    I was forced to play sports and got some injuries that did lasting damage, all to placate a chud family.

    Would not recommend forcing kids to play sports, particularly ones with expected contact injuries.

    The arts should be a fine alternative.

      no injuries but my parents used to make me go out and throw baseballs at me

      they thought the computer was useless. i was writing code at like 12 and would have to delete it because it was “breaking the computer”

      i was too big and masc bodied to be allowed to do that. jokes on them i hated all things IT related when i tried to go to college for it
