[QUOTE=carcarcargo;34640990]Highschool is really not that stressful.[/QUOTE] Yeah? The point in your life where you have to study, pay attention, get good grades, go to SAT classes, choose colleges, decide what you wanna be, juggle human social relations, love, drama, hormones, parents, and perhaps a job, and that isn't stressful? Whether there are more stressful things in life (i know there are) or not, is irrelevant, High school IS stressful, especially for a lot of kids who are having trouble finding out what they want to do in life, which is where such thoughts begin to come about.
Too forgiving parents, take notes.
[QUOTE=Sanius;34641001]high school is incredibly stressful[/QUOTE] No it bloody well isn't, unless you make it stressful any way.
You guys act like she was traumatized, which the follow up Q&A seemed to go against. It seems like you guys are more upset than she was.
[QUOTE=imptastick;34641038]You guys act like she was traumatized, which the follow up Q&A seemed to go against. It seems like you guys are more upset than she was.[/QUOTE] This is a forum revolving around computers, in the video the father shot a laptop. Go figure.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;34641036]No it bloody well isn't, unless you make it stressful any way.[/QUOTE] You're being incredibly dumb. I mean seriously, saying High School isn't stressful, what a fucking joke. Seriously dude, see my post. Perhaps you had it easy in High School, but that doesn't mean everyone did.

It seems like you guys are more upset than she was.[/QUOTE] At some point we stop arguing about the girl and the father, and we argue about the concept and ideas portrayed in the event that occurred, and why such are wrong. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] Things don't have to be about the face value, in fact, things often AREN'T. Life is all about the underlying idea of things, and that's what most arguments are truly about.
[QUOTE=Medevilae;34641105]It isn't. Out in the real world you'll learn what real stress is.[/QUOTE] And that, my dear, is why there's so much stress, children do not have any idea what they're getting into, and that scares the shit out of them.
To be fair, he probably bought her the laptop in the first place.
[QUOTE=squids_eye;34641129]To be fair, he probably bought her the laptop in the first place.[/QUOTE] Probably, but he also gave it to her. Just because I buy my friend a birthday gift that doesn't mean I may take it away (after I give it to him) if I deem him not worthy, can I?
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641121]And that, my dear, is why there's so much stress, children do not have any idea what they're getting into, and that scares the shit out of them.[/QUOTE] And that's why they should learn to talk about shit to people and not fuck around on facebook. If kids these days would open their mouths once in a while to their parents or to the school curator, they wouldn't have to flip their shit so often.

[QUOTE=wakkydude;34635877]Respect has to be earned. If the child doesn't like something she should be allowed to SAY it. It's called free speech.[/QUOTE] Yeah, just totally miss the point then, cool.
People don't like to talk to their parents much, especially a parent so aggressive that at any mention of unhappiness at their parenting, he destroys her favorite possession.

In my experience [b]I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS A FACT[/b] people who had to get a job and buy their own things later are thankful for it, and normally the people who are saying its wrong never really experienced it. I worked for almost everything I had as a teenager, I had chores without pay and I was happy. The week after my 16th birthday I asked if i could apply for a job, my parents agreed as long as I kept my grades up. Because I had to work hard I was and am successful. I pride myself on being self reliant.
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641179]"Boohoo my life is fucking stressful as shit boohoo, feel sorry for me and like this post" Not the best way to solve your problems.[/QUOTE] Who says that's the only thing she does to vent her stress? She likely has friends who she talks to about it, but she just felt like venting to just...people, she wanted to get it out there, it has a liberating feeling that I'm sure you just don't understand, otherwise you'd be more understanding. The fact that her father destroys her stuff for not liking the parenting or whatever, is a sure sign that he's an atrocious parent, and that she likely was not raised to talk to her parents about problems.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641178]People don't like to talk to their parents much, especially a parent so aggressive that at any mention of unhappiness at their parenting, he destroys her favorite possession.[/QUOTE] Something is really fucking wrong in this world if kids don't feel the need to talk to their parents. I bet that the guy in the video loves his daughter to death, but he is just has a different way to discipline her, because he himself had a childhood of not much luxury. The child should see through that, but of course, she's a teenager and a rebellious little shit, so she can't. Her loss basically.

This father method of discipline is destroying her favorite possession with a handgun, not the most gentle of discipline, I tell you what. Teenagers are rebellious by nature, and you calling them little shits for it is extremely fucking stupid, its always been this way, since the dawn of man up to the invention of the iPhone, nothing has changed, only the mode in which it is conveyed.

You essentially know dick about the context of this situation, just like everyone else, and everyone jumping to conclusions about the dad or the daughter are just as bad as eachother. We have no proof the kid is Satan, and we have no proof the dad is Hitler, so this entire argument is pretty stupid

She probably was talking to her friends like: "like, seriously, my life is so stressful, because my father is a huge douche who wants me to MAKE MY OWN BED and CLEAN UP MY ROOM. I go to school and shit, like what the hell, what is he thinking? I'm not a machine!" and her friend possibly reply something like: "Yeah, what an asshole! Oh god, you should SUE HIM!" Kids talking to other kids isn't really solving the REAL problem. It's just gives the kid an image that she's right and her father is wrong, because all her friends are on her side and backs her up. In her friends eyes, her father is just as much of an asshole.
This is helpful for her, if she learns that hard work comes out of putting your mind into the work and not just expecting people to reward you for it she will come far in life.

What matters is how he shows it. Many rapists love their victims in a very deranged way. Are you saying the victims should just see through that?

[QUOTE=Clementine;34641178]People don't like to talk to their parents much, especially a parent so aggressive that at any mention of unhappiness at their parenting, he destroys her favorite possession.[/QUOTE] That wasn't just "any mention" though, she straight up insulted her parents for making her do simple shit like sweep a floor or two, and actually clean up after herself. Simple things that do not take any time at all to do. Shit, doing her laundry is the longest task, and that is as simple as throwing clothes into a machine and leaving it to wash. She doesn't have to sit outside with the washboard scrubbing her clothes exactly does she? She deserved to be punished, destroying her laptop seems quite fitting actually. Maybe it would get her to stop wasting time on Facebook, and realise that maybe her chores aren't that hard? Juggling high school, chores and a social life is not hard unless you're the kind of student who studies every waking hour. And even then, there's only so much you actually need to study that she would still have free time. He father doesn't seem aggressive at all. Throughout the entire video he remained mostly composed, and spoke very calmly (with the exception of the bits that were insulting him). Even when shooting the laptop, he was calm. He handled it really well. He mentioned in the Q&A they have tried talking to her, grounding her and so forth to no avail. She still continued to be disrespectful for no real reason. Fuck, he willingly spends money on her to provide luxuries like a laptop, fixes it for her, considers buying more luxuries like phones for her, just for that kind of shit to happen behind his back? He has all the right in the world to be angry. Basically, stop going against popular opinion and white-knighting the "victim" every time you can. It doesn't provide good arguments, it just makes you look like a fool. Especially when the "victim" is obviously in the wrong here.
[QUOTE=Nannak;34638907]This (the very act of the father shooting his daughter's labtop) is a pure example of patriarchal barbarity.[/QUOTE] and you're fucking stupid. If my son would do that, he is still fucked. So, you're trying the sexism angle now because you morons are running out of ammo?
[QUOTE=SNNS-SEAN;34641363]And you wouldn't be upset if you were to discover someone talking about you behind your back that way? Get real.[/QUOTE] Shit happens, fix the problem by talking to them, and in effect, making friends with them, let them see who you really are and let them like you. Don't fucking shoot their laptop lol, I wouldn't do that dude what.
