I've done some really ****ed up **** and my folks never, took any of my stuff. They just told me I can't go outside for a year or use the phone. I just did what they do in jail, eat sleep, workout. (Forget everything else about jail)
There most be something Alex did for his moms to filp out on his ****.

by alex's own admission, he has been in troble before for minor offenses. at 15 i think all of us were a little rebellious and did things to annoy our parents. he has probably been staying out late, not doing what his parents want him to do, need him to do and his mom just snapped. i'm not saying she was right or he was wrong, but i'm sure at 15, he aint the picture perfect child, but then who is at that age? it seems that when alex posts, a little more of the story comes out each time. sorry man, but take your lumps and move on. there is nothing you can do about her selling your stuff. as i said in my earlier post, earn more money, buy more stuff and store it far away from your house and your parents knowledge. you could always call oprah, she loves stuff like this.

so as a minor i'm not only not allowed to own property (except essentials for life), control my path in life, control how i am medically treated, but i can't even permanently screw up my future? wow, i have even less power than i thought... ;)

good to see that things brightened up in the end. I'd be comfortable talking about my problems if i didn't inexplicably break out in tears everytime i think about anything frustrating... :crying: i hate aspergers :rolleyes: i'm still thinking, and my mind is perfectly coherent, but i can't express my feelings because i'm crying, and then i get even more frustrated and cry more... it sucks. at least it doesn't happen very much anymore, and hardly ever at school anymore. at least i'm normal when i'm having fun :bassist:

but this isn't my problems thread.. back on topic... :ninja:

i'd very strongly suggest to get counselling, whatever else happens. to do this, alex's mom must have some sort of psychological issues, and counselling might at least help her and alex get along so this doesn't happen.

Yeah, but at least it sounds like you have a good beginning to a new emo hit.

****ING HELL! YOU AMERICANS ARE BLOODY CRAZY! - SOLD RIGS, SMASHED BASSES?! - SMASH WHOEVER SMASHED YOUR BASS OR JOB FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE!

Seriously though, complain to the cops about the amp though man...how many hours did you have to work for that rig? how many years? Fair enough...nothing wrong with waiting, then blackmail your parents with the cops vs a new/perhaps more powerful rig if they won't budge (come on, they SOLD your property for christs sake...!!!! Threaten to sell some of their stuff and then remove something or smash that priceless vaase in front of them...they probably don't know what its like to have something of theirs sold without their permission, and its gotta be ten times worse when its your PARENTS!)

You obviously haven't read the whole thread. I guarantee you the "cops" will having NOTHING to do with this case. It's a family matter, regardless if it was handled correctly or not. If you REALLY want to piss off a cop, try to use him as some sort of leverage in a family matter.

If you read the thread you'd see that as a (nonemancipated) minor, his parents have the right to sell his gear legally, wether people think its fair or not.

Thanks for shouting the same thing that others have been repeatedly posting...even though it's nonsense.

But then, you're also advocating blackmailing your parents, which just about tells us the quality of your advice anyway.

Yeah I know...the best advice anyone has given right?

REGARDLESS of who it was i'd bloody hit them...hard, if they did that to me.

The other night I did a gig and some tosser kicked my amp over, smashing the home-made 4-way it was plugged into, if he hadn't been ejected from the place I would have smacked his head in for touching MY gear...now the same thing applies when someone sells something without your consent doesn't it?

its a sod he can't do what I've said...reckon you should just ask your dad in a week and try to get him to help ya talk your mum round

Damn you! I was going to call him a douche! grrr.

I think we should all stop offering advice now. It's obvious Alex isn't taking it, and furthermore most of the advice in this thread sucks.

Meh, I consider it.



Hopefully sometime today my mom will talk to me.

And another thing - my mom once did something similarly idiotic. I just remebered this. She took $400 out of my bank account because I did something stupid. I forget what I did. It was like 4th grade. :hmm:

OK I come home from school today and my mom is furious at me. Apparently she got a call from a teacher about something. I'm not really sure what I did yet, but the teacher that called really hates me, so I doubt that I did anything nearly as bad as what he described to her.

So she has me put my SVT 410HLF and B2R in the car, and she takes them to GC and sells them! I mean SELLS THEM. Really cheap too. She took $350 for the 410 and $200 for the B2R! She says she's keeping the money. She's just in an incoherent flurry of fury. I can't even attempt to penetrate her shell of irrationality. I don't know what to do. No I have no rig and a show this weekend. Not to mention that I'm out around 900 bucks.

Your parents ever doing something this crazy?
