RANDOM THOUGHTS

14. Dear Mum and Dad

I'm a teenager. I'm emotional and complicated. I'm on my phone most of the time. I don't actually have quite private things on my phone but I'm going to hide things from you. And you have to understand that I'm tired too. You have to understand that I want to live my life like a teenager.  You have to understand that my life isn't so easy. You have to understand that I don't want you to know everything about my life, that I don't want you to get mad at me when I don't want to do something, I'm tired too. I have tests to study for and I can't do that with you hovering over me all the time. I'm sorry that I'm not involved in other activities like my brother. But it's not something that I like. I try my hardest to make you happy but it seems like you never are satisfied with me. I try to keep my grades up. I try to make you happy. I try to do all my chores. I try to be a perfect daughter. But now I know that I can't make you happy. I can try me hardest but you won't be happy, and that's fine.
