It is definitely something to be proud of but surely if you'd had or currently had a physiological issue, as it's not something you have control of it's not something one can be proud of? Does that make sense? :/

Ya I'm kinda pissed about the psychological problems. Sure, be happy that oh don't have any, they're a pain in the ass but it's not something to be proud of as you don't have any say in it

Exactly, ill admit I have plenty of psychological problems (depression, anxiety etc) but its not something I should be ashamed of just as someone without those problems should feel 'proud' they don't have them. If anything they should feel lucky not to have them, I know I would.

What if he was joking.... Probably not...

Not to be a downer, but aren't these achievements something you are SUPPOSED to do.. I am just saying.

I agree, 79. YDI, OP. You were just looking for compliments.

Oh screw it and go out and have fun OP! Enjoy life to the fullest!

It's also not shameful to have been to the hospital for something serious, because that wouldn't be in your control either. Not unless you were at the hospital for starting a fight or something.

Damn ... I wasn't expecting the dad to tell something like that to you...

especially when those hot steamy rolls are shimmering in butter, gracefully showing their delectable curves.

Ah... this is the response I came here to give...

Exactly. I bet the only reason he said that was to get her to shut up.

She doesn't know about "grass" or "green" she doesn't smoke weed.

Not even remotely!

You suck

Forget just America, any other parent in the world!

Well, I can see the good grades things, but some other nations (like Japan) would be neutral about the sex thing...or at least part of Japan. I guess it just depends on how the parents see sex...

Because it IS fun!

just because someone parties doesn't mean they're a trouble maker
