yes I think you were wrong. You said you don't like reporters that's why you grounded him. So if you like porn, and he said he wanted to be a porn star would that be ok with you?? You should encourage him to be whatever he wants to be. and kids change there minds all the time. next week he'll want to be something else, and he won't tell you for fear of being grounded again. You should go and talk to him and apologize. Good luck

Yes, you should not discuorage your children from presuing their dreams. You must be older then 20, since you have a kid that can talk, so would you want to be told by your father that you could not waste your time on Yahoo! Answers? You must spend time on this, since you do have points to ask a question. I would tell your son that you are sorry about grounding him and have a little talk with him about never giving up your dreams. Make sure to add comedy for him so he understands better if he is really young. Then on the weekend you should have a father+son day out. I think that will make it up to him. I hope you do the right thing, but these are some sites you can go to if you have any other parenting questions!

www.askusnow.com (they can give more sites if needed)

I hope these help!

Maybe you should spend some time with your son and explain to him why you think being a reporter is such a bad thing. A little talk like that would show him that you love and respect him; and it would give him a chance to think it through and understand your viewpoint.
I have two teenage sons and I have found that five minutes of thoughtful conversation can have far more influence on them than a week of being grounded.

Yes, do you have to ask? Kids are open and innocent. Besides you may find him to be one of the better ones. I am not all that fond of reporters. Some of them are really helpful though. Others, I just won't go there. Unground him and talk to him about it. Let him decide what he wants to do. Everyone should have a job that they can say, they love what they do, and the do what they love. Can you?

well im not going to tell u that u were wrong...but i think that was a very poor choice. when i was a kid i wanted to be a singer, a vetrinaian, life gaurd, or police....but now look at me - im going to be a nurse when im done with college! kids may say things now...but as they get older, it will change. all kids want to be something when they are older, but most of the time when it gets time to be something, they are over it. just let the phase work its way through, and if he continues then talk to him about it. but in the end it will be his choice.
he did nothing wrong, so just talk to him and tell him why u think this is a bad choice and be proud he is thinking of his future

Yes you were wrong and now he will want to be a reporter more than ever, because of your reaction.

Yes, why would you ground him for such a reason. He probably just wants to be a reporter now, but then in two weeks maybe he'll want to be an architect. Who knows?

I think it was not the right thing to do. Maybe instead you should have explained to him a little about why you thought the occupation was such a horrible one. Reporters are not good people but not everyone sees them in this light.
