Mock exams will be in 2 weeks time and I gave up studying...
But, here's something interesting...
wow...seriously, there's nothing much I could say 'bout these videos. Erin (cute girl from last video above) definitely made some great points in "counselling" the troubled parent who "counselled" his daughter by shooting her laptop (I mean, he bought it for her). It's a mad and pathetic world...
Yes, people do make mistakes. But, remember, learn from them and don't repeat them. The father took this drastic action by putting like 10 bullets (6 for his frustrations and disappointment in her, 1 for the mother and 2 to make sure, just in case the laptop is still repairable). Come on, he is spending some bucks on the bullets to shoot some other things that costs like RM1000. But, that's a sight of relief when you don't see a mad cowboy driving a truck on the street in pursuit of his daughter with a shotgun. At least nobody got hurt right? I know there's really something wrong with my language structure, but let me put this straight : such response in shooting a laptop is not wrong, but it is a drastic action that is expensive and irrational.
Dr. Phil's show is to help troubled teens and parents, but indirectly may embarrass the person in front of the audience. I'm not a TV reality show expert, but, those people that are being counselled and interviewed by Dr. Phil had the choice whether to go up on air, in which they have to foresee some interesting issues like embarrassment, especially when dealing with issues like this. Yet, the TV show is makes constructive progress in putting the shattered pieces of family back together. On the other hand, the dad's intention was to let the world know that his daughter has gone too far, and wished to give the girl a lesson. But, the action he chose by shooting the laptop was totally against his intention, which led to destructive implications. The daughter had no choice (unavoidable) in watching a video about her laptop being drilled by bullets, which was posted on her Facebook page.
Such action may ignite fear or a sense of revenge from the daughter. "There's difference between tough love and shooting a laptop," Erin made it pretty clear here. Teenagers are in the stage where they make most mistakes and tend to learn most out of them. A gun fire somehow would just extinguish her passion towards life and bring her to a dead end. The daughter may be too afraid to try out new things as her dad may put a bullet hole in the medium that contributes in the mistake. For example, the daughter, Hannah got pregnant while she's still 16. So, is the dad gonna shoot the baby or the boyfriend in the.....ya' know...?
The daughter would not be able to make progress in her life. Or, she could make all the mistakes she wants throughout her life, because she knows that her dad won't be able to hurt her. If things made her pretty mad, she could just put some bullet holes back at his dad's stuff. And, the cycle goes on and on...until they have nothing else to shoot but themselves. (sarcasm, get it? XD)
I would like to type more 'bout this...but I've got some studies to catch up with....
She's got potential to become a news broadcaster and even a lawyer! http://www.youtube.com/user/erinsotherstuff?feature=watch
