I got a rose tattooed on my wrist to cover the scar. My parents and friends are gonna freak when I start wearing t shirts, but better that then have them see what's underneath.

Everything I've done in my life has been to please my parents, and they're never satisfied. Just once I wish they'd be proud of me, but they always treat me like shit. I don't even get a "good job" when I did something well. They never seem to appreciate or acknowledge how much I try. All my life I haven't done anything for me. And yet I can't stop trying to please them. I just wish, for once, I'd get a "good job" or "I'm proud of you".

I know that parent angst is so cliche and teenage typical but....

FUCK MY PARENTS! damn.

but even writing that on tangst doesn't make me any less pissed and fucking mad about what they've done.

I'd like to see a therapist but I worry that my parents would be annoyed at me or disappointed that I couldn't deal with my own problems.

So instead I am thinking I will just try to get through college and get a decent job so I can pay for my own therapist. Only, if I can make it that far without offing myself or dropping out I probably won't need one as much.

My parents are perfectly capable of paying for the entirety of my colege with no loans.

My parents have decided they are not paying for my college. At all.

They did it because I started skipping the class that gave me panic attacks.

When I was younger father told me I was faking them, even as I tried to explain why he frightened me so. He ignored me and it was "for my own good."

Now as he denies me this, possibly the most important thing I've ever needed in my whole life, I feel like nothing they've ever done for me in life could've possibly been "for my own good."

This will set me behind years financially, this has set me back a lifetime emotionally... As my mother cries and tells me what a dissappointing daughter I am, and how much they loved me when I was younger before I ruined it all...

I wasn't the one "faking it."

They're taking my brother away from me
They're taking my goddamn best friend away from me and putting him in fucking wisconsin

FUCK he belongs at home

god damn it why the fuck is this happening

I really wish my parents would stop buying me presents. It just makes me sad that they have no idea what I really want and just buy me impersonal things that I have no space or use for and have to keep so that they don't feel bad.

I told them they didn't have to buy me anything this year (Easter really isn't the sort of holiday you need to give gifts on) and then they did anyway.

I wonder if there is any way that we could convince our parents to have a sleepover. Not to have sex, just to spend the night in each others arms. That would be so amazing and fantastic. (sighs) has anyone else had luck with boy/girl sleepovers?

my dad just pisses me the hell off sometimes. his stupid critical jokes ARENT FUNNY ALL THE TIME. and he doesnt realize that hes being an asshole. and if you point it out he denies it and just thinks i cant take a joke. hes so irrational fucking hell. ARG i just wish i could do what i wanted without having to be around him. we have this immediate "forgive and forget" policy just so we can coexist.

I'm failing Calc BC.
I have never been failing a class in my life.

This would probably be a good time to pull it together. If anyone wants to tutor me during 5th lunch or after school, I'd really appreciate it. Or if you know someone who would, let me know.

My parents divorced when I was 8 and I have had an awkward living situation with both of them since then. I have to pack my stuff and alternate houses every two weeks.
It's an okay arrangement, I guess.
But I've never felt like I had a home, and since I have never lived with either of my parents for a long period of time, it never felt like they were parents to me. I had to mostly take care of myself.
I mean, I've been doing my own laundry since I was 8. What 8-year-old does laundry?
I'm used to it now, but I just feel like I was established as an adult way early, and I really wish I had been mothered at some point when I needed it because I never was.
Actually, I still want to be mothered.
I've heard it's a nice feeling.

Most of my best friends don't even know that one of may parents is dead much less that they overdosed on cocaine. Its not that I try to keep it a secret but how often could that type of a thing be said in a conversation.

My dad does the family's laundry every week (washing it together saves water and time). When he sorts it to give back to us, I get a lot of my brother's shirts and my mom's underwear. It makes me feel ugly and weird even though it's only a little problem.

Today I realized the true extent of how much being on your period affects you.

My dad picked me up from this meeting I had and I was crampy and irritable and quiet. Of course, he chooses this time to ask if I had decided what I want to do with my life. And then gave me a sermon when I told him that the reason i didn't want to go to [State School] was because 60% of my school is going to be there.

OF COURSE that isn't the only reason.

God, fucker. I hate it when guys, or parents, don't understand a simple concept known as TIMING.

My self-esteem is a lot lower than usual. My self-esteem used to be really high, but now I feel like what I do is unappreciated and not good enough for anyone: my parents, my friends, the guy I like, or even me.
My parents think I don't try hard enough. My mom thinks I need to get in better shape. I feel like my friends enjoy being with other people more than me and that I get on their nerves sometimes. I'm not confident enough to ask the guy I like on a date. I feel like he's in another social class now, even though Enloe's cliques are hardly ever definite. I feel like I, myself, am not outgoing or interesting enough. It's like I can't satisfy anyone, not even myself.

This is so fucking ridiculous.

I get into unc-ch, the school I want to go to, and it changes nothing. My parents say "study for midterms" and when I say "well, at least after midterms I don't really have to work anymore because I'm a senior and in college" they reply, "No, then there are APs"

WHAT THE FUCK. I am so sick of not being able to hang out with my friends when I want to. I am so sick of having to study for tests that have no meaning anymore. I am so sick of them not understanding that I just don't give a shit anymore.
