Once again, they're always right, even when you're obviously nothing like what they say. • They believe that they reserve the right to automatically win any arguement of their choosing.

This goes for anything else they say as well. • They will often embarass you in front of your friends. The parent/s will often claim that they "forgot" or they "won't do it again", despite the fact that even they know that that isn't true.

Said friends will either pretend to laugh and then secretly shun you, or just drop you and not hang out with you.
