How can I get my grandmother off my back and let me surf?

Have a chat about any general surfing related topics.

how about next time you get on your board, just start paddeling and keep on going and go, and go, go, go, so intead of running away your actually swimming away, that way, you'll be free, away from home, away from good all granny but most importantly away from the internet!!!!

the only problem with your solution is that poor old faf lives nowhere near an ocean and doesnt surf but likes to live out his fantasies of getting pitted in 20 ft waves(hawaiian size) on a forum on the internet with people who hate him

btw ive been away from my comp for a day and faf posts 50 times...spanner

And our little Francois also spends xxxxx loads of time on different skate forums and other random places whining about the same stuff.

Seriously - speak to someone REAL about it and stop living your life on the internet. If you're having REAL issues, then they won't get solved on here or any other forums.

And a dose of reality will probably help too, otherwise you really WILL alienate people who might have otherwise shown some sympathy.....

I tried that to get them to sleep in the same room again (they don't even sleep in the same room, I am surprised they aren't devorced, the only reason they are together is financial bisness, altough I got them to tolerate eachother, I sometimes give my grandmother marijuana incense (but I don't tell her that it is marijuana, she loves incence but hates the idea of marijuana) to calm her down and to make her a bit happier for a few hours.) It didn't work out.

Oh and Surfing-Innovation, how the f@#k do you know my name?
And btw the reason I ask this on the internet is because nobody "real" listens, but it seems like you guys don't either, another thing is I am homeschooled, meaning I don't meat many people, and the only tim I can talk to people is in the water, and you can't have a successfull conversation when people are catching waves and/or paddling to get out of the way of the whitewater, I just crave some pseudo-communication with someone, even if it is over the internet, plus I must say I type fast. (this took me like 2-3 minutes, remember, because I do homeschooling I type everything I do instead of writing it so my typing is faster than what most people can write.)

"I'm a victim of my own sorrows!"

Seriously, I wanted to surf ever since I was about 8 or so, but my mom was never very supportive of the idea. Then one day I learned to drive and took care of business without a single worry.

Very few people take sympathy with your plight, not because they hate you (although that is something you may be rapidly approaching). It might have something to do with the fact that everyone has been your age once before and dealt with similar issues. Each one of us pulled through quite alright and realized that it wasnt the end of the world. That and people really dont feel like revisiting their early teen-days because for the most part, it really was a load of hogwash. Ever wonder why, for the most part, you dont see college kids and working professionals hanging out with middle and high schoolers?

good luck and keep on keepin on!

Good point, but the thing is, although I know that it will be over eventually I am woundering what to do in the meantime, do you think asking a few older surfers to talk to them would help?

Faf, here's some honest advice, deal with it, if you're 14, you'll be outta there in a few years, might sound like ages to you, but it isn't. Get your head down, get educated, get to university or whatever, earn some money, travel the world, surf as much as you can and it'll all turn out OK. Chill out and enjoy yourself.

I know, but I want to make the most of my teenage years while I have them, and waiting for 4 years can get boring. (remember, to me that is more than a quater of my lifetime, like 10+ years for you, you have to see things in perspective), BTW I must say, I really like your randomness.

dude... look on the bright side... these are the worst years of your life.. meaning the rest can only be better.. it sucks.. but what do expect to find here... nothing on the internet can help you your aul pair are control freaks... maybe you can get a friend's parents to try talking to them... failing that try climbing up a bell tower with a high powered rifle... that ought to grab their attention. (just in case you're dumber than i think you are or have access to firearms....i'm joking)

How can your teenage years be the worst of your life? It's seriously hard to get locked up compared to when your older, lots of cute chicks, no work/mortgage/kids to keep you out the water, and if you can actually surf, you've got a lot of years of fun ahead of you.

Chill out, suck it up, and enjoy it. It gets worse when you're older IMO.

What about school, the cost of boards, parents, transportation, homework, chores, dogs, and the list goes on and on, us teenagers have our own problems.
Oh and hawaiiSUCKSexeptsurf, because your story is worse than mine doesn't make mine less bad, it only makes yours worse. (and I feel for you bra)
