Parents 2: The Return

Today I am returning to the topic of parents, specifically mine, once again...

Having considered the problem in detail, I have come to the conclusion that the problem is this:

My parents are TOO REASONABLE. They aren't all-controlling, they accept that music audible through the door is ok, they let me do pretty much whatever I want because for some obscure reason they think I'm trustworthy... Sadly, I don't manage to get up to much to damage this preconception... And here lies the problem: how can I rebel and argue with them if they're reasonable all the time?! A combination of 'liberal' parents and an only mildly rebellious teenager means there is little chance for conflict.

THIS IS ANNOYING. I'm left having to resent them for making a justified decision which they believe is in my interest, because they don't ever give me anything else to resent them for! They've even (finally) realised that in arguments/disputes/microcosmical wars with my sisters, I'm not always to blame despite not being the one to scream first... (funny that...) Why don't they realise that in order for a teenager to feel fulfilled and suitably unhealthy, they must have a steady diet of confrontation... otherwise all that potential angst gets wasted!

I am forced to conclude, in fact, that they are highly cunning... being so accepting of any antisocial or rebellious actions (theoretical tattoos/piercings etc) obviously takes the fun out of it... But here I triumph: I shall resent them for not giving me anything to resent them for! And now I shall go and enjoy a mildly alcoholic beverage, eat normal, healthy food (though not so as to be "HEALTH FOOD" - soya pap that it is) and probably converse in a normal manner with the aforementioned parents. I just hope they wont be so annoyingly cunning as to ignore my resentful frown...

And smug grin, of course. :D
