Poll of the Day > Did your Parents ever DENY you from hanging out with Certain PEOPLE???

(+) Yeah! (+)

let's see if anyone here has racist/overly protective parents.

Growing up in a predominantly Mormon neighborhood, I later found out that some friends couldn't play with me because my parents smoked and drank. It was really lame.

I had friends my parents didn't like or trust, but they never denied me hanging out with them.
---

Didn't matter, I played with whoever.
---

I knew people my parents didn't think were all that great, but it was more a case of where I was than who I was with.
---

WHY do all YOUR topics CAPITALIZE RANDOM words?
---

The topic question isn't quite the same as the poll question.
---

No, but a friend of mine in 2nd grade wasn't allowed to be friends with me anymore after his parents found out I was black.
---

Yes but that was due to me and my friend's drug usage

Did your parents ever tell you you couldn't hang out with certain types of people based on race or appearance?

Nope. However back when I were leaving primary school, moving to secondary I had a "friend" of mine back then say to me his mum said we can no longer be friends as I'm a bad influence on him. No idea where she got that idea from but all the way through secondary school I had a 'feud' with him.

Only on two occasions did it become physical. Once in I.T he kept running his mouth showing off so I simply said "wait until class is over and you'll see what happens". He didn't believe me and after class I simply punched him in his face. He didn't say much then. He looked shocked more than anything when I walked away. His 'friend' who he was showing off with said I made him cry. Several months later though I was saying shit to him and he punched me in the face so I guess we are even. Last time I saw him after we left school was when he were working in the Casino near me. We don't have any real issue with each other but don't necessarily care for each other either.

On a side note I find it amusing how once you leave school the idiots who made your school life terrible act like they are your best friend when they see you in a pub/bar. Sure some folk can change and I like some folk more now than I did then but it just seems fake as fuck.

Yes, but replace "certain" with "all".

This is closer to my upbringing. I was the kid that made other parents nervous.

I spent most of my childhood dressed like I'd stepped out of a cyberpunk novel.
