Dear Diary,
It feels like nobody understands. I have done EVERYTHING right to be the perfect daughter, sister, and student. I literally did all eight extra credit assignments for my psychology class, and my teacher didn't even say thank you when I turned them in. What kind of crap is that?
Anyway, I don't know how much longer I can do this. I've been the "good girl" all my life. My parents raised me to always be a leader, to obey, to trust only myself, and to do amazing things. Once in middle school, they grounded me for getting a B+ as a class grade. Ruthless right? Since I'm very involved with academics, I ace every exam, complete all assignments, and talk to my teachers regularly to be on good terms with them. Personally, I don't think it's an issue. I don't want to be working at a low-salary job for the rest of my life because I didn't try in high school. I wanna be rich, buy designer bags, high-end makeup, the best gaming consoles, and buy those $30 premier access Disney+ movies. Sadly, those dreams can't be accomplished unless I continue to deal with being called a"goody-two-shoes" or "teacher's pet" every day.
I'm sick of it. I want my future to be amazing and I want to be known as a good person. But, this adolescent pressure is REAL. I'm debating about sticking up for myself, showing that I can be favored and recognized. I don't want to be known as "Lani the Cute-Innocent-Virgin". That would be lame to tell my children in the future.
I'm just frustrated. These feelings will pass by the morning. Nothing is going to change or happen anyway.
Yours truly,
Roselani.
