Problem at hand..

In the world we live in these days, everyone are enemies to everyone.. Even those who have a heart to sincerely help,people would still think of them as the bad guy.. Let me give an example..

I see a lady, with 2 kids walking by the road side.. Suddenly the rain started to pour heavily, and there were no where for shelter.. I stop my car and ask them to hop in.. The lady quickly pushed her two kids behind her back and put on a defensive look.. After i have offered to give them a lift, she shouts.. Tak Mau..!! Tak Mau..!! Gosh.. Where did i go wrong? is it because i am a guy? or because i have a notorious look? or is it because i don own a bmw or mercedes? or....,can it simply be the lack of trust in these days..??hmmmm..

Thats in the macro point of view.. Now, i wanna narrow it down to the micro point of view..

Motorcycle.., Teens.. OH No..!!! REMPIT... Everybody now associates every young teen on a bike an illegal racer (Mat Rempit). Lately i have been asking my parents for a motorcycle.. My mum, she would give me the look like a bike is something taboo in my family.. She would say things like i would take girls around, i wont be at home most of the time, the danger of me being in negative influence, and the danger on the road..

Well, about the danger on the road, its a definite thing..But, i have been cycling around town for years.. And u know what, not even a single accident.. About the other things, let me just say my mum doesn't know me..
1. there isn't anywhere to go in this small town i live in..
2. i am not that free to bring girls out..-no money..,-i cant even handle myself yet
3. i know where my boundaries stand and i have my religion to guise me


Reasons why i want a bike..
1. petrol consumption is low..
2. save time..
3. i dont have to stress my parents up into sending me here and there, especially during peek hours..
4. church is now so far, and i go many a times at different times then my sis, because of duty..
5. i can offer to send ppl back, rather than always asking ppl to send me back..!! ( i know how it feels to keep on asking ppl for transport home..)
6. i HATE to rely on others for things..
7. extra classes are going to start next year, and the time is going to be smacked in the middle of office hours..
8. i have many other reasons..

So..,why dont i tell my parents..? The thing is, they wont listen.. If they would just keep quiet when i am trying to explain things and not just shoot at me every opportunity they get..Sigh.. Somebody care to enlighten them..????????? Thing is, i wanna do good..but as the example i gave earlier on..,everyone dont trust everyone.. till the extend of family members..
