How do you like this rap song I'm writing?
I'm still going to write two more verses to this. Let me know what you honestly think. Thanks
I'm going to be using this instrumental when I record:

Ted was misled as a child
He watched him Mom shoot up and Dad his walk out
Without anyone to talk about how he felt he bowed his head
Wishing for a day where he could fly instead of drown
He’d cry to his Mom to please put the pipe down
She’d reply life’s too stressful and this is my way out
He witnessed fist full of pills make their way into her mouth
One day he tried to take them away but she just hit em and shouted
You little prick! How dare you throw my last fix out
She packed Teds bags n threw him out of the house
Told him a sixteen old boy can find his own joy now
But it was cold in the south of Detroit, his pain numbed from the frost
He wasn’t even employed, he became homeless and lost
He turned thief to fill voids, showing chrome when crossed
Pursuing reefer and pills avoiding the home that he lost
He’d light his blunt up and sing his moms same song
(Chorus)
Ted began to deal anything he got his hands on
Started sniffing yayo so he could remain calm
Living selling Cane stones killing Able pained domes
Feeling hateful through the rain he drained alone
A stain was grown that then changed his love for life
He took drugs every night in spite with thugs despite
The flood raising its height, He started losing his light
Inside his mind he was moving the right way
But that was just addiction taking hold of his plays
His mind became molded like clay not to stay sober
Now instead of getting paid he was just a heavy smoker
All ways ready to dust a boulder,
Thinking about his mom, **** someone must have told her by now
That he was addicted to crack, but now smack was on his mind
So he went out and bought a needle, a lethal injection
Because people told him it’d make him feel peaceful
Being needful he filled it up with heroin
His vessels started narrowin then he heard the devil echoin
(Chorus)
How do you convince your parents to let you buy an inappropriate M game (Saints Row 3)?
Back in November my parents let me sign up for the Game fly free trial for my school's Thank's Giving break. The main thing I wanted from gamefly was Saints Row 3, since I'm in to the more free roam/do what you want games. I started playing and saw it was an incredibly fun game. I love how you can soup up your car and motorcycles. I loved that part and also the jets. It was fun to role play on since they had all the shops. So I beat its story mode and saw that it had a ton of stuff that 13 year olds shouldnt be involved in. Though I also Have 3 older brothers that talk a lot about stuff like whats in the game. My dad was going to get it for me for christmas but then my mom saw what its rated for and made him return it. She tends to be more religious since we are christians and didnt even let me get dead island because it says sexual themes on the back even though thats just cause some zombies are in bikinis. They arent too concerned with cursing in games like COD or BF3. But if this tells you anything my dad bought me read dead redemption for my birthday, knowing it has ACTUAL nudity where as saints row pixelates it. Its not like I would become some drug addict just for playing the game. The only stuff i like doing is souping up cars and skydiving. I even prefer acting like a cop in it. I'm 13 by the way. Please tell me how to convince my mom to let me get it.
To Dr. No, I do respect my parent's decisions, I just want to tweak their decisions a bit. Like I respect them and all its just my mom kinda still treats me like im 5. She doesn't even like me playing games with smoking, and Lord of the Rings, bilbo and gandalf smoke (possibly even drugs) and she loves those movies. Soooo yeah, she just treats me like I'm 5.
OH! And also thanks people for the good answers, and responding so fast too. So far 3 out of the 4 answers have been helpful......Dr. No

Thanks guys. The last two verses are going to be the most powerful ones. I've got something really great planned for this
I want to live in a different era so badly?
I'm a 14 year old girl, and I want to live in a different era so so badly.
I wish I could grow up as boy in Manhattan in about 1900 as a newsie, when school wasn't mandatory, you played stickball for fun, kids worked, and things were just simple and fun.
Now all I hear is about all the problems in politics and all the kids I know just sit on facebook and talk about what's annoying. Nobody's ever playing outside and schools so hard and I hate it.
Girls are so dramatic and their statuses are always these stupid songs about sex and drugs that don't even make sense. Everybody's the same and when they want to have fun, they just go to the mall and buy stuff and hang out in like parking lots or something. Nobody's innocent.
I feel like growing up in this difficult time, I missed my whole childhood. I played freedom and wiffle ball and stuff, but I always was worried about school and everything. People are so interested in having what's new, and then after that they want more and more and more.
I live in northeast Philadelphia, though I want to move so badly to an area right outside of center city where there's more walkability and people outside.
I'm just so bored with today. There's nothing to do. Everybody's locked inside all the time, worrying about things. Politics, drugs, pregnancies, crimes, whatever. It's really depressing.
This bothers me all the time. I hate living in the time I live in, I think about what I can do non stop, I'm literally obsessed.
People don't understand that people were happier when things were simple, they don't stop and realize that they're contributing to the fact that everybody is depressed and boring.
What can I do?
Why hasn't anyone thought to reverse Regan's Deregulation policy?
Since Regan deregulated the financial institutions, this country has turned completely upside down. It's obvious the rich are obscenely wealthy and the impoverished get kicked (literally) down at every turn. For example, Social Security received an 3.6% cost of living adjustment, not much and completely inadequate. But for those who are eligible for food stamps (I'm not), their food stamp allowance was decreased. That's just one example. Since deregulation, living in a structure (owning or renting) is not affordable. Utilities are not affordable. Transportation is not affordable. I live on $862.00 a month. That is after medicare and some sort of medical plan is taken out. Could you live on that? And believe it or not, I'm not eligible for any type of help from any government agency because I get too much to live on. I am a natural born citizen of the U.S. and have watched our country spiral downhill for 45 years. The people who do the hard work are coming out with nothing. How strong can we be when we encourage present, past and future generations to live on credit? I can't see that as a healthy way to run any country.
Listen, I'm dirt poor (since I am disabled), and, believe me, there is no hope.
Society believes that drugs, Algol and the like are a serious problem. Sorry, they are only a symptom of the problem.
The problem is; we have a society that just does not work. We expect our young adults to begin their journey in huge debt, from their education. Work hard, buy a house; more debt. Continue living in debt till the day they die.
Where is the hope there?
Listen, I don't have hope anymore, but, please, try do do something for the generations coming up. Put regulation back, at least to a point that is livable for the majority, not just for the minority (of the wealthiest). I gotta say; the citizens of this country are dying out here!
