I'm Scared

[iLegovideo 152]

My dad has been disapproving of MLP ever since I started to like it. In July he had a heart attack and was in the hospital because he was fighting with me about it. And there was a really cute girl I knew that is a brony. And he wouldn't let me see her. I didn't stop liking it though. And I've been keeping it a secret. Last night I was preformed at my schools talent show. There was a teen that said good job. I saw his shirt that said something about anime which I really enjoy. My dad was 2 rows in front of this scene. I said "do you like anime?" He said "yeah I'm a brony too" since my dad was close I wouldn't talk about it I just lied and said "bronies? Meh. I don't really think anything bout them. I just stay away." His little brother said "he wet to bronycon" I guess because my negative reaction he wanted to embarrass his brother (that's what little brothers do). My dad heard that little kid saying that. At night I heard yelling. My dad was shouting at my mom saying how I "want him to be dead." I don't want that to happen. But I have no idea what to do. I just want to go to sleep and never wake up. If he dies ill be guilty all my life. What do I do?

Sigh, this is the main issue that most of us have: Forbidden love. To tell you the truth, I have the same problem, on a smaller scale. My dad isn't a hater anymore, which is good. Your dad shouldn't do that because it's just not right to limit the people you can talk to just because you're a brony. Why would your dad think that you want him dead? That's just jumping to  conclusions. Okay, my family has the same issue.We usually jump to conclusions. Well, what I think you should do is your heart's intent because it is the right thing to do.

Your dad's health is not your fault - he has been having problems since the 90's, long before any of this (and the cause of the heart condition would likely have been years before this!). If he wasn't stressed about MLP it sounds as though it would be something else he would be worrying about! So none of this is your fault.

 

As everypony has said you are a great success in school and should be very proud of where you are today, so keep up the excellent work and always look to challenge yourself! The experience you have in C++/C# will go a long way if you decided to be a programmer! Python doubly so! Java too - (even though I don't agree with it myself!) hehe just kidding I've been in I.T. a few years and with these types of skills you can get a very well paid job where they treat you just right. Focus on your career and the next step - think about what will make you happy, develop your skills and all of this will matter less and less with time.

 

Your dad doesn't understand MLP and it probably frightens him. From what you say, it sounds like he is worried about the effect it will have on you and your future. He shouldn't of course! But for now, I recommend not mentioning MLP around him until things change.

 

But being happy in yourself is very important. I'm here for you too broham if ever you want to talk. just remember all your achievements and look to the future.

Lol. I haven't met a single programmer that loves java like I do. It's like Ruby on Rails where you can do so much and it's simple. Probably the reason I got third is cuz they did a TON of java.
