<p>I love playing in the mud and rain especially, hate the hot days. tennis is cool though, you have … anna kournikova, williams sister . . plenty of other nice girls.</p>

<p>well, lol, they’re foreign doctors . . “sports won’t get you anywhere, stick to the books.” it got kinda tiring asking for a ride after every practice and the yelling and crap at home wasn’t worth it. leah thanks for joining the thread, I felt kinda strange being the only girl on the thread haha.</p>

22

<p>Parents suck at understanding their kids.</p>

23

<p>Yeah but my mom wants me to become like some pro tennis player or something. :o I’m cool with that. </p>

<p>Then my grandmother wants me to really become a doctor. </p>

<p>Although I want to be a doctor b/c I choose to.</p>

<p>Uncle wants me to go into stupid basketball. :frowning: That I will not do!</p>

<p>I wonder why ppl try to push you into crap you already like or don’t like?</p>

24

<p>Ahh–that’s terrible, sarorah!
My dad would be completely fulfilled if my sister or I were good at soccer (he’s played since he was like 11).</p>

<p>It’s kind of weird–everything I’ve done has been completely self-motivated. Compared to a lot of my friends, my parents could care less as to what I do. I get straight As, but they don’t really care. I’m in every club known to man because I have so many interests, but they’ve never really pushed me to join anything. I’m definitely glad that they don’t pressure me or anything, but I’ve had to figure out everything regarding SATs, AP classes, college searching, etc. by myself…</p>

<p>couldn’t have said it better wraider . . and the people that do understand choose not to have children, most of the time. my 2 yr old brother always falls asleep near me on purpose, not my mother, and I don’t think I’ll have any kids. in fact as I type this, he’s asleep on the floor here because i’m in the computer room, not in my mom’s room. Haha. </p>

<p>i couldn’t answer phil, i’m in the same situation. my parents want me to be exactly like them, down to studying habits, and it’s very very irritating. but hey, 1 more year and i’m goooonnnneeeeeeee :)</p>

<p>i’ve been looking forward to college for TOO long now.</p>

<p>leah, you’re so lucky, i think i could be a better person if they left me alone. they add too much uneeded stress I think. i got a huge lecture for being on this site, no joke. While probably around 75% of kids don’t care about college, I get busted for reading a college article.</p>

26

<p>this thread kinda deviated haha . . like every thread.
did you guys know david beckham’s legs are at an estimated 44 million? he’s in the world record book for the most priced body part I think</p>

27

<p>hahah yeahh my parents always yell at me for worrying about getting into college so much–they don’t really understand how competitive it is because my dad just went to state U in the late '70s and my mom went to community college…</p>

28

<p>lol my parents know it’s competitive, but they think that having the top marks is all you need, still, even though it’s more than that. the other day he was saying . . “okay we know that they get into harvard and princeton, but you, you won’t get in. why don’t you pick up a book instead?” </p>

<p>i was like . . "WOW THANKS FOR BEING SUPPORTIVE . . "</p>

<p>thats probably why they can’t enjoy life, picking up too many damn books. haha.</p>

<p>ARGENTINA vs SERBIA-MONTENEGRO. . argentina will win for sure. too bad, i’m part serbian.</p>

<p>

<p>Here’s empirical proof that my parent’s assertion that doctors/businessman will lead better lives than pro athletes is totally misguided.;)</p>

33

<p>That woman looks like she perpetually pouts at people…</p>

34

<p>and that would be bad because?</p>

35

<p>Haha I just don’t know anyone who constantly makes that face.</p>

<p>…it’s probably the collagen.</p>

36

<p>I don’t think anyone here even noticed her face hahaha</p>

37

<p>I think I should go around and pout at people all day.</p>

38

<p>I think #33 is the prettiest</p>

39

<p>Actually, #16s are the best.</p>

<p>Four way. Giggity giggity gig-i-ty.</p>
