My parents forced me to walk everyday to school and back to ensure I wouldn't grow up to be a lazy fatass. It worked, only I'm still lazy.

Dude, I've RUN to my school when I felt like it. It's 4 miles away, and I could run back home if I wanted to.
(I love my cross-country bragging rights.) But seriously, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we all started walking again.

Just think, when you have kids, you can say "When I was your age we had to wear actual underwear and pants or we'd get surprise buttsex. So no more mini-skirts for you."

That seriously made my day.

Anyway, you've got to respect your parents and deal with it. I'm only 16, and even found myself saying to littler kids, "You know, a few years ago..." That's how it all starts. We'll all be saying it before we know it!

I'm my age. And I take a one hour bus ride to school and a one hour bus ride home everyday. I spend most of it playing World of Goo now :)

First of all, 15 miles is unreal, since you would have get up at least 3 hours earlier, and the last time that has ever happened was probably like 80 years ago if you were black, and your parents chose to live right next to a white only school thats far as hell away from a black only school. And it would be your grandparents saying that.

Lmao, everyone is telling me to stop bitching. You guys take this WAY too seriously! I'm not speaking for myself, but the majority of teens. I don't care if I don't have my phone, nor do I text at all.

Also, "Has any of your parents ever given you this speech when you were younger or some variant? God it annoyed me to no end."

It's all PAST TENSE, YOU FOOLS! I don't complain anymore.

Uphill both ways!

Yes, I've heard this plenty of times. I also hear about they didn't use catcher's pads in softball and baseball, and all the scar tissue from getting sliced up from metal cleats, and the time my dad played an entire basketball season with hooping cough, and how he'd break fingers and toes and play, let alone not even notice, and how he'd spend time shoveling coal to keep himself warm.

The list goes on and on.

Your gonna complain?!

Yeah yeah, but mom and dad, I'd say, you weren't as stressed as us kids today. You didn't have to worry about pedophiles,

Lol, pedophiles have been around since the beggining of time.

texting prices,

Who's paying for it? Not me.

internet-bullies,

Wow... I'm so sorry for you. Back then, there were no internet bullies who hurt your feelings. There were real bullies who either you gave up to or fought. Your such a pussy.

sex scndals in schools

Your are very unknowledgeable.

and a whole bunch of other stuff.

That's all you have. You are a weak kid.


Strychnine and cyanide. A healthy part of this complete breakfast.

Well this brings many thoughts to mind. Yes i did cop all the, "When i was your age" taunts but the worst thing now is, i'm 41 and do the same sort of thing (quite ashamedly) to my 19 yr old daughter. Ugh! Q. What have i become. A. My parents, how tragic.
