Parents w/ your Friends

Jan 07, 2004 19:23

Well, in gym today, I was talking to my friend and we were going on about parents abd how they are so horrible. Well, she was telling me how here parents forbade her from seeing her best friend. Even she's not clear on the reason why, but the story her parents gave her was that when she and her friend went to a guys house to hang out (his parents were there too) she needed to call home, but she didn't. And the guy's house was only like 4 doors down from her friend's house. Well, they said that that is what pushed them over the edge. So, just out of the blue they were like, "You can't see or talk to her again." Personally I think that is completely wrong. No matter how much control parents think they have over their kid's life, they cannot pick and choose their friends. If they are hanging out with drug addicts and people like that, then yes, they should do something to keep their child from that type of influence. But, to take away their best friend, for no real reason, is just sonething they can't do. And what makes them think that they could really stop you from seeing your best friend. They aren't with us at all times and, I know they may think it, but they really don't know anything that is going on with us. I just think that they have no right to interfere with our friendships unless they have proof that the friend is a truely bad influence (for example: Joanna) LoL, just kidding. You know I love ya, Squishy. Anyway, moral of my story, don't let your parents choose your friends. They don't always know best.
