My thing with that,

is if it isnt best for us, its our choices and our mistakes..i love my parents to death, but some of them force their children into things, or despise them because of one thing, and i just think its pathetic..

I don't think parents are trying to keep you shut off..... they just want to do whats best. If u decide to be a painter a poet thats great but you got to have a spare job as a sideline because it doesn't pay well. They don't want you to be a loner because they worried you'll never have a real friend in real life. They're worried if you're not part of the IT crowd what kind of people could you really be hanging out with? Are they good, bad, the people you really should be spending time with. They don't support you because they're just no sure what to think... because in reality it might not be the best thing, but one thing will never change when it comes to parents.... they'll forever love you no matter what, they're only human and they have there own ideals and beliefs, just like they can't change you. You can't change them :/

Good work! I agree.
