My life is going to hell

[some perplexity]

Firstly, I'd like to warn you that what you are going to read is pretty much like an essay. Haha.

Now...

We own a leather couch that my mom treats better than me. (*snigger*) It's actually really sad. I am saying this because I had a sleepover last night. Another important thing to know is that Molly borrows a lot of my clothes. And she borrowed a pair of my pants. She hasn't given them back quite yet. She had to give them back in order to sleep over, but she claims she doesnt have them. So we just pretended this one pair of pants were the ones she borrowed. Well, my mom found out and was REALLY mad.

Well, when my friends, Amy and Molly, and I went to my friend Amy's house, I got a call from my mom. I didn't know she was calling me though. So, she left a voicemail saying,

"Katie, someone SPILLED something on my COUCH and all over the PILLOWS. That's it Katie. Your sh*t isn't going to be taken lightly anymore. You are never to have a sleepover again. And Molly? She's never coming over again. She is never allowed to be wearing any of your clothes. You are not allowed to have friends stay at our house either."

...so who thinks this is stupid?

Well..it gets way more lame. I come home from Amy's and run right over to the couch the second I walk through the door. There is NOTHING wrong with the couch. It looks exactly the same as it did before I had Amy and Mol come over.

My OTHER friend, Caitlin (Erin, you are quite familiar with Cait. lmao), is being annoying. AGAIN. She's going to have me beaten up and jumped by these three loser who couldn't rip a piece of toilet paper. -____-;;

My family expects so much from me. They expect me to be like my brother. A straight A student. They want me to be a sailor like the rest of them. They want me to stop wearing black because they think I'm going to start getting high. They want me to become a doctor instead of being a philosopher when I'm older. My grandmother wants me to be a pianist. My other grandmother wants me to be a swimmer.

I babysit this girl who hits me and stabs me with pencils. I get yelled at for no reason at all. She makes me do her homework for her. She makes me go get a book out in the snow with now socks, shoes, or a coat on.

I'm not allowed to be happy.

The couch part sounds like my mom. Stuff like that is normally said out of anger, but is never taken back.

I'm so sorry, Katie. Things will get better soon, though, so just hang in there.

I hate parents like that. They have to realize that its your life. Its not their place to tell you what you can and cannot do (well...to a point). But one day you wont have to deal with all of their bull, so just hang in there. It may (or may not) seem far off, but the day will come.

You have an interesting idea of what it means to be a parent.

But to be serious, Katie, I know it seems like hell right now, but in just a few years you'll be on your own doing your own thing. And it'll be awesome. So even though things suck right now, it won't suck forever. (Trust me!)

I just know other kids who have the same kind of parents, so I just try to help out.

My mom has anger issues to the point where she can scare the 15 year old boy that lives downstairs

But your mom sounds crazy



But after one of are monumental fights I feel all of those emotions.

Try being as nitpicky with your mom as she is with you. Or, just find workarounds, like your friend coming over, hanging out until ten or whenever, then going back to her house, or sleeping in a car with you or something to show her she isn't all that.

The second penny of my two cents is this: it sounds like an ego problem, too. Your mom is being a bully, in essence, or so it would seem. If you point this out to her, it's like a compound fracture: you can't really deny it, only get p.o.ed that someone told the truth. And, if she starts to punish you, run off and don't come back 'til supper, thus forcing her to think about it. If she's the kind to call the cops, though, just run out and hide in the shed or something, and when you hear the sirens, show up and if she tries to punish you, run off again and so on. The secret to this is to make it look permanent every time

Wow... That sounds a bit like my mom. She's obsessed with always being right, ans controlling my life. She is always screaming at me I never do anything, while she herself sits around all day.

[macman643 offline]

Hey man, hope it gets better.

Hey man, hope it gets better.

Off-topic: Macman, you must remove the signature, you are not allowed cursing.

Katie, I feel for you, I really do - it sounds as if you're getting treated like s**t and you don't deserve it - likewise you should be free to choose what you do with your life and not have those kind of choices made for you.

Like Erynn says, be glad that before long you'll be independant, and I would highly reccomend going to university or college because the sensation of freedom and being among like-minded people is better than any high your parents condescendingly expect you to go on.

Nil Carbonum - don't let the bas***ds grind you down!

No kidding. Five long years until I get out of highschool....

Hope it all works out.

[The BB of C offline]

That is some crazy stuff right there.

[Cecilia offline]

-hugs- It's a pain now, but things'll get better. o.o;; I wish I could say the same for myself. -cries-

But, seriously...be who YOU want to be; you don't have to live up to anyone's expectations but your own.

Going to hell, let me chack my files ......................................................................................,
It looks like your not on my list so your ok. live life for yourself and not them
p.s stab her back she'll never learn unless someone does

Off topic: Maybe it's just me...But why do I remember reading something very similar to this some while ago...?
Well...Whatever..

On topic: Ouch...(for the lack of a better word)...I agree with everyone else....sounds pretty harsh there though...(would it cheer you up if you got a hug from me...? (even though we hardly know each other...? )) Well...don't mind me if this isn't helping (i've been known to give some unhelpful adivce before....) Uh...Just go with everyone else said!

Just what I was going to say. You're living your life, not your parents. Your parents have to know that you are not them, that you are not your brother. When I don't get straight A's, my dad's like

How come everyone else got an A and you didn't?

Also, if Caitlin is going to have you beaten up, why is she your friend? Or is she not really your friend; you just call her that?
As for the couch, that's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. I value my possessions very much, but not as much as my friends. Items and possessions can be replaced, but people cannot.
Your parents seem to act as if they own you. The act of owning another person is slavery, and slavery is illegal.

OKay, try talking to your family about it. When the topic about your future is brought up, and they mention they want you to be whatever, say "Hey, it's my life! You can WISH that I will become like that, but I will make my own decisions, because when I'm 18, you have no more control over me!â€

Your parents seem to act as if they own you. The act of owning another person is slavery, and slavery is illegal.

actually since under United States law until you are 18 your parents are acting en parentai and so in esscence own you until you are 18 the only time in which you are exempt from this law is when you are given permission by your parents to do something out of everyone's juristiction under your own supervision, but US law aside, your parents sound as if they are living vicariously through you while at the same time bullying you. This is not acceptable in the US if it gets too bad use this argument to attempt to be emancipated if the attempt fails at least your parents will know that you will not stand for that behavior
