My fucking annoying parents & an anti-school video

[GamerGurl]

Well whose isn't? It's just, after this whole school bullshit, nothing good has really happened following the GED. My relationship with my parents is still shit. While I was on vacation my mom and dad decided to go into my room and take my Xbox cord and controllers so I wouldn't be able to use it. Get this: my mom said they took it away because I was being disrespectful and I wasn't looking for a job (you'll see why the latter makes no sense later in the thread).

Well I was on vacation and when I left my Xbox was left intact. Nothing was touched. When I left I left without saying a goodbye to neither my mom nor my dad, while I only said my goodbye to my half-asleep sister (this was around 7:45am). Throughout the whole vacation my parents had to learn of how I was feeling to what I was doing through word-of-mouth by my aunt or grandmother, and this was because I refused to talk to them. I just thought that a good time away from them would be a healthy thing and I just was never open to talking to them—and I guess that was one form of me being "disrespectful" because I believe she mentioned something along the lines of this. My grandmother would just ask if I did talk to them while I was there, but my aunt would sometimes bring it up and say what I'm doing isn't right and other similar shit while my uncle would belittle me throughout most of the vacation about my relationship with my parents and my computer usage. The vacation overall was a D-, and the only part I'd rate A+ would be being in my hometown of NYC.

Once I returned I noticed something was wrong with my room and I couldn't pinpoint it until I saw my Xbox area. God, I was so fucking pissed, and I even waited a couple of days too until I asked my mom and dad to give me back my Xbox. My mom would counter me, saying that I needed to get a job when I didn't even have my SSN at the time, and at the same time, was in New Jersey for almost a month vacationing! Total bullshit right there. I didn't get my SSN until February 13th, and I had been here asking for it for approximately 3 weeks until I finally received it. For the time being looking for jobs online has been unsuccessful. Being a 16 yr. old with a GED trying to look for a job has been so difficult because I don't fit even the smallest requirements, while others say you just have to be 18 years or older.

You know, it just makes me so mad that if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I have my SSN, let's say if they knew I was looking for jobs or even had one that my other requirement would be to start respecting them when they're so far off from even getting a measly amount of it! Not only is it disrespectful to me to go into my room and go through my personal belongings, but it's even more disrespectful to take that stuff for things that happened before it could or would even happen! Additionally, my dad has said nasty things behind my back, and being threatened by my own parents to be sent to court just to save their own asses because I refused to go to school is beyond me! Who in the right mind would try and not ask, but even demand respect after all that you've done? Even if you're parents, you EARN the right to respect. You never DEMAND it. Their point of logic and their arguments is beyond me. A lot of the times they know I've been so right about many things and just fallback on this "respect" or "not going to school" arguments just to try and shut me up.

Here's a few things my dad has said about me or did to me:

• "I hope he (referring to his kid, who at the time was still not born) doesn't turn out like him (him being me)."
• "Did he tell her (her being my little sister) not to go to school?" This quote was something very similar along the lines, and he accused me of this because my sister has been missing days recently (most were because she chose not to go).
• He has talked behind my back to my aunt from my mom's side. He has told her things going on with me, but ever since I told him a few months back to stop I'm not sure if he still does this.
• While we were at the court building, my mom and dad found a poster about this military school for me and even got down the number for more information. Luckily they didn't really do anything about it, but when I remembered the name I researched it and it was just a military styled academy and it couldn't be a coerced option.
• My dad would tell me in the past that homeschooling wouldn't happen and just because. Unlike my mother (who at least gave a reason even though it was completely stupid), he would just leave it at: "You're not getting no homeschooling."

I'm sorry for this long rant. I know all I've mostly done here is rant, but I can assure you I'm going to be able to finally contribute to our anti-school cause after this thread. But the point of it is is that respect, no matter who you are or what your relation is to the other, respect is earned and never demanded. If you demand it, it just makes you a downright nasty person who really won't ever have any healthy relationships with anyone with that kind of attitude. Additionally, just going through someone's stuff with no valid reason whatsoever and going so far as to take it is just rude.

As for the anti-school KONY styled video, there are two points I'd like you all to help me out on:

• How can we create an action message that can please the whole, if not, the majority of the anti-school community?
• How are we going to try and convince those on the pro-school to moderate views to support us, including those who've never even thought or had the decency to think about this?

I will need good arguments from you all that I can discuss in this not-to-long video to show pro-schoolers that it's more than just "waking up early for school" or "having homework assigned everyday" or "having to deal with nasty and unthoughtful teachers", etc. It'll show them how serious we are and if the video becomes viral, just imagine how many anti-schoolers can use this forum's resources to their advantage. Once the anti-schooling community becomes prominent, the local, city, and eventually federal government will have no choice but to discuss the issue with the education system and to hopefully try removing the compulsory attendance laws.

The information this website provides and what you all will recommend me to say (or summarize what you say) is crucial to the anti-school effort. Activity on this website may also exponentially increase from the video I'm planning to upload on YouTube, and then we can carry out our plans; such as being able to be represented by millions of students that can lead walkouts, and hopefully protests around important government and school districts about being coerced (and maybe even practically enslaved) to go to school when there are many other options that don't need to be compulsory and can be done during any time of the day.

Tl;dr – Go to the goddamn top of this post and read this shit.
