    I wish I was that brave and stubborn as a child. Threatening to kick me outside or take me to the bad parts of town was one of my parents favorite fear tactics. And it worked.

      I was once thrown out of class. I decided to take it literally and went outside and swinged away to my fullest. After some time it got lonely and I went back to the class. I think it was best for us all.

      I wasn’t exactly brave or stubborn, I was vindictive. Once my mother got mad at me and took away my computer. I in turn took the main power breaker from the house.

      Another time she got mad at me and took my car keys… I set an alarm for 3am, went outside and took her car battery. Now I know what you’re thinking “she has your keys, she’ll just use your car”, I also took my car battery. Both were carried about 1/4 mile into the woods that surrounded our home. Next day she tried to leave for work about the same time I had to start walking to the bus stop for school. Yeah… She was not happy but I got my car keys back!

        If I were her, I would’ve sent your ass to one of those fucked up boys boot camps/living facilities in Wyoming/utah.

        Were you abused or just a spoiled shit?
