Broken Pencils and Parentals
Topic Description: An exercise in futility.
|
I tried as hard as I could without resorting to fighting words, that I wanted more privacy. For example, stop asking why there are tissues next to my bed - you know very well why... and it's not nosebleeds. When I say knock, knock before you start opening the door. Not after you're already talking to me. When I turn off my monitor, when I close a window, it is none of your business what I was reading, who I am talking too. If I don't wanna eat, don't get all mental and paranoid on me. I'm not starving myself, so just back the fuck off. If I get up early, don't ask eight times why I'm awake. If I stayed up all night, it's irrelevant, and if I'm just awake, it just is, so don't worry about it. If I'm making a coffee, how about you try just not asking how many I've had. If I say I don't want to talk about something, listen. Stop pushing it. Stop talking completely even. Walk away. If I'm in a bad mood, don't expect me to let you know that nicely. If I tell you to go away, just take the hint. If I ignore you when you say hi, assume you've upset me or I'm upset. Don't look at me strangely everytime I try new makeup - it's not like you've never seen me wear makeup before. Hell, I once put on a bra and stuffed oranges down there. If you suspect something, just ask. Whether it's about sex, drugs or rock and roll. I know you're only human... and so am I. Treat me like one.

Agreed on so many levels.
Sounds almost poetic... Don't tell me I'm not talking to you enough, when you're the one not listening. I don't want to talk. This post has been edited by Matthew Xavier: Jun 15 2007, 06:21 AM

ledemente, i cant beleive after all you say u end it with
QUOTE If you suspect something, just ask. it seems like if your parents ask u anything u just tell them to fuck off and leave u alone. u probably think they r real assholes for not leaving u alone yet u want them to be able to confront you. as u say, they r only human. they r ur bloody parents. it is in our nature to care for our young. i dont think u appreciate how much your parents actually do for you. and just because they are concerned about you they r being assholes? i dont think so. get over yourself. its not the whole world against you. though parents may not always be a whole lot of fun, at the end of the day they care about you. they will be intrusive and pushy but they have a right to be intrested in their child's life...to an extent. all im saying is that they feed you, house you and support u. im not pretending to know you or your parents but really, how about giving them some info instead of keeping silent and criticizing them for being concerned about u.

What are the tissues for?
|
u really r a lesbian arent u?
|
 wanna do secks?
|
Yes. I am quite the lesbian.
Although I don't wish to discuss a certain persons reply above too extensively, I think they missed the point. While yes, I'm probably a little snappy towards my parents, it's because they're always asking questions that don't matter or they know they should leave alone... While the questions that are actually important like: "did you take drugs at that photo shoot?" and "Are you ...?" are never said. Simply danced around with irritating insinutations.

I can understand your perspective, because yes, parents are annoying. I find a lot of the same problems with me as well, but I still try to recognise the amount of stuff my parents do for me. The thing is, any authority figure will be annoying, and the closer you have to be to them, the more annoying (usually).
The thing is, adolescence is basically a time when your whole body gets messed up by hormones, year 11 to the end of uni/TAFE is a time when you also have to deal with heaps of other crap at the same time.

In a previous post, someone said I act hostile towards them when they ask questions.
Perhaps you're missing something here? They're parents. We're the children (kinda) Clearly we care about each other. And at the same time, we really piss each other off. Think of it more as a commentary, rather than any actual mudslinging.
