tell your old man that your (what ever age you are) and that your not a little kid any more... and that you want to be respected for who you are... not hatted for what you do... and that you also want some privacy.... only works once your a certian age.... and your old enough to make your own desicions.... my dad told me starit up(the deepest convos weve had since he found out i smoked ciggerets) he told me that hes not going to always respect my desions in life... but hes gonna resepect me for who i am and what i accomplish...
