Even though I am apathetic, my parents made me go vote today, urging me to vote straight republican. I was so angry that I voted straight democrat to spite them. Oops.
I wanted to sell my vote on ebay to the highest bidder. You should do the same with your parents. say "Sure, I'll vote that way. Give me 20$ per candidate."
Nobody should be able to TELL another person how they should vote. Like another noter said, if you are old enough to vote, you are old enough to vote however you want to.
Noone should ever be pressured into voting for ONE set "group". I urge you to take the time & educate yourself.. chose for yourself what side you want to take!
