I dunno parents can be overprotective. The best teacher is experience. Its kind of like you should let your kids fall from the small tree so they don't try to climb a big one. Curfews always fuck me over. I had a midnight curfew for a long time and thats about the time shit starts to wind up. Sometimes I would not go home. Now in days they say be home at one. I kinda just roll in when I want and they're cool with it as long I give them a call before I leave. I haven't had a problem since the last time I went to a kegger. Its strange to deal with them. I can see where their at. Which is I hope this little bastard lives through the night and doesn't end up dead in the ditch or wreck his car or get in trouble with the cops. But on the other hand I like to have a good time. I've been through some fuck up though. One time the Sheriff called us at like 4 in the morning becuase this girl I'd been hanging out with ran away and I was the last one spotted with her. She wanted me to come with and I was like I got it pretty good here. So I dropped her by the payphone in town and went home at like 1:00 am. They were slightly freaked out to say the least. I've got my error margin down quite a bit since then and I've learned alot about people were I might not of doing something else. By the way I'm 17.
