Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I had to move the computer from my room to my mom. Why? Because of report cards that's why. She said I wasn't improving and my grades are low. Low?! My lowest grade in my card was a 90, and my highest a 95. U think that's low?! Ok, i dropped a few points but im still First Honors and a good valedictorian nominee. And she thought my grades were LOW!!! Aaaarrrggh!!!! After that she gets mad, callin me stupid when the dumb computer kept shutting off by itself and said it wuz my fault da thing went haywire. I'm writin dis frum the school computer so Im kinda in a rush since my time is almost up. I hate the fact that she can't accept anything less than perfect and that her dumb xpectations are too high. Im always the scapegoat here when her dumb tantrums go up. blehh I am the result of a typical dysfuctional family |

dysfunctional family eh? are there any other types? easier said than done but don't let it get to you, if you listen to much you start to believe it and that's where things go sour |

There are 3 sides to every story, and before I jump on the bandwagon and claim "dysfunctional," I would have to hear your mom's side, and then determine what the center is. Hold your head up.  |

You get A's for writing this under pressure? quote: You get A's for this being permissable? This is excellent? |

Ummm...that sig...that wasn't part of the rant, I just found that somewhere online and have used it on all my stuff for the last few months so it's nothing. And what is that supposed to mean? I didn't a grade for this and yea it sounded like I'm a brat. Still, if she would just stop to look at me and see that I'm not some robot, but an imperfect growing kid, then I she wouldn't be so nervewracking all the time. Do you know how hard it is being forced to follow someone else's footsteps? Being demanded nothing else but the best, and not mine? And how much it hurts to see how all your efforts seem like a waste when you can't reach those staggering expectations? Do you cry in the corner of your room thinking how much you've failed? How all your achievements seem like nothing when your parents never pay attention to them, only looking for mistakes. To live on without hearing a "Good job" or "you worked real hard today"....I'm sorry. If it sounded mean I apologize. I'm not a happy person. I'm not real friendly either. I'm just someone trying to find one why I continue to go on when I have nothing to drive me forward... |

believe in yourself...get good grades for yourself and be happy that you are doing your best even if others don't always acknowledge it. I remember when I use to get straight A's in school and one term I got 1 B instead of an A..and my mother said to me..."What happened." Sometimes they get to expect certain things from their children . When you have to follow 3 other siblings you can never compete. You just have to be yourself and do your best and that is all anyone can do. I was just teasing about the signature... Be proud of yourself. Sometimes parents want to live through their kids. hugs again for being you M |

...that's my problem. Even I think I'm never good enough and I'm never acknowledged. As for parents trying to live through their kids that isn't it...she's the one I have to follow. Mom was the elementary and high school valedictorian. Recived honorable mentions in college. She joined the Red Cross and charities to help the needy when she was in her teens. Currently in university again to get a Bachelor's in Computer Science. That's a very long shadow ahead of me and it's growing even longer. The effort I put in school and all my other activities aren't for my benefit. I've nothing to gain. I think I just do it so I don't bring shame. Appearance means a lot to mom, and it's taking a big toll on me. I'm losing sleep. I cry for no reason. I put myself down all the time...and she doesn't notice it. No one does. As long as I keep up appearances nothing else matters. Years behind a happy mask, covering the tears. Behind each forced laugh is a subtle sob. I want escape. A little freedom. A life with lower expectation. But really, I think, I just want to be noticed for what I achieved, not what I failed. Colors fading, grays rise deep. Only tearful eyes shall grant me sleep. Joy is now a memory, love a fantasy. I sink deeper into a void. But I still have hope. Hope that I will soon fade away and die unknown so I can never be judged again... |
