kids who have overprotective and overcontrolling parents and know how to lie on the spot vs kids who don’t
YES
If we can be serious for a moment:
This is what overprotective overcontrolling parents teach you to do. They do not teach you restraint, or how to protect yourself, or anything other than how to lie.
We’ve been coming to this confrontation with Dr. Maheswaran for some time, because somewhere along the line, her actions taught Connie that if she discovered a beautiful, fantastic new world, where magic is real and possible and she is strong and independent and a warrior, her parents would take it away from her.
NEVER let your children believe that you are going to take their passions away from them. Never do this. Your children are your responsibility, yes, and you should try to keep them safe, but they are also human beings, and they have a RIGHT to interact with the world. If you use your authority to make them afraid to do so- Or worse, to make them feel like doing so is shameful and they have to lie about it- all you are doing is hurting them and training them to lie.
^^^ THAT RIGHT THERE ^^^^^ THAT IS WHAT I’M REBLOGING THIS FOR
you have to crouch and then press a to do a backflip
for real tho, if you have a hook with a string on it, you can hook onto the chandelier and pull it to you, then you can step on it and swing by onto the room. If you forget to bring the hook with you, you could always just jump down since it isn’t that far. Just hope that the chandelier is strong enough to hold you for a while.
omg my mom just came into my room and told me that I’m spending too much time on the internet so she told me “I’m sorry I have to do this but its for your own good…” and then she proceeded to delete the internet explorer icon from my desk stop I’m laughing so hard I’m gonna piss myself omfg
and the way she said “I just deleted the internet” with a completely straight face just takes the cake holy fuck I can’t breathe
While I sincerely hope that your mom is joking, this only reinforces my belief that a lot of the previous generation just cannot grasp technology, and because they don’t understand it, they think it’s bad.
People are afraid of what they don’t understand and because they refuse to learn how to do it, they never progress. Does it make it okay? No. But at least when the current generation is older, we will be more willing to let progress happen.
