[mauriciocruelty]

He comes to visit me & my mom every 2 weeks or so from lousiana, he camed last night with my brother because today my brother is turning 17.
the point is that I have a new hairstyle, & I understand that alot of people are not going to like it, & I thought my dad wouldn't really care as long as I was happy. but no he doesn't work like that its always about his happiness.he called me gay & said I look like a girl because I straightened my hair & spike it up from the back (picture on myspace) WTF was I suppose to say? I just told him that it was my hair & not his. now my brother is using my dad's comments against me! so I got mad & punched him, & all of a sudden IM the bad person.
I really hate my dad cause he just can't accept me the way I already AM.
so yeah I've come to deeps thoughts that sometimes I really do want him dead.
I'm a bad son, but he's a HORRIBLE dad.

In all honesty, I do believe you're blowing it out of proportion.

First off, words and violence are two completely different things.

Your dad said what he did because he's insensitive, and probably close-minded about what styles you indulge in. And as people have mentioned, that's life.

So you weren't gifted with parents that are oblivious to everything except your happiness. Deal. Not a lot of us are. In fact, a lot of us take a lot of criticism from our parents.

It's how you choose to take it and respond. Growing up and maturing entails acquiring the ability to kick out useless criticism and learn from the constructive ones as well as understanding the mentality of the person said criticism is coming from.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't be phased, annoyed, angered, etc. I'm saying that you shouldn't get all hot and bothered over a comment you know was ignorantly crass and rude in the first place.

As for your brother, beat him at his own game. The boy sounds like an ass, so I'm pretty sure there are tons of potentially pwnage insults you can throw at him.
