The Different Types Of Sports Parents
JBM Thinks

If you have ever been to any kind of high school sporting event, we all know that parents make up a solid portion of the fans. There is usually a wide range from the quiet family who seems to never talk, to the parents who scream bloody murder whenever their child does remotely anything. While we may not have noticed them as much in high school, coming back and watching a game makes the presence of parents' personalities even clearer. Basically, it really makes us see that some parents are really just nuts.

The "My child could never do anything wrong" parent.

These are the moms or dads who freak out whenever the referees calls a foul on their kid. Even if they slapped another player across the face, the other guy started it.

The parent who thinks the referees are against the whole team.

These parents are almost worse than the previous parents. These guys will yell and scream whenever a foul is called on their child's team. Not to mention, whenever they call a foul on the other team they shout something like, "Finally, you opened your damn eyes!"

The snack parents.

Honestly, these guys are the best. Not only do they bring food for the team, they bring a feast for everyone. Throw out those little bags of chips you get from the vending machine because these parents brought a Thanksgiving meal for the whole team.

The oblivious parent who is just out of their mind.

These parents have no idea what is going on, at all. But they still find it completely necessary to scream their heads off the entire game. They simply yell to the point of losing their voice. Toward the end of the game, you have no idea what they're even saying because their voice has become a raspy mess, not that it matters considering they were just spewing nonsense.

The peppy parents.

These guys always show up dressed head to toe in team apparel, and if there is ever a lull in the game, they don't hesitate to start some cheers. But we never hated it, because they always made us laugh from the bench.

The way too into it parents.

Not to be confused with the oblivious parents, they usually know exactly what's going on. Whether they are just showing off how much they know and love the sport or trying to live vicariously through their kid (usually the case), these guys might be the worst. They're a combination of a simple screamer, a know it all, and a "my child is the best thing to ever grace the planet of earth." Steer clear of these guys.

In short, parents can be straight up crazy. But they are incredibly entertaining (most of the time).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
