Ok. I have loved the whole Hippy culture my whole life, and now that im a teenager, im ready to start becoming one. but one thing. my parents. they dont support me in anything i choose, except my choice in music. they think oh its jut a phase, they block me from expressing myself, they dont let me have any kind of freedom of expression at all, its killing me. can someone help?
aaaggghh!!! another damn post like this. but hey ill add some of my two cents. if you really wanna be a hippy just ignore your parents and do whatever you want and love everyone and everything(except george bush). be prepared for alotta flak man
hahhaha... i'm like.. obsessed with viagra. hahahahha... boing.... only I could amuse myself by acting like an idiot.
My best advice is to just to ignore it......be who you want to be....your parents will come around eventually....till then good luck...........keep on livin'....peace and vision...................BUSH BLOWS...haha
hahahaha holy shit thats fuckin funny.....boing!!!! im like laughing really hard. i get easily amused reading most of your posts george lmfao!!! boing!!!!
There's no way that your parents can control your thoughts if you don't let them. Can you de-vague exactly what you're talking about doing? Are you talking about starting dressing like the stereotypical hippie? I'll save you the 'being a hippie isn't all about the clothing, peasant' rant and just skip to the advice. If this is the case, just tell your parents that you just like the styles of that era and your dressing 'like a hippie' in no way signifies your terrible descent into the world of drug fiendship. If I was wrong in my assumption that your talking about clothes, I apologize. Why dontcha tell us exactly what you're talking about doing and why your parents won't let you do it?
the rebellion is internal, brother... start looking inside, first. get a reason to go fighting, if you insist on fighting.
If you really believe in this lifestyle, then go for it and dont let anyone tell you otherwise, because when people force you to become the person they wont you to be, they destroy the person you really are...by the way Jim Morrison said that.
I've no idea quite what you are planning to do but just figure it out and get on with it. I've found that gradual change works best. Introduce a few little random things over a while and they probably won't notice until it's just who you have become. Learn to compromise and stand your ground (at the same time... tough but worthwhile) If they just can't accept something then wait till they aren't around/you've moved out. Don't be sneaky, they will find out and it will blow up in your face. Remember it's what you think and feel that matters. Not how you look what you listen to and that superficial business. The true values can't be crushed, faked or taken away. Hope that helps, good luck TTFN Sage
My advice: They probably think Hippy=drugs, which is natural. I had uptight parents, and I had no freedom whatsoever. They even prohibited me from seeing my best friend. Last summer was my rebellious time. They grounded me time and time again for drugs and leaving the house. I had a plan though, I just kept leaving. Eventually, (after every privlage taking away from me was a useless plan of action,) my mom came to me crying and said, "Fine. You win." Now we have the best relationship! Better than anyone I know! I can even do drugs with them! My mom watched me light up a joint with my friend and didn't care. they are both completely open to my choice of hippy lifestyle! Good luck!
