My parents sent me to boarding school from 6th grade on. Don't get me wrong, the actual experience at the boarding schools was really fun. I actually had a lot of friends and was fairly popular. The entire male to male dynamic changes when females are not present. There were jocks but they weren't dickheads because there weren't any girls to impress so they were just athletic cool guys. We were bros and we were in it together, even the really beta guys were part of the team. There wasn't really a hierarchy and that was great.

On the other hand. Going from that to college where you're just kind of expected to interact with girls, it doesn't really work too well. Some guys are just naturally sociable. I'm not, I'm okay with other guys but I freeze up with girls. When you grow up around only guys for the entirety of puberty and preteen years, it's not an easy transition. Plus when you introduce girls, that's when Chad feels the need to put on a show and be a dick to impress her. That just didn't happen at the boarding school with the Chads there, they were team players.

I think my parents kind of set me up to fail socially, at least with girls. Also I felt really neglected and abandoned a lot. I was never a troubled kid or anything but my parents sent me off to this place far away and just washed their hands of parenting. What the fuck is that about? They can kiss my ass with the higher learning garbage, they just didn't want to raise me. They weren't there for me in the most important parts of my life.

That impacted me pretty heavily. To this day I do not get along with my parents. I've always felt unloved and unwanted because of them.
>>
>>27373673
That's retarded for you. My parents were kind of the same way with curfews back when I lived in a shitty neighborhood, but we moved to a better one in another town when I was 14, where they let me stay out as long as I wanted as long as I called them every 30 minutes.

Yes, very much so. It's kind of like jail but it's a school. There's a strict schedule and very strict rules you have to follow. It's meant to teach you discipline and all that shit but it's a load. We would always sneak out at night to each other's dorms or whatever. Some of the kids would sneak in cigarettes and drugs and junk food. There was a whole underground business going on there. But yeah it's serious business, they don't fuck around. You will get in trouble for the smallest digressions.

Have you told her? I'm >>27374196
And I told mine about everything they did little by little and they started denying it. Like the pregnant porn, they 'don't remember' that. But the imagery is burned into my retina. They 'never heard me say I was bullied' but I came home multiple times and they asked me about the bruises, at which point I plainly told them. I wasn't allowed to lie so I didn't.
It's the most frustrating shit. Now I'm a NEET and they're surprised I've got (diagnosed) problems. They tell me I'm smart and should be able to get a job. They even suggested I should start my own company, they'd fund. It's their idea, they don't have time they say. I couldn't possibly deal with business interactions now. It's just crazy and it's getting harder to believe they're not just sadists. They're treating me 'kindly' now but they have a few demands that are really problematic for me.

Just to clarify, I dont think they really 'fucked me up', I dont think of myself as a victim, or somehow being sat back by them, I am what I have always been, but their behaviour was really incorrect. And they did do some things right.. I was never really grounded once in my entire life with them, and I think ive only been slapped once or twice, so I had a lot of freedom in that sense

I was raised by a single mother, I was almost never allowed to go out because she always made stay for "helping" around the house on weekends.

From what I've learned about others, friends and threads like this, it always seems like the strict parents end up mentally fucking their child and they're the ones that get into drinking and drugs and crime, while the more open parents who allow their kids to do anything they want generally end up staying inside, because there's no temptation, or they do it once and get over it pretty quickly.

I feel like my Mum gave me too much freedom with computer usage and stuff, so now I have no self-discipline, and often end up spending entire days and nights on 4chan.

I won't blame them ultimately for what I am, but my father did ruin a childhood friendship

went from being friends with a girl to (at his active urging) being platonic dating friends that went to fairs and drive in movies to hating each other's guts, and he had me call her mother to tell her she broke up with me when I was crying and in hindsight he was a fucking bastard to have encouraged such vindictive behavior and I was an idiot for following his sage advice when he was, by his own bragging, a prolific dater who either is a lying sack of self glorifying shit or a fucking trashcan stoner that went around fucking sluts and... fuck I can see him being one of those assholes that is graced with nudes and sends them out to everyone the moment a falling out happens

I fucking hate my father but he has not molded me into a clone of himself, I will never be like that fucking bastard and I'll make him know it every day of his damnable life just by existing and being happy and successful by my own devices.
>>
>>27374752
I felt the same. Almost like you parents wanted you to drink underage and get in trouble and shit because it'd make you a 'normal teen', that sort of stuff? They didn't want a quiet, well behaved child.

They didn't mind if their child was troublesome as long as they were normie and popular. They made me drop a lot of hobbies and pursuits I had at a younger age.

>went through all my possessions and gave them away at random, punish me for writing about them in my "diary", punish me for drawing things that weren't "happy", mock my interests for hours

>not allowed to go to friends' houses or go to sleepovers
>screamed at me and punished me for not making the "right" facial expressions towards them at all times

>etc

I survived the first part of my teen years by dissociating and planning to escape in college. Then father died at 16 and mom became much worse, and the dream died because I had to protect and feed my little siblings, take them to doctor's appointments, work because mom refused to get a job, et cetera.

So I survived by accepting that my mother was The Enemy and devoted myself to making sure my mother didn't hurt my siblings, raising them with a chance to escape.

Now they're functional adults and I'm a 26yo shell of a human. But I won.

Pic related, greentext about my mom.

I literally wasn't allowed to hang out with anyone if I didn't give her a weeks notice, she hadn't met the parents before, didn't know what they parents did for a living, and if she had to drive me.

She would use any excuse to not let me do something with a friend. It got to a point where it was like gee, people don't want to hang out with me when my mom treats them like a criminal before letting me do anything. One time, she even threw away a sketch pad because I'd been doing figure drawing. Which apparently was too risque.

I subsequently never went to a single party in high school. Not even a birthday party. Being a helicopter parent just makes your child leave as soon as they can. It took me years to learn how to interact with people.

Distant, passive father and overly-emotional overprotective mother.

My father worked abroad so rarely was he with me which led me to upbringing without a masculine figure. Also both parents had marital problems which caused my mother to use me as a substitute husband (emotional enmeshment/covert incest) making me extremely codependent for every need of hers.

I don't blame my parents tho.

Yeah pretty much. In my high school years I would always go straight home from school, I absolutely hated doing homework and always had bad grades, but I loved English (im Eastern European so not my native language) and I loved reading about whatever I could find on the internet - history, politics, philosophy and art. I loved Wikipedia. So that would be how id spend my day and when my parents got back from work id have to lie to them that I was out with friends doing normal stuff

There are a few reasons
One being that girls are considered precious in society, so if one has a problem everyone drops their shit to white knight and save the day. Another is the fact that even a teenage girl can find a man to take them in and care for them, how do you think most college girls support themselves? Boyfriend is paying the rent.

And you also have the fact that many single mothers take out their frustrations over failed relationships on their kids. Every time they look at their boy they're reminded of the man that fathered him and they begin to abuse or neglect the boy even if it isn't consciously.

There's tons of other things to avoid. And this is just advice on how to avoid the worst. Not how to make a kid a successful person.
anon nobody owns these posts, do a search on these threads. Format each post consistently and release it yourself. It's very cheap to do and can bring home a lot of bucks for fairly little work

There's only two tips coming from this thread:
1) Berating your child isn't disciplining them.
2) Don't be overprotective.

I can't even hate them since they grew up in much worse, more volatile conditions than I did. at the very least, my brother's kids won't be as fucked up as us since we've been able to learn from the mistakes of all the generations prior to ours

She got pregnant at 16 and in her arrogance thought she could raise a child without a father.

What most women don't understand is while yes, you can probably get us to adulthood as in prevent us killing ourselves or doing something stupid but that's not what raising a child is about. You're not a babysitter, you're cultivating a human being to survive and be independent in this world. You're meant to teach him everything he needs to maximize his success in this world socially and financially. That's the problem with most single mothers, they treat being a mother as being a babysitter and not what it is, being a mother.

You're not a replacement for a father and you never will be. Children on an instinctual level view their mothers and fathers differently. While they will respect their mother, they will never respect her in the same way they do as a father. They don't respect their father more, it's just a different sort of respect. They see you as the nurturer and the father is usually who teaches the kids skills, respect, the way of the world and what to expect from them. He's the one that they will look up to as a role model. For boys, he's the one they will usually take after. For girls, he sets the standard for most mates in her life. Single mothers often fail to deliver on this and coddle their children until adulthood leading to horrible results.

The majority of mothers coddle their children to an extent, that's part of being a mother. The difference between a single mother and a regular mother is regular mothers have the father around to be a counter point to their mother's coddling. If you don't have that then you end up with boys like the ones that inhabit this board.

That said there are also bad fathers. If by chance boys like us make it to fatherhood, we will often fail as fathers as we have been babied by mommy for so long that we don't know what to do. There are also lazy/cruel men but most of the damage in society is arrogant selfish mothers.

As in larger gap between the best (presumably me) and the worst (someone else).
No child left behind philosophy. Bring everyone down to their level. And obviously that attitude killed all my interest in any subject up until college where I got to study what I enjoyed. And by then I didn't even know how to study well.

More specifically I was done with all the low number subtraction and addition exercises and was about 10 into multiplication when I was stopped. It's the most surprising thing to me that they wouldn't object to that. They've been very adamant about making sure I did well in school.

Also wasn't allowed to do my homework at school because it was homework, but that wasn't just me. What a message to teach kids. Put off work and go do fun things instead.

Bump for more stories. It's really interesting to learn about the upbringing of other robots.

My situation was pretty much the opposite. Single mother tried to tell us what to do and we'd say fuck you you dumb bitch and did what we wanted (not a good thing). Besides that she just made me very self conscious by putting me down for being a weird looking kid.

I think thats why most parents known to coddle are single mothers. They want to baby the only male in their life, To make sure he never leaves. My mother is a single mother and she practically begged me not to move out for university.

It's why most people here say that their threats of throwing you out is a lie. It's very unlikely a single mother will throw you out. She needs you too much. In fact, she needs you more than you need her. She may have babied the robot to the point he has little skills in terms of living on their own, but that stuff can be learned. With the mother, once her son is gone, he's gone. She needs him more than he needs her, but he doesn't know that, so she'll use threats of throwing out that she'll never act upon. What she really wants is for you to find a job as soon as possible, so that she can start taking your money.

You'll notice that she only starts the whole "Find a job" thing when she wants money, when she's low on funds, or when she has no job herself. Other than that, it only starts once a step dad enters into their life. Now she has another man, and so she's less lenient on her son.

I find it funny that you call him a "sissy boy" when he's the one willing to admit he's the reason for his own problems while you are the one shifting blame and being a coward.
