Your “amen” would fall on pretty deaf ears. Hawking was an atheist. Not that that should stop you from believing, or saying the things that match up with what you believe in, I’m just pointing it out.

Stephen Hawking did not “pass”. He died. He is dead.

Wasn’t quite prepared for the ... bounce.

I’m gonna go with targeting a market that is now saturated with small sleek tech devices vs. marketing to kids.

Weed is not a “gateway drug.” It’s not addictive, it doesn’t cause you to move to harder drugs, and it’s way less harmful than alcohol. Don’t buy into the DARE shit.

I’m trying to post this in a concise form: your kid is in an incredibly vulnerable place right now. You are right to worry about him doing things for approval from his peers/you. The replies where they’re pointing out that you’ve ruined his high school social life? They’re right too. What he needs right now is outside…

Product of an overbearingly strict household growing up here: your kid will grow resentful of you and will rebel more due to you treating him like this. I have a great relationship with my parents now (I’m 26), but there was a lot of resentment and tension in the high school/college years due to how much they tried to…

My grandfather passed a few weeks ago so went out of town for the service and ended up driving around my 14 year old cousin. She’s one of those HS freshman who act like they’re 22. Anyway, she pulls out a Juul and hands it to me. Because I’m an old, I thought it was a fun vape and took a big old pull. First…

Good job, youre kid will now grow up to hate you and will be a burnout stoner as soon as he graduates because you punish instead of educating.

No offense, but if this is real and not a (pretty good) troll job, it sounds like your son has a much bigger problem than vaping, being impressionable, or wanting to fit in. Pulling him out of class and taking him into the principal to confess and rat out the rest of his friends sounds like something that will have…

I sat there while he ratted out every kids real name from the buy/sell group as I scrolled the list and couldn’t help but be a little sad at how quickly he cracked to save his own tail.

So in summation: you are a crazy helicopter parent, and you’re raising a rat.

His answer: So he could shoehorn in more forced slapstick

Weird. It was a fun little tradition. Johnson just loves to kill that past doesn’t he! What a progressive, revolutionary fella!

As a parent I wanna say that sounds rather harsh. How about a slap on the wrist for a first time offender. I mean, even letting him rat out his own ‘friends’? The poor kid will probably have no life at school until graduation.

Don’t you mean:
“Rian Johnson Explains why he Omitted Traditional Scream from the Last Jedi”

Your kid is 15 and not allowed to use social media? No wonder he’s rebelling.

I’m mostly concerned that these are just a start with the legalization of marijuana in my state.

Counterpoint: I (and most of my friends) started chewing when we were Freshman. But I don’t do it anymore; it was just an adolescent phase. I (and those friends too) managed to get into great colleges. You (and the school administrators) may not only be overreacting but also making it much more appealing by coming…

I completely agree. I still liked the film, but they treated Skurge shabbily.
