You sound as if you are very young and confused. What do you want? Do you just want to get away from your family and get stoned? Then what? Yu just run away and be homeless?
Being a "hippie" is a lot more than just sex drugs and rock and roll. It is a way of life that us old hippies took a while to learn, peace, love your brother and live in harmony with the planet. Try to make it a better world and all that.

Since I know nothing of you or your family, I cannot say what is best for you right now. You have to take a look at yourself and decide what you want out of life. You don't want to end up being some drugged out loser (been there, done that), it's not a good life. Open your eyes and look around you, learn to be tolerant and understanding of other people. Just be patient and take accountability for your actions.

Sorry if this is not much help, but it is all I can say from the viewpoint of an old hippie.

 

Peace,

lets anyalise this.
1st- get friend to act religous,etc.
2nd- have him get the trust of those religous, and anti hip folk.
3rd- see how parents will react., but dont get desperate, it can show
4th- if they say yes---- GET THE HELL OUTA THERE MAN!!------
i say that because i cant stand anti hip folk they drag me down easier when i am already down. and the religous ones, is similar. they try to take advantage of you when you are down. and that is where there brainwashing games begin! i just need to get a sleeping patern that wont drag me down. i cant wait to get my car! (57 Bel Air ) i keep thinking about it. knowing soon it will be in my hands! it almost is already. get outa there and get to a hip place ASAP. staying there will just make you more miserable! trust me i know.

you should be proud of who you are and just tell your parents just say IM A HIPPIE AND THERE NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN IM GONNA LEAVE AND IF YOU DO THEN LET ME LEAVE!!! either way you get to go, its your life do what you wanna do peace and love

 

Aw Christ, Kid. I'm 58 years old and I'm still taking shit for being different. You have two choices...

Either be yourself... Or, be what They want you to be. The choice is always yours to make.

 

Sam--best advice I've seen in this thread.

 

Yes, Sam's got it right.

 

MMM
tend to agree with Grendel........ may be rare amongst our tpe but never thought mj so cool neway

More about way u think

Also as age increases realise that change is what happens to u 2 and not just wot u do

God
am I my father?

I'd say listen to Grendel. He's got a few years on me, so I'd consider him the voice of experience. Look, I had an intolerable living situation at 15. My father and stepmother were physically abusive, there were very few people around my own age, I was way out in farm country way-upstate NY, things were just not conducive for my growth. I HAD to leave. And leave I did, 3 or 4 times. A very long story, but 1969 was a wild time for me. Frankly, I am surprised I am still alive. If all your parents do is nag you a little bit, stop whining and suck it up. Get AS MUCH education as you can. You can get stoned and play "HIPPIE" later. Get involved; volunteer for something you believe in. Being a useless little stoner and sitting around bitching about life accomplishes nothing. Start exploring things that interest you...yoga, environmental protection, organic living, anti-war activism. READ, READ, READ. And learn. If you want to be taken seriously, stop being a burden and find a way to contribute.

You're not listening at all, are you. Why do I bother.

 

Grendel44 and he *points above her* gave you some good advise. Sam did too, but that means being prepared to listen to adversity. Just suck it up. It'll be over before yah know it and you will be on your own.

 

Peace,

i agree. Sam, that is the best advise you can give anyone. Be Yorself. and blow off anyone who says different. you have to take responsability for your own actions no one else can thats why is 'sooo' easy for them to tell you such things. there just jelous because your so happy and there not and they want to use you as a stepping stone. the choice is yours and no one else can influence that unless you let them! keep the peace.

You can only be who you are and no other. You can change how you act, dress, talk or walk, but who you were born to be will come shining through in Infinite Time.
We can precive things and compute things that come in our lives. We can even twist and bend things till they conform to our idea of how things should be. In the end the Infinite Truth will reveal it's self and you will find that you are who you were always were.
As we travel through this time and place we become what we have learned. We use it as we see the need. If we be still long enough our Divine Rememberance (intuition) will lead us to our proper path. We are each difierent in our personal quests for the knowledge that we each need to grow and fullfil our purpose.
Living in Truth as a guide will keep your path bright and easy to follow. Lies and deciet will get you lies and deciet. Be honest with your convictions. Live them, be them. Be true to yourself. Trying being less judgemental with the ones you are judging and show Temperance. You will find ones being less judgemetal to you.
Cast your brightest shinning light on the ones that resist you the most. Bring your Love and Commpassion to the surface and overwhelm your enemies with The Bright Light of The Holy Spirit, Bless them and go freely. Become one with your higher self and you will find a salution to any problem. Problems are what you cause for youself. You are in control of you.

 

hear! hear!

not that you in particular are a burden but those words of advice are good for anybody - me included
