"Life Changing Experience", what changed you? Options

[De112]

Aight, So I know we all have had a "Life Changing Experience". I know I have. I've had plenty...But most of the experiences, no one ever tells. No one tells because alot of times it's not always good. This sorta goes back to Brandon's thread, get to know cb, but this goes into it, more depth to this one topic...

I'll start off..

To be honest, I think my dad leaving my Mom and I was the Life Changing Experience that was supposed to happen for a reason. It changes alot of ways I look at life. If my dad had never left my mom, I would have never seen the heart break my mom went through, and it showed me exactly what NOT to be.
Also, my step dad...he had problems with drugs. He would come home late at night, and start fights with my mom. I was 12...13 years old...What was I to do? This happen for a while. Around the time I got 15, I punched him. Broke his nose.
Things were never right after that. So my mom left him. Now it's just me and my mom...But both of these situations have given me alot...shows what NOT to be to a woman...

and it also shows that I have a bad temper from holding all this in =]

Now You.

clint_westwood -- you were getting better with grades...don't let that stuff get to you. Life isn't perfect, someone gets hurt whether it be physical or emotional, but 2 wrongs don't make it right. Don't DEMAND respect, show it some other way. Like me, I show it on the football field. That's how I get my respect. Or show it in humor. Personality. You don't need gangs for backup man...I've had people in my family die from whack crap like that. Why? For no reason. It's not worth it man...and I mean that.
