This guy acted like a control freak. That's now how you should deal with your children especially through adolescence (a period kids always go rebellious and try to get independent, and it's a normal phase). He shouldn't have snapped. Oh and this: So you can replace it with what? You want to teach kids it's OK to talk back to parents as long as they have the freedom to express themselves. You want to outlaw spankings. You've obviously made it OK for them to be stupid upon graduating high school. You've recently made it illegal for kids to work around any animal that can harm them under the age of 18, to include working in hay lofts, around dogs, or cats, horses, or cattle, etc. (Thanks for that law Obama.. idiot) You won't let them work in a restaurant that serves alcohol until 18 in most states. You won't let them work at ALL until 15 (It was 13 for me, but Dad lied and got me started when I was 12). When are they supposed to learn actual adult stuff exactly? When do they learn responsibility? No kid left behind? Pfft.. EVERY kid left behind! (Dang I'm mad now.. maybe I WILL run for President... no, wife already vetoed that one. I'd really love to though.. really, seriously!) I can in no way agree to this or even relate. He's an overly conservative folk who's too fond of himself and thinks if he got raised in a way that must be the best way. I think there's quite some big differences between the european and american culture about raising children and making them work and all. But this guy was put to work since he was 12 and he's proud and views that as normal? That's a fucking abuse and we evolved to the laws protecting children for a purpose! I don't see how someone could agree to force your child, or anyone's to work at 13. Even 15 is too soon. Let them grow, let them learn, let them experience teen life for christ sake, he'll dozens of years to work his ass off like a slave. And before anyone calls me a hypocrite, yes i know a chunk of the things i daily use is made by children in country where no such regulations exist and they are put to work in miserable conditions for long hours and little payment, under threats. You think i like that? I don't! And trust me, if i would see "made by children forced labor in india" label on any product, i would not buy it! | ||

That's not a loving way to treat your daughter. Snooping on her facebook posts and loading her up with chores and not allowing ANY biteback? Fucking retarded. Any people here who were parented like that, I seriously pity you. Brilliant sum up. I agree completely. I hope this kids leaves her parents and cuts all contact, to start a new free life. | ||

If you are going to rebel, at least learn to sustain yourself. Teenagers forget how much their parents provide in their life. This guy has a point. I for one know that I am lazy and complain to much/ disobey my parents, i don't respect them enough for how much they work/worked and have it a lot easier than they did ( mostly due to the fact that they lived during the communist regime and were born while the country was paying some significant debts... but that is beside the point ) I would NEVER complain about what they do on the fucking internet ( or to my friends ) and i know them well enough to know what i can get away with and what i can't. And i do not need them to "change my dipper" ( aka having a 50 years old guy install basic soft on my 2k $ facebook machine ) Teenagers this days are getting dumber and more parent dependent with each day, i have no problem with the "rebel" teenager that doesn't give a shit about school, is away from home to much, does drugs...etc, its not an attitude that i agree with but it can certainly help you build your personality and you are not bound to be a failure in life ( a lot of "great" persons lived there teenage years like this quite frankly ), however this type of " rebellious in words retarded in actions" drama queen has to go, its the worst "path" one could take as a teenager. The guy in a video is the typical "Tennessee redneck" from the way he acts to the way he looks/speak but he has a good point, he is rational ( expect for shooting the laptop... why the hell would you dot that ... fucking take it away and use it as your own or give it to someone that needs it !!!) and he seems like a hard working, well educated guy. So id say hes a badass and his actions are well intended and sent the message that he wanted them to. Would normally criticize him for having a gun but he lives outside of town so i could see a point of that only benefiting him out there. Edit: just notice the guy has 9million views, im almost sure that the money he will get from the top contributor program of youtube will get him more money than the laptop + bullets that likely got him all the fuzz for the video. | ||

Or they could, ya know, keep it to themselves. Such is the dance of information. Actually there are a number of legal jobs a kid can do. I, for example, refereed Ice Hockey starting at 12 years old and made a pretty penny off of it. Other kids mow lawns and other such jobs. It really comes down to how bad you want the dosh (among other things like location and availabilty of transport, but you have to make do with what ya got.) | ||

If hes spent that much money on her and on her laptop and stuff i think hes got every right to take it away. Maybe not destroy it. But he could have sold it or something or just taken it off her. That might encourage her to start earning her own money. Im only 22 but ive earned money every day since my 13th birthday. And when my son gets old enough ill do the same to him. For all this guys obvious flaws, hes actually a somewhat decent parent. I think more people need to be doing more to encourage teenage kids to start making their own money. Props to you sir for standing up to her | ||

Letting your kid grow up into a whiny, spoiled brat is the worst possible thing you can do to it short of abuse. Also, he missed with the 4th bullet at point blank range XD.

He's overreacting to his teenage daughter having a rebellious stage and acting selfish. A teenage girl thought her parents are unfair? Stop the presses. This is fucking pathetic. | ||

But what my dad never did was what this red neck idiot did lol. He just basically destroyed his own property,while he was making a point of how his daughter doesn't value anything she gets. Besides,anytime I got punished,I did something WRONG(the time I got beat I took the car and wrecked it,think I was like 13.).This girl just wrote a hate latter on her parents as a teenager.Who would have thought something like that happens a? I don't know what things besides this she did but if all that she does is "rebel" against her parents by writing this stuff on facebook,this man is a idiot. So I'm not against punishment,but when you punish your kids in a extreme way,it better be for something good. | ||
