[QUOTE=Latency;28024675]You know you can always just go to the embassy...[/QUOTE] This is correct actually. But I think you should hang in there if you are doing ok.

Uh. I'm pretty sure shipping your kid off to a dangerous third world country with no aid and as a punishment is considered abusive. He isn't living as a king in India, he is on the streets. He could get killed.

Kill a cow and sell it in a market, earn emone. Show the dead cow to everybody. :smug: all the way i tell you.
As awful as that sounds, it also seem kind of liberating! You've been thrown into the fire of adulthood and you're learning how to survive in that world in an entirely new place, free to build a brand new identity for yourself, and to reflect on the kind of person you truly want to be. I'm certain that, for the moment, this is a very unpleasant experience, but if you look at the bright side of things you might start to be more comfortable with your environment, or even possibly to enjoy and be thankful for the opportunity! Or you might not. Hell, what do I know? From the outside this looks like a grand opportunity to discover yourself, but on the inside it's probably considerably more unpleasant than that.
Learn third world justice and cut your father's nose off.
You are doing what I always wanted, learning solely by myself for myself. You were given a real opportunity here, you may resent your fathers decisions, but later on in life you'll probably want to thank him.
This is why I love the UK and my normal parent.
[QUOTE=fskman;28028804]That's basically everywhere.[/QUOTE] No... You must have not understood what I meant.
Rehabilitation from bad grades? Your father is insane.

good thread OP I enjoyed reading it
Thank your father, by using your indian thug friends to teach him a lesson.
Hailing from an Indian family too, I don't find the situation that surprising at all. Of course it's extreme, but a lot of Indian parents are (mine included). If I could ask, do you come from like a Hindu or Sikh background? Punjabi, Gurjati (sp), something?

I totally don't buy this. I find it hard that you were physically forced to get on a plane to India. I mean at last resort you could have ran to a friend, not gone passively with your father to get in a plane. This is so fake. Maybe if we see a picture of you, with your name on a piece of paper, by an elephant pulling an indian we will believe you.

Boo-fucking hoo. Quit trashing India, you spoiled American brat. I live in NY, my standards are high as fuck, but even I have respect for impoverished nations, and see the beauty of them when I visit them. Granted, I come from no slumdog family, so I can never relate to you, since you actually had to work there, but c'mon, man. It seems that the only reason you find India unbearable is because you made it unbearable. Start looking at the positives, there many hippie/new age/spiritual seekers that would love to go through what you are going. Yeah, they are morons, but they raise a point about developing character and self virtue. Instead of escaping from the prison, you call India, try escaping the prison you daddy calls your lazy, obnoxious attitude. Just because you can get out of India, doesn't mean you learned your lesson.
dude calm down.

[QUOTE=lockdown6;28044607]yeah i call bullshit on this[/QUOTE] Then you don't know how fucking strict parents from a very poor country (or region) can be. They (especially his Father) want the best for you, better than what they had wherever they hail from. They want you to achieve great things in life which is why they push you so hard, and if you screw up they'll make sure you regret it. I went through the same thing when I lived in Philadelphia (although my family moving there fell under different circumstances), although not even close to being as harsh as an Indian slum, it turned into a shithole real fast and things went to hell whenever you turned your head. I would get followed home, go hungry for countless nights, spend hours through the night watching the sky so I wouldn't have to be paranoid all the time, and the almost perpetual gray weather didn't help either.
