If there was one thing you wish your parents had supported of you, what was it?

For me, I wish they had bought me a guitar when I asked for one at age 15

Sports. Definitely sports. And school. My parents didn't really care about anything except God. Turns out, God doesn't dish out many physical or intellectual outlets or money or education. They supported me meh'ly, but they never acted like anything really mattered.

I was elite. At 14, I was benching 175, and deadlifting 350, weighing 136. I could have gone far. But the parents fucked too many things up.

@Tatsumi That damn "fools ball"... haha... just kidding!
If you don't mind my asking, what religion are your parents?

Also, you can still do what you want

@Phire1 They're Christian. I can, but it is just unfortunate to me that so much potential was wasted. And, my prime is just about burned out, anyway.
