What would your parents do...

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?

They would send me away to the hospital and rehab to get me off of anything I was on.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?

They would probably not be the happiest but overall, they don't care.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?

My brother would be very awkward around me and my sister too.... but for my parents.... hmmmm.... I don't really know how they would react. Probably negatively at first.... for a couple years.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

They would definitely be upset. And would find anyway to get me to College.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

They are mostly non religious so they wouldn't care at all.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

Wow.... wouldn't help me at all. Probably would turn me in.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Mom: flip out and tell me to get off the shit
Dad: would ask me questions why I'm doing it, and would later cry when I'm not present
Sister: would bitch and complain over the phone to me

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
Mom: would have a hard time dealing with it at first, then accept it later
Dad: wouldn't mind at all
Sister: would be happy

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Mom: would cry
Dad: would really cry
Sister: would console my parents as best as she could

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
Mom: would have tried inspiring me to go
Dad: would force me to go
Sister: would give me continuous lectures on being more successful with a college degree

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
Mom: WTF?
Dad: WTH?
Sister: uhhhhh....why???

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
Mom: would insisit I turn myself in, and help me along the way
Dad: would support me in running out of the country
Sister: "OMG why did you kill him?"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

1. I think they would cry first and then kick me outta the house, then I'll become homeless.

2. I would like to think my parents are okay with that. I know my mom is totally fine with it, but my dad is more conservative and traditional... so he might have a heart attack first.

3. Hmm... That, I haven't thought about. I think my mom would just accept me the way I am, but my dad would cry, or even break the father-daughter relationship.

4. They would say, "Then get your ass out there to find a job to pay for yourself."

5. They would be totally okay with it. You gotta respect the other religions and learn and knowing that your old religion wasn't the one and only in this world.

6. They would still turn me in to police. lol.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

1. They would probably ask what drugs first off and if it was something that they did they would Say Cool, but don't do it again. IF it was something they didn't do, they would say Don't do it again, and then ask what it was like.

2. My parents would be a little shocked at first and they would try to have an open mind. Later they would adjust and wouldn't care.

3. Same as with number 2.

4. They would laugh and then say to quit joking, Then they would get all serious and say and finally concede if I'm stubborn enough and say it's my choice.

5. My father wouldn't care but my mother would try to convince me to stay with the current one and if she sees that i have a solid base, then she would give up and say that I'm at least worshiping God.

6. I have no Idea what they would do. Most likely say, Turn myself in and if I refuse, then they would turn me in and probably Disown me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
My dad would have a SHIT FIT. I wouldn't even want to think about what he would do, since he's basically threatened us since we were kids that if we became drug addicts, he would disown us. I told my mom I smoked sometime and she took it pretty well, but there was an incident during the summer where she discovered my brother hit the pipe pretty hard on a daily basis, as well as experimented with coke, acid and other drugs. She didn't freak out but it really bothered her on a deep deep level. It's just hard for her to take that the kid she held in her arms was addicted to something.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
They would be wierded out, especially if it was black or mexican person (they're racist, what can I say). But in the end, if they treated me well and was a good person, then they'd be able to accept it. Even better if he was a doctor with a degree from an Ivy League.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Both would think I'm joking. I don't know what they'd do if I was really serious, they both thing homosexuals are "wierd" and "perverse" but there was a time where we all suspected my half-brother was gay, and my dad didn't seem that bothered by it. So who knows, wierded out at first but they'll accept it after a while.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
They would kick me out of the house and never talk to me again. Interestingly enough, they would take this worse than me doing drugs.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
We're agnostic so they wouldn't really care.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
If it was on accident, they would probably do everything in their power to help me. If I killed someone in cold blood and didn't feel any remorse for it, they might turn me in.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Depends on the drug. There's a huge difference between marijuana and crack. There would equally be a huge difference in their reaction. They wouldn't aprove even of marijuana, though.

Quote:

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?

I guess they will have to deal with that one, if things continue as they are. They seem fine with it. What choice do they really have?

Then again, I'm honestly not sure my dad has really taken in that particular fact. It seems to kind of elude his notice. He's not actually met her yet, although my mom has. Marriage is a long way off, but dating someone of another race is basically the same as far as your folks are concerned, right?

Quote:

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?

I'm not sure they'd be all that accepting. They are Christians, after all. It's the sort of thing they'd take with a kind of forced politeness, if it were the case.

Quote:

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

They would have been frankly dissapointed. College decisions are a long way behind me, though. For better or for worse.

Quote:

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

I went through this one a long time ago... if you'll stretch a point to cover 'atheism' as a religion they don't follow. If I'd actually gone over to another religion, it might have been awkward. As it is, they respect my decision with all due grace.

Quote:

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

I don't think they'd give me the time of day. They might, if I was lucky, give me an hour to get away from their house before calling the police. I'd do the same in their position, too. Murder is something that none of us would want to a party to, even in so limited a manner as hiding the criminal.

FELIPE NO

1. Like most replies, they'd probably think I'm joking as I'm really not that kind of person. Though they'd probably flip out and do everything to stop me if they found out that I was serious.

2. No problem with this, they encourage me as long as the guy is good to me
(well and to them :P).

3. I actually remembered discussing this with my mom a long time ago, I used to joke about me liking girls, and she said she's fine as long as I'm loyal to only one gender, she somehow can't stand it if I'm bisexual tho. I never understood why. (I guess it's 'unfaithful to love' in general or something)

4. Been there and done that, they lived with it. (I couldn't turn down a really good job offer, though I'm mostlikely going back next year)

5. Wouldn't have a problem as well, they let me decide my own religion. Unless it's some weird evil religion or something...

6. I'd probably have to explain why I did it, and explain all the stories before they turn me in, even if I did it as a self defence. I would perfer turning myself in as well than hiding from the polices for the rest of my life.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?

They would be shocked of course

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?

They wouldn't care at all, my mom is married to a Dane.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?

My mom is very homophobic, even when i comb my hair many times she tells me that she's afraid that i will turn gay. So by that you can guess the reaction.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

I don't know about that one

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

This has already happened, i've told my mom that i dont believe in God anymore, and she got angry and calls me many names about it, including anti-christ. LOL. My family is catholic BTW

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

I think they will help me, but you never know about that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?- Be supportive and try to get me into rehab.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?- they're open minded so would support me.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?- They'd probably be estatic because I couldn't get pregnant by mistake out of wedlock lol. But sad because no biological grandchildren.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go? erm? I've done college I'm now in university and it's my money they'd be a little a disappointed i suppose because they want good things for me. I'd be more upset then them.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed? I don't believe in their religion anyway.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police? turn me in. Tough love baby.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Take me to rehab

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
Not bother

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Say whatever you want to be

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
Get told to go out and find a job

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
Do whatever you want to do

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
Break my legs, Disown me, Then turn me in.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
They'd laugh. Then go "Wait... are you serious?" Then fret for a while, then try to get me into rehab.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
Wouldn't matter to them, as long as the person was of the HUMAN race.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
They'd laugh. Then go "Wait... are you serious?" Then fret for a while, then they'd probably disown me.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
Ask me why, and if it was a good reason, say "Okay!" and if it wasn't, say "Well, it's your choice, but you'd accomplish more if you went to college."

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
They'd say "We hope you find your way back someday, and just remember what right and wrong is."

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
They'd laugh. Then go "Wait... are you serious?" Then fret for a while, then probably say "...No. We're turning you in."

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?

This is the issue that they're the most protective on. They'd probably try to get me into rehab, and get all my family and friends involved in all sorts of interventions and stuff.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?

I don't think it would be an issue at all.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?

Probably not an issue.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

There would be many arguments, and they probably wouldn't be happy, but in the end they'd support me in my decisions.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

Maybe a little bit of resistance, but in the end they'd support my decision.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

They would probably encourage me to turn myself in. After that, they'd probably refuse to help me further than giving me an hour's head start.

I was speaking idiomatically.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Um, they would tell me I had to quit or I would get kicked out of the house. Yeah, actually my bros were messing around with pot, and my dad pretty much said "stop or leave." They stopped.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
Um, I think that initially they would have a hard time with it, but they would get around that.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Whoa! No idea.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
I think it would depend what my alternatives were.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
Um, they'd freak. Then they would just be disappointed.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
I think they'd turn me in. Might depend on the situation.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
They'd have some definite issues with that considering I never even go near drugs...

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
They'd accept that, they're not racist/biased.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
See Answer #2.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
They'd be dissapointed, but they wouldn't really fret over it.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
Considering we follow no religion, that's a sort of tough one. They'd probably be a bit freaked out.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
If it were for a damn good reason (self-defense, killing someone attacking a bystander), they'd defend me until the very end. Anything else, they wouldn't have to tell me to turn myself in, I'd do it automatically.

FELIPE NO

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?

I think they would take me to a psychologist.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?

My mom would think of it as strange but they wouldn't have anything against it.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?

As long as I'm happy, they wouldn't care.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

Well, I won't go to university, although I have the grades and the money and they know it and don't have anything against it.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

Haha, I'm going to resign from the catholic church and we have lots of arguments on this issue at home but it's MY decision and they'll have to live with it.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

They wouldn't hide me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Wouldn't care if it was just smoking pot or anything. The hard drugs maybe they would. I mean they been down that road too many times themselves...

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
Eh...wouldn't care. People are people, love is love....it doesn't really matter.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Wouldn't really matter at all...you can apply the answer from number 2 here as well. I mean my mom already told me straight out that she doesn't care about it. Though I'm not interested in the same sex thank you very much .

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
Probably go WTF then probably agree to let me go (That and my mom would make my dad pay for it)...I mean I was one of the ones who thought school was useless and proved it....it would be kind of weird for me to come out and ask them if I could go to collage.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
Eh...we're already open to all religions....no...to be more presice, we believe in God and Jesus and all that...but we're not set into a major religion. I mean right now my mom's going through a Eastern religion phase. I wouldn't think that they would care (other then maybe my dad seeing as how he's still sort of Luthren) unless it was some sort of cult religion.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
Probably think I was joking until I showed them hard evidence like some sort of gun or a bloody knife or something. It would also have to depend on if I killed them in self defense or not. Other then that I don't know what they would do...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?

They will kill me. Or find some way to disown me.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?

I doubt they'll care.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?

No idea. Gay-ism isn't an issue in this country.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

They will still insist me on going.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

Nothing much, but I doubt I'll ever bother changing religions. I'm generally apathetic towards all matters of faith.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

Shocked initially, but I think they'll want me to turn myself in.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Keep in mind I'm the only child of Singaporean migrants, living in Australia.
17 years old (just) and I'm overprotected and... (insert rant...)

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Freak. Nothing else. Probably confine me to the house. Something like that. It's a strictly no drugs kind of household. No drugs kind of family and extended family too I suppose. It's not the kind of thing that they look down on (well, not really) but it's the kind of thing that is definitely a big NO in our house.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
I don't think my parents would have too big a problem with this, since the daughter of a close family friend married an Aussie guy. But there would be problems, not huge ones, but just trying to overcome the cultural differences and stuff. And besides, Eurasian kids end up being sooo pretty! =)

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
It wouldn't happen but... I don't think they'd take to it kindly. I'm a Christian, as are my parents, so I just don't think it would gel.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
They'd force me to go. End of story.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
Again, I wouldn't do this but... I think they'd be a bit scared, a bit disappointed, but they have this habit of letting me make my own mistakes, if changing my religion was going to be one of those mistakes...

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
I think that they'd probably turn me in... Though, the fact that I'm an only child and I'm all they've got... Hahaha. Nah, I think they would turn me in. It's an interesting question though....

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
I'm actually not sure of this one. I think it would depend on what exactly I was doing and whether or not I wanted to quit. The reaction would be pretty volatile though, and I doubt I'd get any trust back for a very long time.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
This wouldn't be a big deal at all. My dad makes slightly offensive jokes on occassion, but nothing too bad or intentionally racist.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
I doubt there would be any problem. They'd certainly be surprised, but nothing past that.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
Ha, for that my dad would completely cut me off financially and possibly disown me for a few years. He always says that the most important thing is for us to live so that we're happy with ourselves, but there's no way he'd stand for quitting/not going to college.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
It wouldn't really matter unless I went off and joined a cult. I was raised as a Catholic, but I haven't been to a service in around 12-13 years now. Doesn't mean I don't still follow a lot of the teachings, but I'm not necessarily a Catholic either.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
I'm sure they'd turn me in, or at least only let me stay with them for a day or so before talking me into turning myself in. Not that I'd need much convincing anyway.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Beat me with a stick, pick up the phone and call the cops.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
Rejoice. (He's married! Finally! Now we don't need to worry about HIM anymore...)

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Insert puns about it on a regular basis.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
Beat me with a stick, pick up the phone and beat me with that as well (w/o calling the cops).

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
That would be ANY religion, since they are non-believers. I don't think they'd question my beliefs, though.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
Beat me with a stick, pick up the phone, beat me with the phone and then call the cops.

Beat the hell out of me. No, seriously, they'd intervene.

As long as it wasn't a bear or anything, they wouldn't care. However, since my last marriage ended in divorce, they'd ask me if I was sure about marriage again.

Tell me the same thing they told me when I had a boyfriend: If you visit, you have separate rooms.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

Well, I DID go to college, but my mom never really pushed me to go to school. That was my choice, so she'd stick by me with that decision, too.

Turn me in, since my brother-in-law's a COP! LOL

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Everything seems to be going alright so far.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
That one might be a bit out there, though. I know my grandma wouldn't be too happy. =)

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Shock, and all that jazz. Probably followed by acceptance, eventually.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
My parents would be extremely mad at me for this one. College is a really big deal for them, especially with the kind of grades I'm getting.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
My mom is Christian, my dad is Jewish. I don't think this really matters too much, unless I "convert" to Atheism or Agnosticism. My mom is pretty God happy.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
My dad would probably help me out. My mom, not so sure. =\

FELIPE NO

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?
Not believe me at first, then look utterly stunned and drag me into rehab...

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?
shrug

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?
Again, not believe me, but probably continue to not believe me unless I actually PROVED it to them....somehow....*shudder*

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?
FREAK. The Asian Way.

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?
narrow their eyes...

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?
O_O...erm.......er........

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

1. What would your family do if you told them you were doing drugs?

Well, I've already had this discussion... I used to be suicidal and took a whole crapload of pills. They were cool about it. They sat down, talked with me, and began to understand why I was doing it. Since they were the reason for my self-medication, their understanding helped me a great deal.

2. If you told them you were going to marry some one of another race?

My mom would be enthralled, since she understands the first rule of genetics. My dad on the other hand, he'd freak out worse than he ever has. He's far more of a racist than he likes to make it seem.

3. What would they do if you told them you were gay?

My mom would understand and probably give me a hug. My dad would beat the shit out of me.

4. That you decided not to go to college, even though you have the grades and money to go?

They'd both just say "Fuck off and go work at Wal-Mart, I wash my hands of you".

5. That you were going to change your religion to one your family has never followed?

Already done this. I'm an Atheist, and my parents are Catholic and Methodist respectively. My mom likes to debate me on a theological level, and my dad is just sort of cool with it.

6. What would your family do if you said you had killed a person and needed help hiding from the police?

My dad would drive me himself to Mexico, and I have a feeling my mom would do the same.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
