how i feel about my life.
So i am sitting here, thinking about what i should write about, and the first thing that comes to thought, is being a teenager in such a small world. Most people would say that "it's a Big world out there". Well to me, it's pretty tiny. I am 17 years old, and i am treated like I am 10. My parents don't let me do much, im pretty much kept on a tight leash, you could say. I do all the chores in my house, and i get fussed at for them not being done right, or not done on they're time, or even doing them at the wrong time; such as when they are watching tv. I try my hardest to help out around the house, and i do everything as i am told to do; but still somehow it's not met to my parents criteria, so it is incorrect. So in turn i get fussed at. Just to remind you, i get no reward for doing this... i don't hang out with my friends often at all, amybe once every two weeks. I feel like a prisnor, a slave. I should be able to do all the things that a normal teenage girl does. My parents treat me like i should be perfect, and never do anything wrong. I never do anything wrong, you could say i am a goody goody. I make the right decisions, and i acctually think about my parents; about what they would think of me. i don't want to disipoint them. Sometimes i think they hold me to a higher standered than i should be. I want a chance to make mistakes, and just be normal. I try so hard, but they don't see it. Maybe one day, I will be able to be myself, and just find who i really am, because i don't have a chance to right now.

Oh baby doll....all I can say is, sometimes, parents forget what its like to be a kid. Or they remember what they were like as a kid and it makes them shudder :)
ReplyDeleteAs a parent its our job to make sure you all are ready for this cruel hard world, you may not always like the decisions we make, but I promise you will understand them once you have your own children and are out on your own.
Im always here if you ever need a shoulder!
Love you baby doll!
Nice girl (:
ReplyDeletethanks ya'll:)
ReplyDeleteAnytime (: So I'm really bored..what are you doing ? haha
ReplyDeleteParents can often be over protective, I know because I was always way more protective over my daughter than my son. It causes a lot of grief, I know,but it's so hard to let go when you love your kids more than anything in the world, as I do. I'm sure your parents feel the same towards you. I totally understand what you're saying though. Just hang in there sweetheart, if you can't talk to your parents, talk to a good friend, aunt, etc. Things will get better, I promise. I urge you to try to talk to your parents about how you feel, at least try. And always remember that they are not trying to punish you, they just love you so much that it's hard to let go. That has been the hardest thing in my life, and parents aren't perfect. I know I didn't handle things well when my daughter was in your position. Just keep your chin up and try to make the best of things. You are an absolutely wonderful young lady, so give Mom and Dad a little credit for raising such a beautiful girl. Although I'm far away, I'm always here for you. I'll give you my phone number if you want. My cell is free long distance, and I'd love to hear your voice. Anyway, enough babble. just keep on keepin' on, and know that you are loved by many, including me.
ReplyDeleteWell thank You. that was very inspirational, like seriously. i understand that i should hang in there. and talk to them,a nd everything, but i've tried talking to them , & they dont understand. im almost 18 years old, i need a little more freedom. & ill try to make everthing worth the while. im trying to jsut wait until i turn 18. but im sure they still wont let me do anything, as long as i live under their roof. & its not like i want to do anything major. i jsut want to see my bestfriend more, & my boyfriend. i want to be able to ride in a car while my bestfriend is driving, and my dad wont allow me to do that. it's rediculous. & i really want a car, atleaste me licence. it's embarassing gettting on the bus when, everyone else has a car. hopefully they will realize that i need some space. & hopefully it will be soon♥
