Maybe it was all this talk about freedom in Canada that got them contagious. ...They still want to me to get into medical school though. Change Canada to United States and that's pretty much me |

| What about a fourth opinion? A nonexistent parent?! |

Regicide said:  Liberal: Your childhood was relatively free you play a sport you like whats studying (when your parent tells you to) weekends are not for studying but rather, free time less focus on punishments Dam! if thats liberal parenting my parents and my friend's parents must have been off the spectrum. even when i was still in high school they were fine with me drinking and even smoking weed. it was weird one time i tried to hide a trash bag full of beer cans by putting them under other bags of trash but when my dad took it to the curb he somehow found out anyway. and all he said was dont but the cans in the trash i could get a fine for not recycling. and one time in college while home for the summer my parents caught me germinating some marijuana seeds before i planted them outside and somehow they had absolutely no problem with it |
| My parents are super liberal. I love them so much. I do wish that they had been a bit stricter with some of the things I got away with as a little kid, but I wouldn't change my parents - well I wouldn't change my mom; dad is a different story - for anything in the world. The hardest thing I've ever done was move so far away from my mom. I have to make sure to skype her at least once a week and keep updated. She's one of my best friends and I can trust her with (ALMOST OH SO CLOSE) anything. I could seriously praise my mom all day. She really makes me think of Lesley. Dude, you are one of the best parents I've ever heard of. I always make sure to take note of your parenting advice when I see it. If there was one thing I wish I could change, though, is I wish my dad had been there for me more. He's not a very personal guy; for being half of him, I barely know anything about him. But we can't always come out on top. |

katsucats said: Why would you not be proficient in English? majority of lifescience students are foreigner who are pursuing med school and CA doesn't have a standardized english proficiency test (unless you consider the CELPIP lol) so they get demolished on the MCAT eventually students either dropout, take it again, pursue a phd/masters which inevitably leads to a 6/6/6 simply because they aren't proficient in english |

| I think they're neither. Or maybe a healthy mix of the two. We weren't forced to play instruments or play sports, but support us whenever we express interest on something. I remember telling them that I want to be an astronomer, and they bought me all sorts of astronomy books. We had a reward system at home. If my brother and I got high grades in school, they'd treat us to something. Same with the house chores. They appreciate it if we help with the dishes. Possibly the only limit they impose is bed time. We sleep at 9pm on weekdays, no exceptions. That's when we were still in grade school. After writing this, I realize they're great actually. Always supporting us, trusting us to make the right decisions in life. |

It's my dad who's strict and an asshole about every little thing all the way to the music I listen to. Thank God they're separated and I only have to see him once every two weeks. Actually he'd be pretty happy if all i listened to was My chemical romance. |

| I really had no rules or restrictions. My mom really never cared what I did. I can go wherever, skip school whenever, have as many friends as I want over. She is forunate that I never took advantage of this. Honestly, It kind of sucks to not have an actual 'parent'. in the long run. |
| Parents : "liberal" I never had requirements and hardly any expectations growing up.. my rules were basically "don't break the laws" and "don't get yourself killed". That's about it. My grandparents on my moms side on the other hand.. are like the complete opposites. If I ever go to their house they set me up with a bunch of chores, even when I'm not at their house they signed me up for random stuff like basketball and kayaking, they expected me to get a highschool diploma and go to college, whereas my parents didn't care if I did or didn't. grandparents also disliked my choice of clothings and tried to make me wear more formal stuff. They also like to drag me along to church every sunday.. and try to get me to join any church events... and it just goes on and on.. |

| Parents: Extremely authoritarian. In some respects they are actually very liberal, but in most cases they are very authoritarian. For example, I am completely limited in my social endeavors... The fact that they are exceedingly close minded or religious does not help either. |
I wrote an API for MAL, written in pure Python. It wraps around the Official MAL API and improves on it, as well as adding some new features. Check it out!: |
| Well my parents are very liberal, but in one aspect, they were so far liberal as to be almost authoritarian I guess? What I mean is, that they're both doctors and I wanted to do astrophysics. They both said to me one day that they thought I was too creative for astrophysics and that I might find it boring. As such, I took multimedia at school and I'm now at film school and doing motion graphic design. Best (kind of) decision they ever made for me. |
