady has no more right or reason for bad parenting than anyone else.

What type of stereotype are you trying to perpetuate here?

Jess is still a minor and all decisions regarding her upringing rests firmly with her mother. For you to come on here and tell a teenager that her mother is 'controlling and sheltering' is not a wise move.

Besides, who are you to rule that her mother is guilty of bad parenting?

She posts about her situations all the time, seeking feedback. I have every right to express my opinion, and will continue to do so. If she didn't want our 2-cents, she wouldn't mention it. In fact, I would go as far as to say her very being here is a cry for some hope of being accepted as a teenager, and not a child.

Sorry, every decision does NOT rest with her mother. Plenty of other adults have responsibility to positively influence the lives of young people. And from what she's said about her mother... it's pretty clear that she controls not only Jess, but her Father and others as well.

Besides, who are you to rule what is a "wise move?"
