What type of family are you from

[chevy44]

My father wasn't around much, when i was growing up.. My mother is the strongest woman i know, she raised me, but she was so consumed with work and bills, alot I learned from trial and error.. As far as fighting, there is a time and a place for everything.. Through school, i had the rep as a tough kid, not a bully, but i was respected, because i respected everyone no matter who you were.. I was never suspended outside of school.. I didn't concern myself with bozos during school hours, after school was a different story, I was there to learn.. I never wanted to put my mother through any extra bullsh!t that she didn't need.. I never had a curfew.. If i fought, she never found out, period.. It was my decision, and I would never put burden like that on anyone.. It's my responsibility, and no one elses, thats how i thought, and still look at things now.. When i was 17 the last time i spoke to my father before he died, he gave me the whole women, jailtime, education is important speech.. If you go to jail, don't call your mother or me for bail, sit there and learn from your mistake.. Don't get a girl pregnant unless you can take care of the three of you, and never stop learning, education is your most important asset.. That was the last time i spoke to him, 1 month later he passed away unexpectedly..

sounds alot like my life.. except i never had a dad around, my mom would work 3 jobs at a time to pay the bills, and my bro always taught me to do everything i can to help my mom out. we both started working at age 12 and by 16, we were helping w/ bills and we even bought our own cars, we were both more mature than anyone our age. my mom knew that we were responsible so she never had to set any rules or punish us, because we never did anything wrong....or too wrong anyway. as far as fighting, my bro was always getting in fights, but he never provoked one of them.....ever, and my mom knew that so she didnt care much, she was only worried about us getting hurt. but all nall i was brought up in a laid back family (not much of a family: brother, mom and me)

Ok, well i am still with the fam. I was with my father growing up (divorced), he grew up on the streets since the time he was 13. Was in prison by the time he was 23, for 7 years. Getting in fights was not a big deal to him. It was ''As long as you wone'' So basicley i was growing up trying to be in my fathers shoes, trying to be the ''bad ass''. Well that got real old after a few years. After being arrested, charged, and all the other fun stuff thats about the time it got tiring. I guess after you spend the first 15 years of yor life trying to be a bad ass it sticks, even when you are just acting normal. I am always asked why i dont smile, why i dont laugh, and why i always look angry. Even though now i dont try and look a certan way, it just happens. I now live with my mother, looking to go to college and be sumthin. But i wouldent say my mother is the perfect parental figure, so i guess thats why i still feel like its me againts the word.

my family is the craziest and most paranoic one that i bet none of you would believe how crazy they are unless by some misfortune you actually come across them. they are the reason why i live by myself now. we just dont get along. i've defended myself and my physical well-being (and my integrity) numerous times in fights and they always find out because the other kids parents or he himself have tried to get me in legal trouble. fortunately i never start a fight to begin with so....... . however in my family i'm known as the liar or troublemaker and have been told many times how i'm no good and that i'm a disappointment to them.
