My friend on AIM: "ANNA NO YOU CANT DO THIS" WHO THE HELL IS THAT" "YOU BITCH YOU DIDNT DO THIS IN YOUR HOMEWORK" "THIS IS WHY YOUR SUCH A DUMBASS" and everything else like that
My friend Anna was so distressed she was burning her hand with wax and sniffing pills, so I asked what made her feel bad. she told me it was her dad yelling at her.
Our mutual friend, my best friends mom, cares a lot about her, so I told her. She initially listened but then started getting really defensive and pissed off at me.
She'd say things like "all families have problems". And discipline isnt abuse... or maybe she makes them yell at her. That stuff. My point to her was effective parenting (discipline or punishment or wtf ever you call it) doesnt get taken or felt as abuse. Different things feel different to different people. Abuse is how its perceived or taken by the kid. Right?
Maybe they should just not yell at her if it fucks her up so obviously? Thats all I wanted to say. But she kept getting madder and madder at me.
So, I ask if thats the case or if its just me (or her) and if it is a common occurance, could that be part of what the programs play off of to manipulate and get their methods unquestioned?
The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submission, humility, in a word all the qualities of the canaille.
