It just makes no sense...

Why do parents seem to force stuff upon their children? Is it because they are jealous of them? Are they trying to live their lives they wish they had, in their children? This blog post isn't really relevant to my life, but it still hits pretty close to home.

The other day, I got a call from a bewildered and distraught friend. They were having huge issues with their parents. It turns out the the parents are forcing something upon this friend that is not fair whatsoever. This thing that is being forced is college. Not college as a whole, but the location in which this person attends college. Now, is it just me, or is this completely wrong? A parent shouldn't just say, "Hey, it's either there, or community college." And not many people go to community college by choice. For the sake of privacy, I won't include any more, but let me tell you, there is a lot more to the story that just makes me extremely angry inside.

But back to the topic of parents, it always seems that there are jocks that suffer from extreme depression and afraid to stop being a jock, all because their parents have forced them to do something they don't want to do. Back to my friend, this friend (if they choose to go to the non-community college location) will most likely not do well, simply because they don't like the environment.

It just makes no sense...

Will it make sense to you?

(sorry for the horrible post, I thought there would be more to build upon with that, but I'm going to post it anyway, because it is still better than nothing...)
