Tips for dealing with troublesome parents..

Been getting progressively faster and faster on my dervish of late, breaking 50/kmh for the first time the other day. Now I want a more speed orientated board so i dont die but my parents are snaking me on the deal, calling it irresponsible and reckless. I'm 17, so not a little kid anymore and always wear helmet, pads and gloves. What can i do to sway them? Any statistics or anything i can throw at them?

 

Cheers Chaps

Tips to deal with troublesome parents? Stab them in the face till they stop being troublesome.

Haha, I didn't say it couldn't be done, just make shit a whole lot harder.  I wouldn't chose a harder way just to be a man. (Not implying that's why you did it.) Unless you don't actually need school to get where you are going that is... then I agree.

 

I can tell you that I would not be on the same career path as I am today if I had quit school, but each to their own.

Pathetic. I left school and parental home when I was 16, got a job and a place to live off my own back. Then I put myself through university with my own money that I worked for. Pah! the youth of today.....

It's pretty hard to move out if you are still in school, or trying to go to uni and still make money to pay rent (unless you have centerlink)
