Do you ever notice how you never get

acknowledged for the hard work you do, yet

you get acknowledged for the wrong you do?


Your parents don't say, "Great job on those

good grades. I'm so proud of you!" And if they do,

it's always accompanied by a, "But, make sure you

talk to your teacher to get that 'C' up."


Say your report card comes in and you have bad grades.

They look at it, then look at you with a disappointed look.

"Your grades are bad. Why? You were doing so well."

You just sit there, and eventually say, "I don't know."

Only, I dont know isn't what you're thinking.


What you're thinking is, 'Maybe I'm hurting.

Maybe I just don't have the energy to act okay

and keep my grades up. Maybe I'm not good at

that class. Maybe I'm stressed and the way I

deal with it is,not do my work or pretend not

to care.'


I just hate that parents assume that we aren't doing

well in school or in anything else because

we simply choose not to. Sometimes thats the

case with some kids, but not every reason for us

failing at something is because

we choose not to put effort in.


Parents often say that we have no one

to but ourselves. And although that may be true,

we don't need that constant reminder, especially

if we struggle with things like self hate.


Honestly, it pisses me off. Someone who struggles with

self hate already blames their self for even things

that they had no control over. So, imagine them

blaming them self for things that they do have control

over. And then multiple people constantly saying,

"You have no one to blame but yourself."


Like holy shit. I know I have no one to blame

but myself. Please just shut up. You arent helping

with anything. You are just making things worse.
