I got my liscence when I was 16 in October, and my parents didn't let me drive until March for the first time because they didn't want me on the roads when it was snowing. It's even worse when you have a liscence and they wont let you drive.

He created you, fed you, educated you and raised you... and probably worked his fingers to the bone doing so. Now he's a "f-tard" and an "SOB" because he wont cater to your whims and make life easy for you?
Re-evaluate your position in life. One day, your father will not be there... and you will regret the times you selfishly pissed all over the man who made you what you are today.
I'm not being critical because I don't like you or anything like that. Hell, I'm not even being self righteous. I'm simply passing on a little bit of wisdom to you.
You see, I was once just like you. But my father died when I was 18, and now I wish I could take back every assholish thing I did and said and spend just one more day with him, just to let him know how grateful I am for everything he did for me... even if some of those things pissed me off, they made me a better man.

You don't even know how much that applied to me. My father died when I was eight. I wish I could tell him how much he meant to me.
If I had stayed in high school, I can guarentee that I would have had a breakdown of some sort, and it *might* have been violent. I hated traditional schooling with a passion....
edit: I was done with my first semester of calculus before my sophmore year....i would have taken pure electives for my last year or two of highschool if i stayed
Your post shows how little you know about the real world. I think you are being very selfish. You are getting the neccesities of life, a college education, spending money, and just about everything else you need from your parents. Where would you be without them? They have lives too. And it sounds like they are doing a great job of providing for you. (Wish I had it that good). To call your dad a f-tard on a message board is selfish and disrespectful.
WTF is wrong with you? Why are you stereotyping? Im a fvcking Korean and I commute FOUR hours each day in NYC taking the subways from the Bronx to queens. Think before you say something. Only a pinch of Koreans that I know do that and they dont complain about it.
I would suggest to leave your flaming post to yourself damnwiththemasterbationplan whatever thingamajizz
Here's how it went for me:
Me: Dad, I need a car
Dad: No, you don't
Me: Dad, I need some money
Dad: You need to get a job
(days later)
Me: Dad, can I get a ride to work?
Dad: You need to get a car
Me: Dad, I need a car
Dad: No, you don't
Me: Dad, I need some money
Dad: You need to get a job
(days later)
Me: Dad, can I get a ride to work?
Dad: You need to get a car

God, leave it up to ATOT to turn this into a battle of morality
Yah, it's disrespectful what he said about his dad, none of you can point the finger and say you've never called anyone something you didn't mean. The kid can't get a job because his dad wants him @ school yet his dad won't lift a finger to help him get to school. I'm not saying he *should* drive him, but it'd be a nice gesture. Talk to your parents, and say that you're not going through the hassle of trying to find a way back to school. Say that unless they can help you out, you'd rather stay up at school for the weekends. See where it goes...

Yup. You can definitely walk in and open up a passbook savings account with ATM access for yourself, and I'm sure that if you walked in to a bank with mom (since dad is being a f'tard
), you could open up a joint checking account (and they don't even need to print her name on the checks, so you can appear to have your own account to anyone you write a check to.)

Yeah, it's sad that we truly never know what we have until it's gone. It's also sad that we don't recognize the wisdom of our parents until we're much older.
NuclearFusi0n1, I'm not really faulting you here. We've all gone through this period, right about the same age you are now. It's perfectly normal. I'm just trying to give you a heads up that no one gave me... or if they did, it's advice I never heeded. Will you?
What is everybody getting so upset about? I mean, the guy is just obviously upset over something that I would also be frustrated about. I'm not sure I would call him a f-tard but I certainly wouldn't say: "Gee dad, I find it entirely respectable that you have decided not to let me function 100% in school". You NEED a computer for many classes so you can look for things online and just do work in general. What the hell is the difference between him going on a message board to post a rant and going to his friends and calling his dad a jerk?
Oh yeah, I know. You get a ton of message board idiots all over him about how 'Back when I was young, we respected our fathers and we did whatever they said and whatever they wanted all the time so we seemed subservient in every way. You had better respect your father, boy, because he gave you live, feeds you, and gives you an education.'
Yeeeeah. First of all, he didn't say I HATE MY DAD BECAUSE HE DIDNT GIVE ME EVERYTHING I WANTS. This is a valid frustration about bringing some necessary things to school with him. I'm sick of all the 'wise' people on here telling people to respect every single one of their parents' wishes. Here's my advice: ALWAYS respect your parents but don't always be told EVERYTHING you do. And use common sense when you confront them about problems (i.e. 'You said you wouldn't pay for my car, I think you should' is stupid).
On the same token however, let's look at the father side of it. I'm not saying Nuclear doesn't deserve to have a ride but we don't know the whole story here. Maybe his dad just busted his ass doing something all week/end and he wants a break. Maybe he is on vacation. Maybe Nuclear did something that pissed him off and he doesn't feel like going out of his way to providing him with something he feels is unnecessary. Fathers are people too and sometimes they get pissed off. Life sucks, wear a helmet.
Think for yourself. Question authority.

Oh for fsck's sake, few, if any here have said" "'Back when I was young, we respected our fathers and we did whatever they said and whatever they wanted all the time so we seemed subservient in every way. You had better respect your father, boy, because he gave you live, feeds you, and gives you an education.' "
Most of us have admitted to doing the same damn thing he his doing now (I was probably much worse to my father), only to later realize how gawd damn stupid we were. So stop with the activist "question authority" BS and actually read what people are saying
i disagree.
i think at sixteen you are still just a kid and you should be able to depend on your parents.

Who do you think is feeding him, paying for his education, buying his computers, putting a roof over his head...?
Not giving him a ride is not a failure to provide. It sounds to me like the father is trying to help him be more responsible and teaching him to start fending for himself in certain areas.
