I feel like my parents hate me
Everyday I wake up and realize what a great day it is going to be. There are days that my parents are supportive on what I do and then I hear splat, like if they crush me. I just don’t understand them at all, I tell them that I want to do this and they say ok, but then I hear “just give up”. I’m a very emotional person who can not control anything, the water works begin immediately. I hate it when my parents compare me with people I do not even know, saying that they do it much better then I do. Where’s the support I need to move on with my life, I’m just being crushed everyday. I was never the bright one in the family, my brother is and he gets sometimes all the attention he wants. I’m the one who sometimes gets left in the corner. I try the best that I can be and nothing, I just wish sometimes that I had all the money in the world and move out, but I can not hold myself economically. I try to lock myself in the room and my mother comes banging the door and she thinks I’m crying when I just want some alone time. If I want a boyfriend, I can’t have him because she thinks he’s too ugly, if I want a certain type of clothes, I can’t have it because I look fat in it, if I want to wear sweatpants and a shirt at home, I can’t because I look to ugly and I’m not even going out! I try to do the best in me and to prove them wrong, but parents keep winning. I just want a peaceful life where I can breath and smile. I don’t want to hear “drop out of school, because you are going nowhere and find a job at least you will make money,” knowing that they where the ones who encourage me to go to college. Another problem I have is their car. I do not have my own so I use theirs. I had a job where I worked for five months and used half of the money for school, because my parents only payed for tuition and I had to pay for uniforms and books. What I had left over wasn’t going to be enough for a car and now I am getting blamed for my mom not having her car to go to work. Sometime I do wish I was dead, and then I realize that I can do better with myself. I do feel that my parents hate me, but then I think its a phase in life that we all have to go through. I just have to be strong and know that everything will be just fine.
