See, I just plain don't like the way most parents parent, I hate the way the parents have power over EVERYTHING the kid does, and I've always thought the kids should be allowed to learn the consequences of actions, and not some arbitrary "you do this, mom grounds you" or "if you do that, dad spanks you", because who know if the parent has an actual reason for that if they don't explain it? And then when the kid wants an explaination, they're all "because I SAID so, now go and do what I say". And teachers and parents stop kids from doing what they want, ramming consequences down their throat, "don't don't don't don't don't, this is what happens, this is what happens, this is what happens", but not letting the kid choose for themselves, saying that the "right" choice is the ONLY choice, and pushing kids to do some of that bad stuff just to prove that they CAN, that it IS a choice.

Edit- wow I was slow writing this post. I was replying to MSB's post, and I didn't see ya'lls until I hit the respond button.
