would you do it even if it meant bad consequences from your parents?
you know those moments you're going to do something you've always wanted either on impulse or because you really love it, even if it meant breaking dad or mom's heart or perhaps knowing you're going to get a serious scolding/beatdown/screaming yadda yadda from your parents for doing something you've always wanted, and then
did you regret it later, or was it worth the fight?
I'm getting a very [noticeable] tattoo tomorrow, i already got one not too long ago and my g-ma was like , this is the last time you're gonna do that. it's hadly noticeable. anyways, i'm looking forward to the tattoo and not to them finding out.
have any of you guys been in that situation? and what were the consequences of your actions. 😁

If it breaks their hearts, makes 'em sad, or anything along those lines, no. If it makes 'em angry, depends on what the thing is, and how much I wanna do it.
There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.
yes... Worth it, even if it made both my parents and the police angry...
Errr. Worth it on the moment, now I see it was stupid anyway.

silence like a cancer grows"
It depends on what it is. If it's for something I really love and they'll just get angry or disappointed, then why not. But if it's something that will make them cry, then no. I don't ever want my parents to cry because of me.
Yes. Why would I deny myself happiness just to keep other people happy? You might say that's selfish of me, but it's selfish if you try and stop people from doing what they really want just so you can be happy.
Doing something for the sole reason of making other people unhappy is different though. That's just a dick move.
No, not really, but at the same time, I'm nearing the age where they won't really care even if I did do something they wouldn't agree with. They trust me and know I'm wise enough to make good decisions.
Also, I love my parents. I would never want to do something that would make them disappointed in me.
I would never ever want a tattoo. They just seem really unappealing to me.

And you will murder someone one day, pika. If you're my daughter.
My parents hate me twice over; once for wanting to get a law degree, a second time for wanting to go into politics. My very dreams are anathema to them. So yes, I would do it, and I will do it, regardless.

of course..i don't give a damn what other people think as long as theres reason for me to do it. besides, my parents are too uptight anyway. I don't care what they think at all because their values are different from mine-they're too old fashioned and weird-my mom didn't want me to wear one earring because she thought it meant i was gay. wtf?!

i really dont care about anything my parents have to say. if my parents say not to do it or scolded me for doing it before, it makes me want to do it more. not to piss of my parents, but just to prove to them i can make myself happy. im not the type to care about consequences. to hell with them. if i want to do something, i do it. the police never catch me so what does it matter. my parents dont HAVE to find out. and if it breaks their hearts, thats not my problem. im almost an adult and they should know i can make my own decisions. so what if they dont like them, i never said they have to.

To a certain degree. I already chose to go to a pretty pricey college (which puts a financial burden on my parents, of course it'll be worse to me when I pay back those loans...). I still feel bad about it, but I'm doing the best I can to do well and get that good paying job so my parents didn't waste all that money for nothing.
I don't know if this would give my parents bad consequences but....when I dropped Christianity, I made my mother cry and I just felt like shit, so I lied to her and told her I was a Christian again. Good thing my dad knows nothing about this, or else he would haul me out of Maryland and get me back home.
I don't want them to have to suffer, but it happens...it depends whether what I am doing would be worth it..
I'd done it before.. kinda... runaway from home. Opinions matter. I regret it cause my mom got sick after that. After the storm had passed, i really feel blessed with my life.

Well my parents are pretty lenient and told me to do as many things in my life as possible while I was still young... so in my case it's not easy breaking their hearts and leading them to utter disappointment.
But depending on what it was, if it's something I really believe in or need, then yes I would. But if it's something I can do without, then probably not.

Parents have a special weapon for such cases to make you feel quilty.
"We're not angry, but we are disappointed in you"
Then the next day they'll come again, and say:
"Okay, we're still disappointed in you, but now we're angry too" 😁

I actually can't think of anything I'd do that'd break my parents' heart. When I think of it that way, I might be pretty lucky. Well, except for if I spend all of my money on nothing and got a huge debt, but that ain't something I'd want to do either.
BUT, if I really wanted to do something - and I knew that my parents would be against it - I'd have two choices. Doing it without involving my parents or trying to make them understand why I want to do it.
I'd probably choose the ladder, trying to make them understand, but making it clear to them that I'm not going to change my mind. And then - get the tattoo.
