what will U do if your child said he/she wanted to be an proffesional assasin ??

I am playing roguelike games since twenty years. My last avatar is "one of two children of a Dwarven Bandit". As a professional dwarf Bandit I would not appreciate that my son became a honest professional assassin, but I am a liberal father : if it is his calling...

I'd be teaching them...

How old is this child? Young or teenager? Anyway, I would hope that I had taught my child about morals before it could come to this. If not, and my child did say something like this, I would tell him/her about how killing is wrong and hope to persuade them to change their mind.

Tell her that if she trains really really hard she can be whatever she wants. But there is a lot of extra hard work and chores involved. She would have to be amazing at science and math would need to change her name to Rodrigo learn how to clean up blood and study the power of different kinds of detergents. She would also need to save up all her money (which would mean giving up toys and candy) because she would need it to by weapons. She would also have to hold off going to the bathroom cuz she's have to sit for several hours waiting for her target to arrive. She would also not be allowed to have any friends because you never know who might rat you out. She also needs to be 7'8 and swing on trees. And hitmen might come after you. Then tell her what prison would be like if/when she gets caught and how boring it is to sit through several court hearings just to appeal your case, and inevitably be thrown back in the slammer anyway. And in prison YOU DON'T GET A PUPPY!!!

If my child came to me and announce that he/she wanted to be paid for killing people, not matter what age my child is, I would be very worried. The shooting in Tucson, should be an eye-opener as to what can happen when our children think this way.

You know, I actually wanted to be a professional assassin when I was younger cause it seemed so cool. Though I would kill bad people and I wouldn't kill woman and children since I don't have a cold heart. Of course I wanted to be that because I've watch a lot of action movies and play a lot of video games that have to do in being a Spy and an Assassin and it seems so cool. Though I know killing people is not a cool thing and I probably don't have the guts to kill someone unless they are trying to kill me. If I heard my kids telling me that, I would ask them why and tell them what I think, which killing people is bad and it's not cool. Just cause your kids want to be a Professional Assassin, doesn't mean they are going to become killers. You just have to teach them what is right and wrong. And lay off the action movies from them. Put more Disney movies.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't let any of my children to take that profession. It is highly dangerous and life threatening. Furthermore, police will also be involved and what happen if they're caught? Their parents would get troubled too. While I support them for achieving what they want / dream but not to this kind of act. I don't want them to be bad, but I want them to success by doing something legal and appropriate.

Welcome to the secret service, son...

That's funny! I won't tolerate my child. Maybe if he's joking its okay. but if not, I won't. I don't want to have a child like that. I'll worry every time for him because I don't want him to be caught because of doing such things. Seriously, I would laugh first but I'll tell him that its bad. Maybe if he's professional its okay (lol) Hahaha! No, I don't want. Its bad. Happy mylotting!

I would do everything that I possibly could to dissuade my child from such a decision. that is not a profession I would ever wish on my child. There would be no future but heartbreak in it. the inevitable would come and I don't think I could bear it.

Hi Captain, Yes, that is scary but if they have already set up their minds it is not going to change... I would try of course to dissuade them but if still their preferences dont change... maybe the Army is a better way out... But if they do take up the wrong sides, then the only way I see is to disown them legally, and cut off all relations with them - I dont want others in the family suffering due to their acts... I know this is easier said than done, but the chances are 99% - As a parent I have to take care of those in the family who are right and on right paths.

This is what tv does to kids. I want to be a professional assassin too- they just look so cool and I'll just accept payment to kill the bad guys. But I can't live with the guilt though, so that's just one of my dark fantasies. I'm sure your child would change his or her dream once he or she grows up. If they don't be totally against it- just be a police.

I would be proud. I would be very proud and would immediately support this dream. Of course, I'm kidding. What I said here is an example of the influence of TV and other media. Meaning, they only think this way now because of what they see or hear on media. When they grow up a little more, there's a big chance that they'd start seeing things seriously. Well, if not, then some counseling is in order, I believe.

I would use what they call reverse psychology. When your child says they want to become a professional assassin, chances are its just because they watched a movie and it looked like fun. Show them a movie with the real gore of assassinating someone and when you ask them if they're sure that's what they want to do, they may change their mind. It sounds like the child just doesn't know the real meaning behind the job so they just need to be made aware of it.

I gues then : Like the father like the son :P (or something) Well i dont know its his choice i dont think its right i might say it but its his life i cant control it :) So if he/she chooses it and want it its not my choice i can only give opinion :)
