I'm sick and tired of this. Fighting, arguing, and abuse from none other than my
parents.
They say I'm irresponsible, and childish. My opinions mean nothing to them and when
I voice them, I pay for it.
With physical and verbal abuse.

First off, don't say I'm not responsible.
I am, managing good grades (As and Bs), tutoring, practicing for band, basketball,
and having a great relationship going for seven months.
If I can manage all that and not screw up, I am responsible.

Second, I am childish in ways but not the ways you say I am.
I'm a teenager and I have mood swings, and pms. Blame those, not me for my sudden
anger.
And I answer always with 'I don't know' not because it's my favorite phrase.
But because most of the time, I honestly do not know.

And every time you get angry at me, over something small, I don't get angry back.
Frustrated and sad, yes. Mad, no. At least I can control my temper when I'm not on
pms or mood swing mode.
And when I voice my opinion and it's not the same as yours, you think it's stupid or
idiotic.

Recently, we were asked to do a report on a famous person you look up to. I chose
Hayley Williams, with her vibrant red hair and wild outgoing attitude that inspires
me to be like her. My parents voiced it as stupid, that she has no impact on the
world and they don't even know who she is. Tell that millions of her adoring fans
and you will get trampled. She has an impact on me and even though it's not a
personal report, I have to write on a person that has personally inspired me. Not
someone whose done good that has not at all inspired me. Sure, Cory Aquino and
Alexander Graham Bell may have impacted my parents but not me. I could care less
about them.


Kids say they want to say with their parents and some teens and young adults who are
going of to college say that.
I'm different. When I hit that legal eighteen and go off to college, I'll be
rejoicing the freedom.

Sorry for venting and ranting. Just needed to get it off my chest before I exploded
in front of my parents.
