I cannot stand my parents, what can I do?
Hello. I am 14 years old and as the question's title states, I cannot stand my parents anymore. I have been treated like a baby ever since I was one. My parents, especially my mom, feel the need to tell me when to to everything. What time to take a shower, what time to eat supper, what time I have to go to bed, etc. They feel the need to monitor everything I do in my life. They can enter my room at any time they want, according to my dad as long as I live in this house I will not have privacy. My door has no lock and has see-through shutters. I haven't had a friend over or been to a friends house in a year and a half. When I did get to go to a friends house, my mom would call every five minutes. I wasn't even allowed to have a phone until I was 12. My mom is incapable of being "calm" or "chill" whatsoever about anything. She understands nothing. When I try to calmly discuss these issues with her, she always gets very mad at me, yelling and telling me to (to be continued)
2 AnswersFamily7 years agoWill I go to hell for what I've done?
Let me first start off by saying that will always believe in god and accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior.
But, for many reasons, I feel like I'm going to hell. I sin everyday. By masturbation etc. I commit adultery. I don't go to Church. I feel that most churches do not preach the full word of god. The bible says that you cannot add or take away from it, so by churches adding in personal opinions, or not preaching everything within the bible, they're committing sins. But, i'm very confused sometimes. The only bible I go by is the KJV, and not the new one. Sometimes while reading it, it seems as if messages are contradicting themselves. I have cursed God, and called him cruel and unfair, and even said the "G.D" word.
So...will I go to hell for the things I've done? Can I still be forgiven of them? Do I have to be born again to be forgiven and gain access to heaven?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhy are some Atheists and agnostics so bigoted?
I am a Christian, and I'm getting sick of Atheists and agnostics (some, not all or even most) Generalizing that all Christians are idiotic, uneducated, bigoted fools. I'm not a bigot at all, and i'm an honors student. I don't automatically dislike Atheists or Agnostics because of their beliefs, and the same can't be said about their (once again, not ALL atheists or agnostics) attitudes about me. I don't hate homosexuals, I just wish and encourage them to repent. I don't harass people for having beliefs other than mine. I even have an atheist friend IRL. So, why is it that sometimes when I so much as mention God or my savior Jesus Christ, i'm harassed and ridiculed?

1 AnswerSoftware8 years agoI feel like I've wasted my entire youth?
I feel like I have wasted my entire youth. I don't remember having fun as a kid, going to amusement parks, riding rollercoasters, going places, having fun with friends and whatnot. I don't really remember ever having the...fun that everyone else had when they were young. I mean, I'm still "young" now, I'm 13, but...I just feel like a wasted a big part of my life that I was supposed to be having fun in. Still today, I don't have much fun. I don't have a normal social life like most kids. Every best friend I've had, like the kind of friend you invite over alot either abandoned me or turned out to be a total @$$hole. I have some good friends at school but no friends that I hang out with outside of school. I still don't get to do the things that people my age are doing now. I sit here in my own misery, thinking about what I could've been doing when I was a kid and, sometimes, what I could be doing now.
What can I do? I mean, I know I can't invent a time machine and go back and change my life, but, is there anything I can do now?
9 AnswersSociology8 years agoDecent alternative to DayZ?
I would love to be able to play DayZ, but 1.) I can't afford it and 2.) My computer isn't good enough to run Arma 2. I know about Dynamic Zombie Sandbox, but i've tried it on Arma 2 Free, and it's slow as molasses in Janruary for my computer. I can't afford a better computer or better graphics card or anything.
So... are there any Non Arma 2 Alternatives to DayZ? It doesn't have to be as realistic as DayZ. Not nearly as realistic. Just fairly realistic and fun to play.

2 AnswersVideo & Online Games9 years agoDoes this make me a horrible person?
Does it make me a horrible person if I truly believe that rapists, Murderers, and child abusers should meet their end via a tall tree and a short rope, with law abiding American citizens to watch the process? In other words, hanging. That way, us taxpayers wouldn't have to pay to keep the worthless disgusting pieces of crap in a jail cells. Who wouldn't want to watch a serial killer or child rapist hang? I know it sounds unreasonable and old fashoned, but I believe it would work' AND it would take away from taxes.
4 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police9 years agoHigh quality but affordable acoustic guitar?
I have been playing guitar for about 5 months now,so I am well past the absolute beginner stage and I have started playing more complicated things. I have been playing on a Johnson JG-620, a cheap-o but fairly decent guitar. However, it is completely laminated. I am looking for a high quality yet affordable acoustic guitar, with a dreadnaught body shape and preferably a solid top, not laminate (a.k.a "select") top. My budget is up to 300 dollars, no more. Any suggestions? And PLEASE don't say "just go to musicians friend and look for one".

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games9 years agoQuestion about gun forums?
Is there any gun forums that DON'T have idiots that tell you that any gun below 800 freaking dollars is a piece of crap? Im tired of asking for a good "budget" rifle or pistol or shotgun or what ever and trolls telling me that they are "cheap pieces of crap" or "jam o matics" or "door stoppers" while they probably have no idea what they are talking about and just make up stories about them to persueade people into buying guns way out of their original price? So are there any gun forums that have HELPFUL, SENSIBLE moderaters and members? DON'T say thehighroad, EVERYONE on there is like what I just described.
7 AnswersHunting9 years agoGood Budget Airsoft AEG?
I'm looking for a decent Airsoft AEG, but i'm on a budget (let's say about 90 bucks max). It doesnt have to be the highest quality in the world, but it needs to surpass most cheap springers that break easily and shoot low fps. Any style of Assault Rifle or SMG will do. It needs to be reliable, have a high cap mag, and decent power range and accuracy.
1 AnswerOther - Outdoor Recreation9 years agoWhich electric guitar should I choose?
I'm a beginner at guitar, and ive been playing acoustic for a while now,and i have wanted an acoustic for a long time. I'm on a very tight budget, so I don't need a top of the line guitar. So, the two guitars I am looking at are the Epiphone Les Paul Special 2 and the squier HSS strat. I like the tone and sound of Les pauls but the versatility and playability of the Les Paul. The HSS Strat is, from what i've heard, one of the better squires, and it has a humbucker in the bridge, so will I be able to make it sound somewhat like a Les Paul? Which guitar should I choose? Oh, yeah and I already picked a good practice amp.

2 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoHelp deciding on first electric guitar?
I have been playing acoustic for a while now, and i've learned some of my basics, but I have been wanting an electric guitar for a long time now. So, which should I pick, The Epiphone Les Paul Special 2, or the Ibanez GRX20? I have looked into both of them, and love every feature of both of them, so i'm kinda stuck on deciding which one to get. I will NOT get a Squire Strat, they arent right for my style of music. Please don't post answers saying "neither, get this instead". And I won't buy a guitar more expensive than those two I mentioned. I might also add that i will be getting a roland micro cube with whatever guitar I get. Please help me decide.
