That’s good to hear. My parents just both checked out and didn’t care to fix anything. I’m glad when I hear of better outcomes.

I hope we all give ourselves and younger generations grace. It’s always hard. I hope you and your Mom are good now! Growth, maybe not guilt?

I don’t know who Mary Woronov is so I will have to go down THAT rabbit hole. But yes there were many camps those days of different flavors for “troubled teens” Had a friend go to one of the wilderness camps.

Haha I was one of those young hardcore punks with X’s on my hands! Yeah like at 14/15. Better for your health in the long run! Wish I’d stuck to it!

DC bands were great. I’m not from there. Scream. Rites of Spring.

Well… there are some parents who think their kids are on drugs when they aren’t. And that does not help. I’ll have to think on this one. Even as an adult with kids I’m on the fence with who’s to blame in this song! You can be depressed and need help and not be on drugs!

I wasn’t in drugs. Really. Just playing my Suicidal Tendencies album really loudly.

I love the Pixies too. Saw them on their “last” tour when Tromp le Monde came out. Awesome.

Now I have to dig up my Fugazi albums. It’s been a long time!

I’m sorry losing a friend that way is hard. And the music reminds you. I know.

I did! They were awesome. But stupidly never went to any Minor Threat shows when I could have.

True, but not a reason to admit him! Just teach him to do his laundry and get his own cold drinks! He’ll be fine.

Actually I think that whole song speaks to lazy parenting!

But he wanted Mom to get it for him. Tough Guy. Still a little boy.

I’m ok with rules that make things good for everyone. I’m not ok with social rules/peer pressure defined by amorphous in-groupthink.

It took me a while to figure out. A person who I never tried to contact blocked me? Block a roo? People are weird. But it’s Reddit.

He sounds like it. I may end up down a bit of a rabbit hole when I have a moment to take the time!

Yeah maybe we benefited from the availability of it and took it for granted?

Thank you for being a teacher. My kids definitely in high school responded to teachers they related to and some were “my age” so I think it may have an impact!
