Since when did I ever say that my parents "don't care"?
I've taken full responsibility for every short-coming that I've ever had in my life, it's something you do when you grow up (talking of growing up, I'm assuming it's something you've never done seeing as you have to act like a tough guy via the Internet, presumably to make you feel better about yourself by attempting to [and in doing so, failing] belittle others).
I smoke reefer because there are no ****ing reasons whatsoever that it should be illegal, and if there are reasons why it should be, then those same reasons apply to alcohol and smoking (similar reasons, not always the same). I explained and gave a very thorough argument concerning those issues towards my mum, who both understands why I prefer doing it to alcohol, and prefers my doing it as opposed to alcohol.
When my parents found out that I was doing it a few years back during college then they went ape-**** at me (and for smoking; they found out at the same time), I don't **** about when it comes down to honesty). I told them I'd stop smoking weed, and six months later, I did.
My dad smokes. That's not the reason I smoke, but it makes it a hell of a lot harder for them to be pissed at me concerning that.
As for drinking; everyone who drinks has had funny moments similar to the ones I imparted. I don't drink any more because alcohol stopped agreeing with me, and I started getting aggressive when drunk. Hey, does that look like RESPONSIBILITY to you? Sure does to me.
Concerning college; I have no problem admitting I ****ed up my first year due to drug use (although it wasn't heavy use, I sure as hell preferred smoking weed to being in a classroom. Having said that, there isn't a single black mark on my attendance record, so I must've been doing something right. Oh, look, our old friend RESPONSIBILITY has popped up again. Say hi to him, don't be rude).
I ****ed up my second year of college because I was enjoying ragging my then-girlfriend too much to care about revising.
All of that said, I only went to college to enjoy learning about subjects I enjoyed learning about, I never went for the academia, I went because I enjoyed it.
So I don't know what tree you're barking up, but I fully accept what has happened in my life, and place it all at my own feet. But do you know what? I'm happy with the way I am and the way my life turned out. Maybe in a few years I'll turn around and think "I wonder what going to Uni is like?", but until then, I simply couldn't give a toss because I'm one happy mofo.
And yes, my parents are very proud of me. So here, I made this "**** you" especially for you. Make sure you water it twice a day.
