Cool Novice ![]() ![]() Posts: 26 |
Hello all! I am 17 and I still live with my parents. And my parents are constantly trying to discourage me, and set me back. And interesting thing is, THEY WANT ME TO SPONSOR THEM THEIR RETIRMENT! Yeh right... First they torture me physically then they ask for money.... Have you been in similiar situation when parents made fun of you? How did you deal with it besides moving out? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Why don't you get upfront with them and give them the old "Chill the fuckout routine" My parents weren't that bad about things since being athletic in my faimly was always a must. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Why don't you listen to them, believe it or not they know a hell of a lot more than you do. Maybe not about lifting and steroids but about life and spending all your time doing one thing. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

i agreee with bigjay, my parents like the fact i hit it hard. better than hitting any other drugs ya know. they didn't like it when i was doing the recreational drugs. i kicked that, and hit it as hard as i can. they tell me to chill out every once in awhile, and when i'm on the juice, and eating protein all day long, my mom thinks it's the protein that gives me that temper every once and awhile.. ahahah. so i let her keep thinking that. i'm 18 now. as you get older, they can't keep treatin you younger. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

yep- they are your parents and yes its hard but no need to argue you will only do harm not good. They care about your well-being, they just dont know the facts of lifting, if you are juicin at 17 I wouldnt go for that if I had a son and he was hittin it at 17. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

As long as you are not neglecting other aspects of your life (i.e, doing bad in school) I don't see why they should have issues with your bodybuilding. They are probably just afraid that you are getting your priorities screwed up and will end up living in a van down by the river. Just ignore their comments and live your life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Stand up for your self. You are 17, going on 18. Tell them to fuck off, you WILL DECIDE when, how and what you eat. You decide when you shit, when you bathe, when you jack off. You can make the hard choice about what to eat and when to workout. IF they want to parent you, great, tell them to get out of your daily body function activities. Hell, I would say, Mom since you are so concerned about my eating habits, I will let you know about my shit, piss and cum habits as well. I will give you a detiled rundown on all those activites every day. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

They're your parents. Its their house. When you pay rent or move out - then you can talk. (SAorry, I dont have kids, but it really gets me when anyone ages 15-20 starts whining about what their parents do. Hey, if you dont like it, leave. Or better yet - start paying rent, and start acting like an adult, then you can talk. Most parents who appear to limit what kids can do are showing concern in the own way - that much better than parents who dont give a rats ass, lets the kids stay out all hours, do whetever the hell drug of the week is out, ..... yeah, thiose are COOL parents!LOL No their not - parenst like that are fuckups). At this stage if you want to be "treated" like an adult - act like one. Don't whine - communicate. If you have real legitimate reasons why you need to do certain things with respect to training, then discuss it with tham AS a resonsible adult. You may be surprised at their reaction. Whatever is happening, it sounds that their motivated by geunine concern based upon their own knowledge. Dont worry about it. Have fun. You natural Test levels are high. Go out. Have a blast. As you get older and older you will get more and more responsibilities ...... so enjoy yourself now while you dont have to answer for much at all. When did this board turn into a 12-step program? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

You miss the point. His parents are not trying to parent him. They are attempting to control his bodily functions. Eating?>??? Since when does a parent tell a 17 yr old what his eating time is, or his fucking bed time. Plz, he has NUTBALL parents. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

i have a few things to say first---OTIS, what drugs are you on man??? second--your parents care but live your own life, but dont do anything too detrimental to them. explain that you could be out doing dirt but instead you are in the gym. third---i have never heard of ANYONE telling there kids they cant have food or protein at night. are you 17 or 7? do you have a problem wetting the bed? DIDNT THINK SO. you have to tell them that trying to hold you back only makes you want to things more so they will just have to trust you and let you do your thing cuz with or without their support you are gonna do it. go about it in a respectful way and they might be cool. i explained gear to my 'rents and now they know all about them. my mom even wants some clenbuterol........uhhhhh i mean CLAMBUTEROL to eat.....hehe later man

Don't tell them anything about roid use. I've always been honest with my folks about everything, and they were pretty understanding. So, I thought I'd be honest with them about my first cycle too (after I finished it). When I went home for Christmas, I told them... BIG MISTAKE. They fucking flipped! Now, all I get is a mini-lecture from them every friggin time I call home. They don't even know anything about steroids except what they see on TV (really fucking relaible). So, my advice to you is... LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH. Good luck. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

NVR 2 big, I'm not on drugs but I am a grown-up, which most of the people here obviously are not. His parents seem a bit overbearing but they also seem to give a shit which is becoming a rare commodity these days. Tell them what they need to know and things will go a lot smoother. Parents should be trying to teach not hang out and get stoned with their kids. "cool" parents more often than not are the ones not doing their job. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Moving out is the best way. As I grew up with over controlling parents, I found no greater joy than to move out of that damn house. Now I live a life of freedom, making my own choices. Yes I still go see them once in a while, but they see all these MUSCLE and have more repect for me. What until your 18 and move the fuck out. ------------------ MustangRacer27 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

If they don't have the knowledge they will remain ignorant; Perhaps you should attempt to teach them THE TRUTH about AS (hopefully they are willing to listen). Good luck... ------------------ [This message has been edited by back2basics (edited February 24, 2001).] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

If your parents think that protein puts you asleep, the LAST thing you should do is try to convince them about the positives of AS. They have an ignorant mentality like many old school parents and no amount of facts will flip their mode of thinking. And they don't let you consume protein at night, WTF!, you're not a child anymore. Wait until you're 18 and get the fuck out of your house or start paying rent. Call your own shots, you are almost a man now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
