I'm so upset right now. I just need to rant and get some outside perspective. Honest outside perspective because if I'm wrong, let me have a better reason than my father's "Because I'm the king of this house"
I fight with my dad constantly, my mom has been out of the picture for years and the only reason I even know she hasn't disappeared is some random text message she sends me once a month.
I feel like everyone assumes too much. I feel like I'm just as much to blame for these fights I'll randomly have, but everytime I ask someone to clarify why they're upset they scream it's my fault because I'm young, stupid or "ignorant" about the "real world". I feel like I have no control. I feel like my stomach is going to implode and no one seems to get it. I'm seventeen, out of high school and trying my best (considering minors can't seem to do anything in regard to work and the "real world") to try and become an adult. But there is always something wrong with what I do, and everytime I make a mistake or even point out something that my parents may say that I think is wrong in the incorrect tone, everything goes to heck and I'm reminded that I'm too dumb and young to know what I'm saying, and that I'm wrong because I'm supposed to be an adult, because I've had sex and am about to by a car (with money I've earned btw). I've never done drugs, I'm not pregnant, I graduated high with honors, I've never been late to anything, I'm organized when it comes to my life (granted my rooms a little cluttered, but whose isn't?) and I'm tired of being denied the respect I've worked for.
I'm seventeen, I've accomplished more than anyone in my family has, and yet I'm looked down upon and constantly screamed at because I don't have "real world" knowledge?
I call bullpoop on that one.
PS: What IS the "real world"? Because I'm pretty sure I can handle more responsibility than a lot of the "respectable adults" living in it.
Ugh. :PP
