Oh Abby honey ... I don't mean to disparage your dearest daddy ... but his comment He says it's not very Christian to want to study about how people die and getting in the minds of criminals, and that I need to study something more upbuilding ..... REALLY made me laugh.

Isn't it kind of 'pot calling kettle black'ish' to keep you away from studying forensics ... when he's spent your lifetime telling you that his god is going to destroy all non-believers in a fiery type of Armageddon scene? Seriously ... you have more patience than me at the same age. I'd have spat it big time and tossed all the talk of mass destruction, torture, persecution, death etc ... straight back at him!

Just bide your time and study what your dad has allowed you to .... then when you're legally old enough to make changes to suit your learning wants ... you can make them and there'll be nothing anyone can do! Getting into a good study pattern is always handy ... regardless of what you're studying. Hang in there honey ... some of us weren't allowed to study further than the minimum high school levels!
